No, Thank You Richard!! Your work on this collection and the love and care you've put into it is absolutely fabulous!! In this day and age of Brickwalling, compression, excessive noise reduction etc, it's so wonderful and rare to find someone like yourself who actually does the job right. The record...

Richard I've given you a plug over on the Steve Hoffman Forum thread on the "Singles Collection", I'm not sure if it'll help but it's worth a try.

Hi All

Let me be the first to say Thank You & Well Done to Richard for a fabulous Job on the Singles Collection, I'm just listening to the 2nd disc now having already enjoyed Disc 1.

Great Job Richard

Oh by the way - I assume you mean Rubber Soul when you talk about the odd mix (Help! is quite normal) . The remixes of these tracks on the YS Songtrack are far better! I for one would certainly be in favour of modern sounding remixes of all the albums. Richard Hi Richard Yes you're right Help is in...

Richard The last time the dual recording set up was used this way for Nat King Cole from what I can remember without looking it up was 22nd November 1957. If I remember correctly at Capitol the mono mics (8 being the minimum) were connected to 2 mono boards (one being for back Up), with the 3rd boar...

There's nothing wrong with disagreeing Richard we all have different tastes :) I maybe didn't word my initial comments correctly, I know the Sinatra & NKC stuff was recorded direct to 3 track, that's what I meant when describinging how the stereo was recorded meaning each microphone being dedicated ...

Hi Richard Please forgive all my questions, Music is my passion (obbsession) in life and has been since I was 8 years old in 1973, I'm always in a constant search for the next album from whatever genre and I guess I always will be, After I had an accident 11 years ago which meant a fight for my life...

Richard or Michelle When this album is re-released, will it contain the mono version of the album which is far better than the stereo version, I shake my head (Thinking Philistines) when I see folks saying why wasn't this or that released in Stereo when a mono release comes out, don't these people r...

Hi Richard I'll start by saying that most recocrd companies especially the major's are a disgrace, they put out shoddy product at inflated prices, with more often than not terrible mastering that is too loud, compressed & with excessive noise reduction, this is long held view of mine. On reading abo...

I order around 200 or more CD's a year from Amazon & it's resellers and to date I've never had a problem yet, from my point of view it's the most reliable company for such things.

btw, Graham on my SACD player and surround set up ... :!: Yanks with too much money ... :?: Speak as I find, lad. :wink: :lol: (I'm only crawling.Trawl back through my earlier post's and you will confront my Uncle Sam moment. On me like a pack of Coyotes, they were.) :shock: :roll: :lol: Best from ...

I have to say that whilst I admire the work of Steve Hoffman I can't bear to visit his forum as there are far to many people opinionated people who think that every recording should be transfered flat from every tape and that any form of compression is evil and that any body but Mr Hoffman must be ...

Hi Richard Thanks for the detailed info it sounds like you've done a really great job, in a way like the Beatles remasters were treated with love and respect something that unfortunately is missing from many modern day remasters. I realise that Peter Mew and many other engineers only do what the rec...

Hi Don Regarding the SHM format and for that matter gold CD's it's a con in my view, it's just another way of selling more CD's it makes no difference to the sound quality, that's all in the mixing & mastering, at the end of the day it's digital and all just 0's & 1's, SHM, Gold or standard CD's mak...

Go to the main site Graham and you'll find an article called Spotlight on the Making of Complete Singles Collection which answers all you question and more - and gives you a few sneaky peak sound clips as well! http://www.mattmonro.com/Spotlight_singlesr.html Richard Thanks Richard I'm still findin...
