for what it's worth....my german import cd "no milk today:
herman's hermits best" contains the 45 version of "i can
take or leave your loving" running 2:32....it has the early
baby and the muffled talkover...

Pat, asking why you have "45 version" for 2 the CDs with the mono version of this song?]]> Sat, 28 Feb 2009 14:57:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3143&PID=21336&title=hermans-hermits-songs#21336 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3143&PID=14658&title=hermans-hermits-songs#14658 Author: TomDiehl1

Some of the later songs on ABKCO's Retrospective cd were re-mixed back to mono from the existing multitrack tapes....I Can Take Or Leave Your Loving was one of them, and i believe Dandy is another...]]> Fri, 22 Feb 2008 18:20:26 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3143&PID=14647&title=hermans-hermits-songs#14647 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3143&PID=14631&title=hermans-hermits-songs#14631 Author: satchdr

Yes, eriejwg. I compared the two and they are identical (although the "Retrospective" version is very, very slightly slower than the Disky CD version.)

And Robert, the stereo Disky version is the same as you describe from "The EMI Years Vol. 1."

The 45 versions listed in the database for "A Must To Avoid" are mono. Is the stereo version the same as the 45?]]> Thu, 21 Feb 2008 17:00:28 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3143&PID=14613&title=hermans-hermits-songs#14613 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3143&PID=14605&title=hermans-hermits-songs#14605 Author: Robert

Should that be noted on the DB? But what kind of distinction? 45 mix versus what? And if there is a voice overdub, then might there be multis somewhere begging to see the light of day? Strange indeed.

As for "A Must To Avoid," thanks for the heads-up. I'll put it on my list. It's also stereo on "The EMI Years Vol 1" but it's the same thin-sounding mix as its LP counterpart, with the percussion and bass mixed way down and the percussion of to the right. It really loses its punch. I'd love to hear a remix of this one that was more faithful to the 45. On the other hand, the 45 sounds overmodulated, too.]]> Thu, 21 Feb 2008 08:11:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3143&PID=14605&title=hermans-hermits-songs#14605 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3143&PID=14601&title=hermans-hermits-songs#14601 Author: satchdr

Robert, the 45 version of "I Can Take Or Leave Your Loving" (as you described it with louder talkover) must be the version on the CD "Herman's Hermits - Best Of The 60s" on Disky SI 250742 because I can hear what Peter Noone is saying on most of the talkover on that version but can't on the "Retrospective" version.

The Disky CD has a total of 18 cuts, 17 of which are on "Retrospective" and, in addition, "Years May Come, Years May Go." The real gem on the Disky CD is "A Must To Avoid" in true stereo. The rest of the cuts are all in mono as on "Retrospective."]]> Thu, 21 Feb 2008 00:04:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3143&PID=14601&title=hermans-hermits-songs#14601 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3143&PID=14597&title=hermans-hermits-songs#14597 Author: Robert

Sorry - the first song I was referring to was "I Can Take Or Leave Your Loving." I had originally tried to squeeze it into the subject box but it wouldn't fit. Then I added the mention of the second song.
