Eight years later I'm comparing the various copies of "Born To Be Wild" I have (all stereo except the AC / Dunhill collection) and WOW is the mono a revelation!

From the huge BOOM reverb on the opening drum hit, to the deep bass... I had fully planned to put the stereo version on my Halloween station, but I'm struggling now because Aaron's dub sounds better than the stereo copies!

I know about about the last person to say it here, but fantastic job!!!

Disagree about "Dialogue."

That sounds interesting too!

While I was at the 45 shop, I picked up a copy of Monster. I haven't listened to it yet but assume the editing will be hard to bear. Dunhill 45-D-4221.
Included on the back is the single "Berry Rdes Again."

Another great song that shouldn't have been released as a 45 IMHO. Also Chicago "Dialogue."

To Dave:

If you want the physical mono 45 for your collection,
head down to your 45 store or Discogs - but it won't
sound as good as the mono version on the 'ABC/Dunhill
Singles' CD! The team did a fine job on this release.

I should have written "Track" instead of "CD' in that instance.

The CD does say on the back cover that it was mastered by Steve Hoffman. I was intending to note that the individual track says its source was Dunhill 4138.

I'm going to head down to the local 45 store and see if that one is available. I suppose I could also look over at Discogs as well.]]> Wed, 04 Aug 2021 10:19:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8376&PID=58750&title=steppenwolf-the-abc-dunhill-singles-cd#58750 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8376&PID=58749&title=steppenwolf-the-abc-dunhill-singles-cd#58749 Author: AndrewChouffi

That's kind of interesting. The version on that CD isn't credited to Hoffman. Instead, it lists it as "Originally Dunhill 4138." Also stereo.

I also received my CD from Real Gone the other day. the difference between these two is like day and night. I've done some looking into my collection for the
album version as well. I suppose that is what I remember the best as neither of these two end in the manner I'm familiar with. Had I not been reading here,
I probably wouldn't have given these difference very much thought.

Yes Dave, Steve Hoffman was the
compilation producer on the first ten
volumes. The next ten were lackluster
(uncredited); Steve had left MCA by then.

So, Mr. Hoffman was involved in that series? I have that on CD and Vinyl, but have never really listened to it in detail. (Yeah, I seem to waste a lot of shelf space.)
I'm pretty sure I'll be able to pick up on that missing overdub, if I listen closely. Thanks for the info Andy.]]> Sat, 24 Jul 2021 15:52:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8376&PID=58719&title=steppenwolf-the-abc-dunhill-singles-cd#58719
