MCA LP compilation 'Vintage Music Vol.10'.

"Let's Live For Today" was remixed (and
mastered) by Steve Hoffman.

This may sound like an odd question, but there were two types of CDs released in the "Vintage Music" catalog. The first, (I suppose), was a single disc per issue. And another was
taking two issues together on a single CD. Were the mastering credits the same for both? I don't have the one issue per CD versions, But I do have the vinyl versions.

Not an odd question at all.

As far as I know, the individual releases (10 tracks per disc) had the same mastering as the paired-up releases (20 tracks per disc). I think I verified this myself a long time ago with Vol. 8.

Steve Hoffman mastered the first ten volumes. No mastering credit given to the second ten volumes.

I still haven't figured out why they were released as both individual and paired-up configurations. Different price points, so that it was less expensive to buy a 20-track disc than two 10-track discs? Not sure.
There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

Here's how my memory goes...

Vintage Music volumes 1 thru 10 (ten tracks a piece) were
released as single budget-priced albums and cassettes in
1986.

The dubs were a revelation to my ears. I quickly bought
all ten volumes.

Later on (possibly the same year) 5 regularly-priced CDs
came out with 2 LPs worth of tracks (20 cuts a piece)
making them a must-purchase as by that time I owned a CD
player.

This is where my memory gets extra fuzzy: a few years
later the first 5 CDs were split into 10 budget-priced
CDs (like the original LPs/cassettes) under possibly a
different (albeit similar) title. No need for me to buy
them as I liked the 20 track CDs...

Experts out there please correct me where I'm wrong!

has a wider soundstage with most of the instrumentation
hard panned to the left channel and the lead vocals going
right to left on the first verse. The other stereo mix I
have on Madacy's Various Artists Spirit of The 60s disc
(which is a single-disc version of Cornerstone's 2-CD set
of the same name). This mix has most of the
instrumentation and lead vocal centered with other stereo
information occurring mostly during the chorus. Where did
this alternate stereo mix originate?


Actually, there's a third stereo mix of this with the lead vocals hard-panned to the right, and background vocals hard panned
to the left. I have this on an Era/K-Tel comp called "Battle Of The Bands-Vol. 2".

Any idea where this mix came from?

Do the lead vocals stay in the in right for the entire
song, or do they drift over to the left right before the
chorus?

My copy of 'Battle Of The Bands Vol. 2' has Grill's lead
vox stay on the left; Entner's countdown on the right.

I, too, would like to find where this mix originated as
this transfer has undecoded Dolby marring the sound quality
and I wouldn't mind having a better-sounding version of
this mix.

My copy of this is buried in the closet and
I can't currently access it, but I believe a
lot of tracks were remixed on this:
