Hopefully they located the stereo master tape instead of using the bad-sounding vinyl dub that's been reissued on every CD. I can say with 100% certainty that the stereo mix on the MCA LP folds down to the mono 45 perfectly.]]> Sun, 03 Jul 2022 09:40:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3952&PID=61187&title=frankie-vallicant-take-my-eyes#61187 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3952&PID=61186&title=frankie-vallicant-take-my-eyes#61186 Author: Steve Carras

Only OBVIOUS reason...to get it on the air! And I've seen
that one before..

The box set contents have been announced and though there
maybe a few changes between now and release date, in
December. No mono Can't Take My Eyes Off You will be found
as they could not locate a mono mastertape. But if the song

I noticed the song (as famous as it is) doesn't appear domestically on CD in MONO.

Is the MONO a fold down of the STEREO? The mono I have suffers from the same distortion everyone is talking about.

My impression is there are so many compilations out there that a box set spanning 40 discs would be overkill.

I've read about that box set, which has been in the works since 2018. It keeps getting pushed back, although I can't say I'd spring for a 40-disc box set of the 4 Seasons. With any luck, maybe the masters they uncover will be used for other smaller "hits" projects and/or digital download.]]> Tue, 04 Jan 2022 19:08:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3952&PID=59961&title=frankie-vallicant-take-my-eyes#59961 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3952&PID=59958&title=frankie-vallicant-take-my-eyes#59958 Author: TallPaulInKy

There is a new 40 plus CD box set beginning prepared by
Snapper Records in England. Titled, The Four Seasons
Catalogue Box Set, it will include all their albums (in
mono and stereo) plus bonus tracks of the 45 mixes. Can't
Take My Eyes Off You (the original single) should be on
disc 13 with the stereo copy of the Frankie Valli Solo
album. Everything is being remastered for best sound by
Snapper's Engineers.]]> Tue, 04 Jan 2022 17:04:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3952&PID=59958&title=frankie-vallicant-take-my-eyes#59958 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3952&PID=59957&title=frankie-vallicant-take-my-eyes#59957 Author: aaronk

One more small observation. The CD version seems to have a small amount of reverb and compression added to it that the stereo Very Best Of LP does not have. I also pulled the mono 45 and compared it to the stereo versions. The mono version is a fold-down of the stereo version that's on my MCA vinyl Very Best Of LP. The 45 doesn't seem to have the extra reverb, but it does have a heavy dose of bass added to it.]]> Tue, 04 Jan 2022 11:21:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3952&PID=59957&title=frankie-vallicant-take-my-eyes#59957 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3952&PID=59956&title=frankie-vallicant-take-my-eyes#59956 Author: aaronk

That makes sense. The CD copies do sound like they have vinyl distortion, although I don't necessarily hear any ticks/clicks or vinyl rumble. It's just very distorted.]]> Tue, 04 Jan 2022 10:33:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3952&PID=59956&title=frankie-vallicant-take-my-eyes#59956
