DR MATTH - I have the Golden Boy LP - had it for YEARS - but have never listened to all of it. If I can find someone who can put it on cassette for you, I will make you a copy. I will keep you posted.
I can put it on cassette...and CD.
DR MATTH - it IS the reissue. Sammy sounds smooth and mellow...and it is on the Capital Orange label....I think the original would be on the Capital black label with the rainbow rings like the old Beatles albums...and the fine print on the back says....manufactured by Columbia House under license from Capital Records...says the same thing on the label. I think I have a Record Club edition of the album!
I suspected as much as soon as you mentioned the drawing of his face. Thanks just the same. I'll hear those tracks one of these days.
I just checked my copy and I have the VAS-2124 (mono) edition, as well as the BK re-issue. There is a noticeable difference between the two versions. Of course, the album being in mono and having lots of pops throughout the whole thing doesn't help.
And either my record changes speed by itself or some songs are in different keys. "Night Song" is a half-step lower on the Cd. On the next song, "Everything's Great", both versions are in the same key. Hmm....
On the third song, "Gimme Some," the album is in a lower key as well as "Stick Around," but that sounds like it's a
third lower. What gives?
