THE GOLDEN EARRING Eight Miles High (Rare original 1969 US
5-track white title label promotional MONO vinyl LP with no 'SD' prefix
to the catalogue numberon the label, custom stickered 'DJ Copy
Monaural' picture sleeve. What makes this so unusual is that unlike
most mono promos, this isn't simply a left channel blended with the
right channel mono but has actually been specifically remastered
using the CSG process, exclusively for AM radio stations. This was
done because the lead vocals & instruments would often sound too
loud when heard played back in mono. When the left and right
channels were simply added together, the lead vocals or instruments,
being equal in level on both channels, would add up to be three
decibels louder than the mix in Stereo, so the CSG [Compatible
Stereo Generator] process was used to neutralise this effect & create
a more natural sounding mono from an original stereo master. This
fantastic copy shows just a little edge scuffing to the sleeve & the vinyl
is immaculate!)
