Mason Proffit - Good Friend Of Mary's / Hard Luck Women as reviewed by lukpac

I'm hard pressed to believe that this single from the second album came out at the same time as the first album. Can somebody check the date?


What in the entry indicates it came out at the same time as the first album?

Eric Burdon & The Animals - Sky Pilot lukpac

The promo 45 has the full song on the B-side.

Note the 45 and LP mixes are different, and both exist split into part 1/part 2 and complete on various releases.

Have you actually heard the pressing in question? Sundazed is issuing a mono LP taken from a UK mono tape, and the samples they provided (which are definitely not a fold of the stereo mix) match an LP with the matrices listed here. Is there a different UK pressing that's a fold-down? Or is that just an urban legend?

The Who - Live At Leeds Complete lukpac

1) There was no complete Leeds vinyl boot. Live At Leeds Complete is from tape, not vinyl. The "popping" is on the original recording, removed for the recent remixes.

2) The bass was fine on Leeds. Hull was the following night, the 15th, and it's that recording that had problems with the bass.

It's actually not very good at all. It's from a poor sounding copy tape.

The Beatles - 1962-1966 lukpac

"Not quite as bad as the first CD release of this! where ALL the 7 side 1 tracks (viz CD tracks 1 to - 7) were presented in 1ch mono."

Untrue. I Want To Hold Your Hand, All My Loving, and Can't Buy Me Love were stereo.

The Beatles = ザ・ビートルズ* - Abbey Road = アビイ・ロード lukpac

"Unlike the original release, it didn't come from a flat transfer of the master tapes. It used (Yikes!) a digital copy."

No, the 1987 CD came from the master tape.

"In fact, the CP35-3016 (often called the "Black Triangle" version in reference to the label artwork) has less dynamic range compression and (consequently) less hiss than the officially sanctioned 1987 version."

Hiss is about the same on the 2 CDs, and the dynamic range is similar.

The Who - A Stereo Quick One(While Pete's Away) lukpac

Completely false. The stereo mixes were all made in 1966 and released on vinyl at the time. This bootleg is taken from needledrops of a few different LPs.

The track times for several songs are longer than on most releases. For instance, After Midnight is listed as 3:15 instead of 2:53. Does this particular release actually have the longer track times, or were these simply carried over from another entry?
