 Topic: New Ronnie Dove CD coming from Real GonePosted: 12 May 2014 at 11:32pm |

Coming July 1st from Real Gone Music:
Ronnie Dove: The Complete Original Chart Hits 1964-1969 1. Say You 2. Right or Wrong 3. Hello Pretty Girl 4. One Kiss for Old Times Sake 5. A Little Bit of Heaven 6. I'll Make All Your Dreams Come True 7. Kiss Away 8. When Liking Turns to Loving 9. Let's Start All Over Again 10. Happy Summer Days 11. I Really Don t Want to Know 12. Cry 13. One More Mountain to Climb 14. My Babe 15. I Want to Love You for What You Are 16. Dancin' Out of My Heart 17. In Some Time 18. Mountain of Love 19. Tomboy 20. What's Wrong with My World 21. I Need You Now 16 of the 21 track are stereo, including most of the top 40 hits. Say You will be at the correct speed, Kiss Away will be the correct 45 version. Here is the blurb from Amazon, who is already taking preorders (though Real Gone will be offering an autographed booklet with, I think, the first 70 or so orders through them): He notched over 20 hits and was a fixture on the charts throughout the mid-60s, but to date Ronnie Dove has not received the definitive retrospective he deserves, as inferior-sounding album reissues and compilations have cluttered up the marketplace. Now, at last, Real Gone is filling a BIG gap in 60s pop collecting with the release of The Complete Original Chart Hits 1964- 1969, a 21-track collection (16 in stereo) that includes every pop hit this Baltimore-based legend had during his sterling career, remastered by Evren Göknar and Marty Wekser at Capitol Mastering Studios mostly from newly available Diamond label tape sources. Joseph Lanza's liner notes include quotes from Ronnie himself as well as never before seen photos and memorabilia from his and co-compiler Tom Diehl's personal collections. By far the most comprehensive and best- sounding Ronnie Dove collection ever compiled, with several tracks appearing on CD in first-time stereo. Edited by TomDiehl1 |

Exciting news, Tom! In addition to getting Ronnie Dove's hits in
hopefully much improved sound quality, I'm looking forward to finally acquiring the hit version of "Kiss Away" on CD. |

Pretty cool! Would've liked all mono, but getting any decent quality on Ronnie Dove will be great...who knows, maybe the singles were fold-downs. Anyway, I'm in!

The Mono's aren't fold downs but these
were recorded in good studios that makes the stereo mixes come alive. Our original idea was to go all mono as we knew where tapes were in the UK but all of the later singles were disc dubs on those tapes. Since we soon uncovered some stereo tape sources elsewhere, we went with as much stereo as we could. By doing this, a handful of these songs make their stereo CD debut. There are some disc dubs where tapes weren't located but with some great people doing the mastering, everything came out sounding great. I'm very pleased with the finished product. |

This sounds like a winner to me. Fills a big gap in the
collection. |

i just acquired this cd and the track 'i'll make all your
dreams come true' sounds like it's also mastered from vinyl.....if you listen with headphones on there is an awful lot of surface noise which is clearly audible at the beginning while the kettle drum is pounding.........can anyone else confirm what i am hearing.... |

Ed, yes a few of the very rare tracks on the set had to be mastered from vinyl. But these are the absolute BEST sources for these tracks they could locate anywhere in the world. The sound in this set blows away ANY previous CD releases which were almost ALL from vinyl, and poor sounding at that. MM
