my commercial 45 for the peter and gordon song "knight in
rusty armour" issued as capitol 5808 states the run time as 2:36 and sounds identical to the cema "10 best" cd version....but the db states there is a 45/lp difference....i just listened to them side by side with headphones and they sound the same....can someone tell me where the differences are, if any?....the only difference i hear is that the 45 is mono and the cd version stereo... |

Single tracked vocal on the first verse anyway on the 45 version and double tracked vocals on the LP version.

Ed this is not a mono vs stereo issue it is a single track vs double track vocal issue.

I have the stereo track on the vinyl various artists double-LP Super Oldies, Vol. 3 (Capitol STBB-2910) and it sounds exactly as Pat describes on the opening verse. Gordon's vocal is double-tracked with added reverb. The giveaway that the vocals really are double-tracked (and not duophonically "enhanced") comes on the final word at the end of the line, "...as a knight should be." "Be" is sustained on one of the vocal tracks, but is sung in a quick in-and-out manner on the other, leaving the sustained one all by itself to finish out the measure.
The mono track on Rhino's History Of British Rock Vol. 8 CD has the entire first verse sung drier in one sole track vocal. (Just for the record, it's the one with the shorter "be.") Edited by Yah Shure |
