In Reply to: I have a stereo Classic and an original stereo six-eye. posted by olddude55 on May 12, 2007 at 15:33:21:
...classic made a huge deal about pitch-correcting one version. i'm guessing that if you had that version you'd know it. i think they did a reissue of the KOB that we all know, then later did a 'corrected' version -- and i think made available a 2-record set with both.but i could be wrong.
i've been thinking of looking for a mono. i have a stereo 6-eye, and i also have a sealed stereo 6-eye (the inner poly bag is sealed). maybe i should sell that one @ auction.
Follow Ups:
The pitch corrected version is from a safety of the mix-down master that Sony pulled out of the vaults for a gold CD issue. They found the safety because the original master was wearing out. The safety was used by the folks at Classic to cut the double lp with both speed corrected and non-speed corrected versions. They achieved the non speed corrected version by slowing down the safety tape until it matched the pitch of the original lp.The single lp uses the correctly pitched Classic stampers from the two lp set.
I have the two lp set and the 45. They smoke the stereo original, but a good pressing of the mono original is hard to beat, because the mono master was so good.
Buy the 1 LP Classic from truebluemusic for $35 shipped, or wait a week and hope to score a mono copy for around the same price or a few bucks less?I'm leaning toward the Classic after reading the review -- sounds like it's actually closer to the master (and actual session) than anything...but mmmmmm, 6-eye mono...

back in the days when they were easy to find cheap. The first three looked great but sounded lousy, mostly because of pressing issues, like high stamper #'s or poor vinyl. The fourth looks more beat up, but plays like a dream, so it is the one I kept.
I guess that might account for the price differentials ($25-$300). Since I'm buying it to listen to rather than to collect I will likely get the Classic. Thanks again!

to my knowledge, it hasn't been released at the correct speed on vinyl by anyone else.
read the review...still not sure what I should get, but i may wait a few days and see what happens on ebay. Thanks!
