To Mono or not to Mono




Let's put Quick One into perspective please.  Just like the Beatle
albums through this point, the original master was recorded in mono.
AFTER the fact they reprocessed or remixed for stereo. The same
applies with the Who.  When Jon Astley found the original master,
this is how it appeared.  You can tell on the AQO LP that it's not
true stereo for the most part anyway.  However it did have it's
advantages where "Boorrris the SPIDDER" was more prominent in the
right channel than on other releases.  This is probably why the
"ooooo" in the opening to AQOWHA are more subdued than what we're
used to hearing.  

In the end, this is A Quick One in it's most purist form without
any channel manipulation.  BTW this makes a great car CD, but Bucket
T is for home use only.
