 Topic: Grass Roots The Complete Original DunhillPosted: 21 January 2014 at 2:31pm |

Real Gone is promoting a new Grass Roots set with 23 Chart
Hits from the Dunhill/ABC Label. All Singles Presented in Glorious, Original Mono, Most for the First Time. Fantastic-Sounding Set Is the Result of a Worldwide Search for the Best Sources. If it's true, this could be big and maybe hope that more Dunhill singles masters can be found. Edited by bitman |

I didn't realize the "uncensored" version of Let's Live
For Today had made it onto a mono 45 on Dunhill (or maybe it didn't and they're including it so the set has the more familiar version people remember from oldies radio). I wonder why ALL of the songs are mono, when some of the later singles had mono/stereo DJ pressings where the stereo sides did match the mono sides (yet were still different from the stereo album versions -- I believe I read about one or two songs like that on this very board, anyway). |

Live in stereo.

You have to own the DJ copy of "Two Divided By Love" to get the longer fade in stereo, and you need the DJ copy of "Glory Bound" to get the re-done drum track in stereo. The public was offered mono versions of these songs on 45 but only radio got these differences in stereo.

In another thread, Pat mentions that there are two commercial pressings--one with the uncensored lyrics. The uncensored 45 can be seen and heard on this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=121yiKLqn1M |

One posssible explanation for the later singles also being in mono is that those were the only tapes they were able to find. Considering the infamous Dunhill master tape purge I'm extremely stoked that they found these.

Bill is correct that all of the songs on the CD were issued only in mono
on the commercial 45s. |

I received my copy of this new release today. I've been
listening to it and so far I must say the sound is very good. I believe we have Aaron K. to thank as he was a part of this project for Real Gone Music. Perhaps Aaron can share some info on the tapes and/or other sources used (some of us may want to know where the tapes were found and/or any other interesting tidbits). |

Thank you for the compliments, Santi. Yes, I did have a big part in
getting this CD released, and it's the first officially released disc that has my name in the credits as "mastered by." There was one other forum member who had a hand in it, too, and I thank him for his contributions. If you have been looking for the Grass Roots mono singles on CD, I highly encourage you to pick it up. The sound quality is excellent, as Santi notes, and they are ALL the correct mono mixes found on the US stock 45s. |

Aaron, congrats to you and the "other" member on the Grass Roots CD! They couldn't have found anyone better suited for the job. Looking forward to hearing the correct mono mixes. Thanks also go out to my buddy Ed Osborne for his tireless work over the years on these wonderful compilations.

I meant to post as well, but I've been swamped with work. Very impressed with the set! I was expecting a hiss factory like the Sundazed Mamas & Papas mono sets, but was pleasantly surprised. So, Aaron, any inside info about any other Dunhill single masters being unearthed? Or are you not at liberty to say?
