Mixology: The Mono/Stereo Mix Differences Podcast

The Complete Release Guide to The Zombies '69 & '70 Decca Stereo Mixes


Listen Later

Hello Friends! We've got something a little different on the show today. A few months ago I became very curious about a few stereo mixes I had used in my episode on the Zombies LP Begin Here, where a few tracks had turned up in poor SQ. At that point I assumed this was likely baked into the mix, until I put out a call regarding The World of The Zombies featuring these tracks, only to discover that I was in fact, incorrect. This sent me on a whirlwind of a journey picking up copies of The Zombies, Early Days, The World of The Zombies, Rock Roots & The Collection, in addition to my CD copies of The Singles A's and B's and Greatest Hits (on Audio Fidelity), but came away with only more questions than answers.

Why are some tracks mono on some compilations and stereo on others?

Why do some discs have studio chatter and some don't?

Where did all these later stereo mixes come from that aren't on the '69 & '70 discs?

And what is the best source for all of these now they are out of print?

After listening to many Zombies LPs and CDs later, as well as a few more, I feel I can confidently give you the definitive answer to all of these questions, as well as the best guide on where to find them, as despite later CD issues, many of these are best heard by far on those original LPs.

And for listeners over on the Patreon, I have included my working notes below for each tracklist for this episode.

Huge thanks too to Ethan Alexanian for this episode's flatlay artwork.

Happy Listening,

Frederick
