In Reply to: Sorry for one more dumb question posted by gonzo on December 17, 2005 at 14:45:41:
In my experience, records jackets often had little to no information about how an album was processed. Only rarely have I seen information that went beyond where the album was recorded, and by whom. Record companies probably didn't want the unsuspecting public to know that an album was "reprocessed" from mono to "fake" stereo (like many Captiol releases in the 60s). Their hope was likely that they wanted us to be fooled into thinking it WAS stereo.I have always been one to search for all the technical information I could find about the records I bought and enjoyed. Why, just this evening, I listened to the 5.1 version of "Pet Sounds" that was released a couple of years ago. I looked at all the track information that there was and listened to the extra mixes and instrumentation they gave. It is a blast, and I get an insight into how they really worked when they made the album.
I have been mostly disappointed in the lack of information on record jackets, especially from the 50s and early 60s. I felt lucky when there was a date, or (gasp!) the engineer's name!
These days, when I want to ferret more information for a particular album or group, I Google it...
Good luck, and have a nice holiday,
PhilGo, Muffin!
