Paul Revere & The Raiders - The Spirit Of 67 [Original 360 Sound Mono Vinyl] 24bit 96kHz

I have two mono copies of this album. Both have the same matrix number. One is stamped and the other isn't. The one that isn't also says "360 Sound" the other doesn't. This is the "360 Sound" pressing.

I've been wanting to give the SAS stylus a torture test on a mono source to check it for imaging and sibilance. I think it acquitted itself quite well. Nothing in life (or vinyl) is perfect but I couldn't ask for anything more given the condition of this wax. The fold down was quieter but boring as hell so I decided to release the "dirty" copy.

I saw the Raiders live around 1965 in Detroit Michigan and they kicked the crap out of The Beach Boys. I don't know if they play their own instruments on this album but they did in person like dogs bite mailmen.

Note: I got sick Christmas day and my right ear is still plugged up. I had to balance these channels by looking at the waveform and meters. My headphone amp has a mono switch and the image is stable when I use it but if this skews badly to one channel or another please let me know and I'll re-balance it when my head clears. Thanks!

One of the most popular and entertaining groups of the 1960s, Paul Revere & the Raiders enjoyed seven years of serious chart action, and during their three biggest years (1966-1969), sold records in numbers second only to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. And their hits "Steppin' Out," "Just Like Me," "Hungry," "Him or Me-What's It Gonna Be," and "Kicks," in particular, are now seen by compilers as bold, unpretentious pieces of '60s rock & roll with a defiant, punk edge. - all music.

tubert says: The Raiders were kicking ass in 1966 releasing three solid hit-packed rockin' albums. Just Like Us! Midnight Ride and The Spirit of '67. In time I'll be ripping all three. Some in stereo, some in mono and some in both. Enjoy!
