I was listening to either Revolver or Rubber Soul in mono this afternoon and I thought the vocal on a verse suddenly sounded different. First thing I thought was it must have been a punch in.
The earlier albums are the "worse"...you routinely hear vocal and instrumental splices/punch-ins etc. quite clearly... I mean, it's ok, that's how those records were made, and lord knows you never heard all that on a portable AM radio or a Sears home "record player" with a 100 gram tracking force tone arm, which is how I got "imprinted" on this stuff...I'm just saying...don't know it there's sufficient technology available to smooth all that stuff out now, but if not, there needs to be...
Or is that what MP3s are for?
Now I'm going to notice them all the time!
