Jackie DeShannon - What The World Needs

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The song "What The World Needs Now Is Love" by Jackie DeShannon is currently listed in the database as being in mono on the Time Life disc "Classic Rock: 1965 Shakin' All Over."  This is actually not true, though.  There has been a bunch of stereo reverb added to the track.

What's interesting is that this does sound like a dedicated mono mix and not just a fold-down of the stereo mix.  It's too bad that someone tried to make it sound stereo by adding all the extra reverb.

	The mono version is available on the Ace UK Jackie DeShannon "Complete Liberty and Imperial Singles Vol. 2" CD. http://www.amazon.com/Come-Get-Me-Complete-Imperial/dp/B004F EDV7Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1335763453&sr=1-1

	This song was re-issued in early 1970 as a tie-in to its appearance in the movie "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice" (I saw the movie, but don't remember the song being in it, however the label claims it was). The stereo side of my promo single is (E) much as aaronk described it. This may have been a promo-only release though...it has a non-standard Imperial catalog # (SP-23 A/B). It also has a red label, unlike standard Imperial promos of that era. Edited by Hykker

	Wondering when this song first appeared in true stereo. It was on the LP of the day, "this is Jackie DeShannon", but stereo content unknown. It was also issued on numerous compilation LPs over the years up to the CD era.

	I have this song on an lp I came across in my collection tonight. Various artists lp Liberty LST-7500 The Original Golden Greats. The opening of the song is in the right channel, but as soon as Jackie starts singing, the entire track is in the left channel with reverb in the right channel. Terrible sounding rechannel job.
	Live in stereo.

	Coincidentally, I too have a copy of the "Original Golden Greats" LP mentioned. Same matrix number and my copy also has a badly re-channeled version of the song.
