I agree, John, that the bass and percussion sounds better on the remixed version. You can actually hear the bass guitar and drums, which are pretty buried on the LP and 45 mixes. But yes, the first verse is wonky, and some of the other instrumentation is completely lost on the remix.

Aaron, my stereo vinyl copy of The Mamas & The Papas Deliver (Dunhill DS-50014) contains the double-tracked first verse.

I never heard the remix until buying the MCA/JVC 16 Of Their Greatest Hits Steve Hoffman-remastered CD. The beefier bass was welcome, but the wonky first verse was most definitely not. Still, it was better than the out-of-phase "Creeque Alley" on that same CD. That was one of the first things I heard on a new oldies competitor's first day in the format.]]> Sun, 12 Jan 2014 09:41:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7891&PID=40232&title=mamas-papas-dedicated-to-the-one#40232 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7891&PID=40230&title=mamas-papas-dedicated-to-the-one#40230 Author: aaronk

Although there is not a notation in the database, there are two very different stereo versions of "Dedicated To The One I Love."

The stereo version that appears on AM Gold has a single-tracked first verse, while the version on All The Leaves Are Brown contains a double-tracked first verse. The AM Gold version also has the lead guitar and piano very, very far back in the mix. In some places, you can barely hear the piano. The percussion and bass guitar are brought forward quite a bit in this mix.

I do not own any vinyl LPs, but the 45 definitely has a double-tracked first verse. Hopefully Pat can sort out the various CDs with the different stereo mixes.]]> Sat, 11 Jan 2014 23:51:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7891&PID=40230&title=mamas-papas-dedicated-to-the-one#40230
