A CD MANY OF US WISH EXISTED...

[Mr Bill]

Here it is. Once I get my new used turntable to work properly I plan to make this CD... Of course, I'm counting back from 4101 (Bull) and 4100 (Canadian Lucille Starr) so it's A&M SP4099...

[Mr Bill]

And I made a quick fix -- I had a title wrong initially...

--Mr Bill
off to do some ignoring

That's proof of the wonders of technology. Up until now the parallel universe of "LPs which might have been" was just a dream.

PS: Bring on that Kenjolairs' LP, etc.

They're comin'!

[DAN BOLTON]

Hey, Mr. Bill...would you do an album cover for me someday?


Don't laugh...I'd really like to do one, and I almost have enough material...it's kinda all over the place...but it's comin'!


Dan, wondering if he should call his collection AURAL GRATIFICATION or THE ECLECTIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA PRESENTS...

 

[Mr Bill]

Sure Dan!

Gee. This looks like a stereo copy. That's got to be near impossible to find, since all of the tracks from the singles are mono! I think it needs to be redone as LP 099.

Then I want a nicely CD-sized, printable copy!

[Mr Bill]

I figured if anybody caught that it would be you, Harry! Actually I plan to "stereo-ize" them whan I get around to doing it...

--Mr Bill
noting, of course, that the actual 2-letter prefix would be neither SP nor LP -- it would be CD!

 

[Rudy]

I'll keep my CD in mono. I remember what a sonic disaster "rechanneled" stereo was in the mid-late 60's. Maybe in the coming year or two I'll start getting these singles rounded up so I can do my own high-res 24/96 DVD-Audio version.

 

[Harry]

Yeah - keep that fake stereo stuff away. Give me REAL mono, the way the songs were intended to be heard!

Harry
...purist, online...

 

[Rudy]

...and kill the no-noise and the compression too!

I wonder what it would cost for someone to round up all those early non-A&M singles' master tapes and put them onto CD? It would probably be a dud sales-wise, but then again, as curious as some folks are, it could be a surprise seller too.

 

[Mr Bill]

especially those Burnette and Basil tracks!

It might be neat if we made our own "fantasy" album covers and posted them here.

Wow! What a great idea. I'll start by doing a Dore Alpert cover!

--Mr Bill
heavy on the sarcasm...

 

[Rudy]

I have a couple of compilation ideas in mind. If I get creative with the scanner and Photoshop, I can pull off some good ones.

Cool idea! I've done several Herbs, Sergios and one Baja. I've never posted an image here so maybe I'll try it with a couple of mine. If I ever get any spare time ...

 

[Dave]

This makes me wish we could bring back our "A&M In A Parallel Universe" Thread. Where we posted those "albums" from 3999-back, which were really Unreleased LP's or LP's made by A&M artists who only made singles.

As for "fantasy album covers", I've made a few of those, too.

That cover makes nice computer wallpaper! I think you should make it and sell it! I'm buying it!
