Ignore one of your posts? Never!
ReplyDeleteIt happens...
DeleteDave from Ardmore wonders why you must apologize for using mono copies of albums. If the stereos were made in the 1950s or even most of the 60s, they are often, in not invariably, inferior to the mono. Leave well enough alone because it was better. I know because I have made enough comparisons to be sure of myself.
ReplyDeleteDon't like mono...

ReplyDeleteDave from Ardmore wishes you a Happy New Year and a much-needed reevaluation of mono. But I won’t waste any more breath on lost causes. Too many more important espousals to make in 2026.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you as well!!
DeleteCatching up on some of these, thanks, Ernie. As I related to Lee, some years ago, as a kid, my Pawpaw (grandfather) had a stereo copy of an album entitled An Organ And Chimes Christmas and I loved it. I remember it started out with Joy To The World, in C. Other cuts included Jingle Bells in G, with an accordion and what were supposed to be bells in the mix, It Came Upon The (or is that A) Midnight Clear in B Flat, with a celeste on that one, with the final cut being that new years cut (never know how to spell it) in G, with the bell ringing twelve times, right before the accordion plays (I believe) the last line or either the chorus. A former coworker of mine was looking through some albums he thought I might want one night via phone and he mentioned this one and started telling me the titles and I said, I'll take it! I still may have it, somewhere and I remember it being in mono, with the vinyl being very brittle and the cover very rough. I remember Pawpaw's copy's cover being smooth, but I don't remember how the vinyl felt. Re: sound of the vinyl, my copy was in pretty rough shape, to match the other condition LOL and Pawpaw's was in a lot better shape, possible issued later. I do remember both albums being very bassy LOL. Thanks for the records and memories, happy new year, love and praying for y'all.

Glad I was able to tease out a memory for you!
DeleteThanks, Ernie! I still have what I believe is your older rip of the "stereo" version. Listening now, it seems they pulled off a new low in rack jobber deceptive cheapness: Side One is (bad) fake stereo (everything crammed into the left channel, faint echo in right), and Side Two is...straight up mono. Gotta love the budget labels! :)
ReplyDeleteThey always find a way to go lower...
DeletePlease feel free to ignore Sy Mann-Everybody's Christmas Favorites-Organ And Chimes (Webster Hi FI XM-901, Mono, 1957).
ReplyDeleteNo-way as they say. I love Organ and Chimes albums. I only wished they offered Chimes more often in our church Masses. Only during one or two Masses for Christmas, and only for a few years. I cannot remember what became of the man who played the Chimes, I do know he was not very young.
Glad you like it. Chimes are an old-fashioned thing nowadays, and I think organs are on the way out as well. I doubt they'll ever disappear, but they seem to be less and less popular each decade.
