A note: I carefully compared the Time-Life Sounds Of The
Seventies and my original GRC 45 singles. They are
indeed different. The multicolor label (North American
Musical Industries) pressed Capitol looking 45 is the
best sounding of the two I own. My other styrene 45 on
GRC sounds like the tape has an azimuth error and sounds
muddy. The CD sounds like my good 45. The pressings on
the GRC 45 are variable sounding depending on pressing
plant. The vinyl copy mastered by Masterfonics is my go
to. ]]> Sat, 18 Jul 2015 06:03:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=43989&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#43989 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=43913&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#43913 Author: eriejwg

Does anyone that owns the 45 and the Time-Life disc care
to chime in? The 45 really is dull compared to the CD
versions.

I have a 192 bitrate 45 dub. I also have the versions
from both the Time-Life and The Rhino discs. I think all
CD appearances are from the same source and are EQ'd
differently than the 45.

Kent says the Sounds Of The Seventies is the best
sounding of all the CD sources for the remix that
matches the 45, but to my ears, the 45 sounds different.

I'll have to find a clean 45 source and compare again.]]> Wed, 24 Jun 2015 17:06:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=43912&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#43912 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=43911&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#43911 Author: edtop40

so.....did we get to the bottom of this as far as if any of
the cd's in the db have the correct 45 version or
not......the db does not have qualifier on the cds that
contain the song....]]> Wed, 24 Jun 2015 16:34:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=43911&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#43911 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=17091&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#17091 Author: Yah Shure

Paul, I presume you mean stereo cartridge when you refer to a "stereo turntable."

Are you referring to Atlantic's "CSG Processed Mono Master" 45s when you say "mono singles pressed in compatible stereo?" CSG mono seemed to be even more of a "snake oil" ploy than CSG stereo, and we all know how well that went over.]]> Sat, 21 Jun 2008 17:04:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=17091&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#17091 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=17087&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#17087 Author: TallPaulInKy

Yah Shure added: "I seem to recall seeing "compatible stereo" moreso on the Warner/Curb 45s than the non-Curb Warner labels. My promo copy of "You Light Up My Life" also says "compatible stereo."

It could be because these are all promo copies you are mentioning. Believe it or not AM was not dead in 1977 and they were still mono stations some even still used mono turntables. I don't know if the stock copies were mono or compatible stereo. But compatible was generally a disk cutting process that did not effect the master tape. I have some early 70s Atlantic mono singles pressed in compatible stereo so they would track better on stereo turntables.]]> Sat, 21 Jun 2008 13:59:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=17087&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#17087 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=16563&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#16563 Author: KentT

The best sounding version of "Chevy Van" on CD is the Time-Life Sounds Of The Seventies version. It is the Milan Bogdan remix single version. ]]> Sun, 25 May 2008 13:23:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=16563&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#16563 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=15773&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#15773 Author: jrjr

the teenage hijinks movie "The Van" was released in 1977, the story loosely based on "Chevy Van"... could this be the reason for the Warner's re-release, a la "ode to billie joe"???]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 10:10:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=15773&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#15773 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=15765&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#15765 Author: Brian W.

So do all CDs have this Dolby encoding problem, or just the Rhino CD?]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 02:32:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=15765&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#15765 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=15752&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#15752 Author: The Hits Man

I can buy the Dolby theory. All I have to do is stick with the vinyl dub for the true sound.]]> Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:45:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=965&PID=15752&title=sammy-johns-chevy-van#15752
