Mixology: The Mono/Stereo Mix Differences Podcast

Butterfly by The Hollies

Hello Friends! In 1967 The Hollies released their last LP with Graham Nash, Butterfly, a glorious exploration of pop-psych, and luckily for us, they got the mixes all mixed up around the globe! From the already vastly different UK Mono & Stereo mixes, via the German Stereo mix, to the US only Dear Eloise/King Midas In Reverse Mono & Stereo mixes, along with an Aussie B-Side, and even two non-LP cuts, this is by far our deepest dive yet. 
Happy Listening, 
Frederick

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles

Hello Friends, and welcome to the main event! The first album that really made me take notice of mono/stereo mixing, and one of the most successful LPs of all time, The Beatles' 8th is undoubtedly a feat in studio engineering. To most, a fascinating collection of songs and sounds. To us, a greater window for differences to arise between the mixes of the album, and indeed there are plenty! So don your moustache and badges, choose your outfit, and get ready for our deepest dive yet. 
Happy Listening,

Shut Down Volume 2 by The Beach Boys

Hello Friends! In our first look at The Beach Boys on Mixology, we're taking a dive into the group's 5th studio album, Shut Down Volume 2, originally released on Capitol in March 1964 in the US, and July 1964 in the UK. Released in both dedicated mono and stereo mixes upon release, 3 of the tracks also received alternative mixes and edits for release on 45. So let's take a dive in to one of the more unusual - yet vitally important - early LPs in The Beach Boys' canon. 
Happy Listening,

More of The Monkees by The Monkees

Hello Friends, today we're going to be taking a look at The Monkees' second LP, and their first of 3 releases in 1967, More of The Monkees. Recorded across many different studios by no less than 7 producers, this hodge-podge of an album has plenty of mix differences across its mono, stereo, and mono TV mix counterparts from 1966/67! So don your wool hat, grab a fistful of maracas, and let us explore every nook and cranny of this pop classic. 
Happy Listening,

Something Else by The Kinks

Hello Friends, and welcome back to Mixology! In this month's episode, we're going to be taking a look at The Kinks album 'Something Else by The Kinks', released September 15th 1967 in the UK, in two very contrasting Mono and Stereo mixes! Featuring mixes from both the original 1967 releases, a trusty German stereo mix of album highlight 'Afternoon Tea', and a bonus session outtake, there's plenty here to sink our teeth in to.
