The last of the Rolling Stone's LPs to be released with a dedicated mono version. The LP was released only in the UK and features a great, different mix of 'Sympathy For The Devil'. The rest of the album is allegedly just a fold-down from the stereo masters but for my ears, it sounds like there is a heavier bass and less guitar throughout and seems more 'solid'. It's great pumping out of big floor-standers :P Certainly the 'Sympathy' mix is very different indeed and it's got a driving rhythm and force that you just don't get with the stereo version. Worth it for that alone I'd say! And just as London and several English towns are being looted by rioters, what better song to retort with but 'Street Fighting Man' which was about genuine revolutionary demonstrations. Right on man.

I'm looking for Let it Bleed MONO first version.
@yerbas07: Re: Let It Bleed - mono. You can simply push the 'mono' button on the stereo version because it is just a fold-down from the stereo tapes... nothing different about it. E.
Maybe the best LP they ever made.
I have a nice digital but not PS3 (Yet) rip of the SACD of several mixes of Sympathy.
I made a transfer of it to DVD-A.
If wanted, I could up it to RS, if any one wants to post it?

"Let's try and establish this for once and for all.
Facts: Sympathy for the devil is the only track that has hearable differences w/ the stereo.
It runs in the correct speed (unlike the rest of the mono album minus PS and all the pre-2002 STEREO versions).
The reason this one track cannot be a folddown is because the piano disappears when folded to mono (a result of phase cancellation).
I just did an A/B between the UK mono with the original UK stereo, both played with the mono button ON.
I briefly compared every track. And I could not detect ONE single difference in the mix.
I dare you to come up with notable mixing differences between the two that would prove me wrong. Please!"
@Pat Dude its like Ozzy typing... whaaat?
i had the mono version but...was brazilian??? please RSVP(répondez s`il vous plait)
someone agree or deny? i think that i had the brazilian mono version with same cover a looong time ago but my memory fail now...and always...lol!
Sympathy For The Devil with correct speed in mono. :-)
magnifics basses, i have 2 big posters with the inside covers(*), the 'invitation' white front cover is my preference too.
*(i have a photo where all are in differents positions(keith playing acoustic guitar,others in differents positions too) in the 'banquet'.
i got from a friend that have an old french magazine from long time ago, is 'another' photo that was not used in the album, have magnific colors that seems...errr... 'marijuana effect')
cheers and thank you very much Euripides, cool sound! Big gold medall for you. :-)
And since you requested something this time, here's an improved version of the Beggars Banquet cover:

thanks
@jorgeluiz if you have access to a scanner then I'm sure we'd all love to see the photos you mentioned :D
I had a burglary a couple of years ago where all my image files were stolen (and everything else really), though I had all my audio files on DVD data discs which didn't appear to interest the thieves so at least I have the sound (that would have been a near suicide magnitude event!) so I'm posting old rips because they are easily good enough but in a lot of cases I don't have artwork for them so have to scrounge around - but then beggar's can't be choosers! Cheers, E.
following 'The Boring Gnomes', here the different BB inside cover in 2 parts, please open the direct links:

cheers for all. :-)
differences? I'll give you differences. This should settle it.
1) Micks 'Yow's on the intro are echoed on stereo but have just a little reverb on mono.
2) There are more elements to the 'little yelps' around the 18 second mark in stereo, absent in mono.
3) The general mix of the percussion throughout the mono version is at a higher level.
4) Mono is longer: accounting for the speed error it has about 12 more seconds on the tail-out.
5) Stereo version fades out, mono ending is faded but cuts rather abruptly.
6) The tail-out again: Vocals are 'echoed' on stereo again not reverbed. There are all sorts of yelps and vocal stuff in the background on stereo, not on mono.
7) It sounds more chunky (OK I made that bit up)
There may be more that I missed but that'll do for me. E.
BB is one of the best albums ever for me and i heard every day all day long for months when i was young feeling like hipnotised more than thousands times and i still hear.
yesterday i was afraid to wrote the differences that i could hear in the first moment.
YES, you're completely right in your list of differences!!!
in the first 'Yow' i could hear clearly the difference between reverber/echo from Mono to stereo. ;-)
was not needed to play the stereo because this album play in my brain(no need needles..lol), i know every note and detail.
in 60's i buy 3 albums, one after another ...hearing too much was needed to buy another because was played too much and got noises...etc.
BB is part of my good feelings because..had too much 'sweet leaf' and smoke in my brain in 60's, you know.
my curiosity: i always think what is the noise in the high end of 'Prodigal Son',
seems that something fall in the floor...i can't explain...you know what is?
cheers for yours good ears!
I had a bit of fun joining them together so if anybody would like a copy it's at http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/5755/altbbinnercomplete.jpg
Having now listened to this rip and briefly compared with Kel's fine stereo rip and a stereo SACD version too, to my ears this is a very different listening experience. All these tracks are slower (as mentioned in the SH thread) except for the genuinely mono A1 which is I find to be actually slightly faster than the stereo.
Refering to the SH thread... and particularly to "In order to cut in mono, please replace stereo version of Sympathy For The Devil with mono version at end of reel, and then sum entire album to mono"
If I understand that right then all tracks except A1 are actually the original stereo tracks folded to mono. In that case can someone please explain to my confused brain why those mono tracks (preserved in this rip) are slower (and not uniformly slower either by the way) than they were before they were folded. Thanks.
@ jorgeluiz: thanks for the color pictures, I hadn't seen those before (aren't they a bit too colorful for a Beggars Banquet? - good decision to use only the b/w pictures with some colored faces for the original album art then, wasn't it? - much more in tune with the overall feel of the album, I think...)
@ The Purple Parrot: and thanks for joining them so fabulously...
me and my fertile imagination: in the original picture with some colored faces the apple is colored too and for me is extremely relevant and deserve deep atention.
don't you think that seems(or was) a joke from Stones to Beatles when Keith with a knife is putting the green apple in the mouth of Mick?
don't remember the 'apple'(Beatles records)? for me...yes, it's a joke!
@ The Purple Parrot: very cool job ...i could not put the entire picture in the scanner and join, i'm a horrible scanner user.lol
@ Euripides: yes, as retired technician i agree and you can be sure: using different tape machines change the speed!
one day i will tell the story of my second brazilian 'white album' LP(Beatles) with full problems in speed...
cheers!
And of course, you're right about the apple and the Beatles connection, that's a pretty obvious one, especially if you take into account that the Beatles released their first full album under the new Apple logo just a few days prior to Beggars Banquet - probably some kind of 'good luck for your future endeavours and don't let anyone bite your apple/take your money' joke...
@ Euripides: I don't know too much about the speed issues, but your explanation sounds quite convincing. I'm not really that detail-obsessed, especially if you only hear a difference when you closely compare one version to the other. To me, most versions of this album are quite wonderful, and this mono vinyl is certainly an extra special treat...
@ all: One more thing for all those interested in different versions or rare finds: the 8 track of "Some Girls" had different mixes/versions of some songs on it and someone was kind enough to uploaded it here: http://www.iorr.org/talk/read.php?2,606044,606044#msg-606044 (the flac versions seem to be down, but the mp3 links are still working)...
Anyway it doesn't really matter lol - as The Boring Gnomes infers, this version is a delight in its individuality.
Thanks again for sharing it with us!!
