The drums are there in the stereo mix but are buried VERY deeply in the mix.]]> Sun, 06 Nov 2011 22:27:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5890&PID=31871&title=the-rain-the-park-other-cowsills#31871 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5890&PID=31868&title=the-rain-the-park-other-cowsills#31868 Author: Pat Downey

I hear drums on the 45 at the 1:15 mark that I do not hear on the stereo LP version.]]> Sun, 06 Nov 2011 14:04:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5890&PID=31868&title=the-rain-the-park-other-cowsills#31868 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5890&PID=31865&title=the-rain-the-park-other-cowsills#31865 Author: MMathews

Ed

If it's helpful, i did a careful comparison between the 2
versions a few years back, because a friend was sure he
was hearing some element in the mono he wasn't hearing in
the stereo.
I had to admit, the mono sounded very different to me.

It turned out after a synch-test, they both share all the
same elements. The big difference i heard was EQ. The
stereo version is very "flat" and mid-rangy. The mono
mix sounded very dry and bassy, with the drums and bass
guitar louder in the mix than in the stereo. And the
vocals seem much drier in the mono mix.

In this case, i found great improvement in the stereo by
EQ-ing it more like the 45.

i just a/b'ed the vinyl 45 and the version from the cd
below

(S)     (3:00)   &nb sp; Rebound 314520204 Best Of (LP version)

and aside from the obvious mono/stereo differences, they
sound pretty much the same......can someone point out what
specifically is different about them?]]> Sat, 05 Nov 2011 17:13:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5890&PID=31864&title=the-rain-the-park-other-cowsills#31864 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5890&PID=27751&title=the-rain-the-park-other-cowsills#27751 Author: Yah Shure

Not sure when the labels changed their logos.
This one is in mono on the Millenium Masters disc.

Todd,

This song is available on the 45s on CD series from the original Mono single master tape mixed by Brooks Arthur. Some comps have it in Stereo. ]]> Thu, 09 Sep 2010 11:36:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5890&PID=27748&title=the-rain-the-park-other-cowsills#27748 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5890&PID=27706&title=the-rain-the-park-other-cowsills#27706 Author: Todd Ireland

The actual commercial 45 run time of The Cowsills "The Rain, the Park & Other Things" is 3:00, not 2:57 as stated on the record label. (Thanks to Jim for relaying the timing info.) Currently, database CD entries containing the 45 version run 2:54-2:59.]]> Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:37:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5890&PID=27706&title=the-rain-the-park-other-cowsills#27706
