Leon Russell-Delta Lady CD on Del Rack

No, although I didn't see anything on the website.

Of course, I'd really like to find a copy of the gold LR as well.

Does anyone know what bonus tracks were on the silver CD? I guess my question would be - is the silver CD necessary if you have the Capitol CD?

 

Luke,glad to have an answer for the answer man.Masters Of War(Old Masters)is the bonus track on the silver CD.By the way,Your and Dave's Rolling Stones FAQ is outstanding.

 

Wow. Arg, too many versions...

!!!

 

There are two copies of the Del-Rack issue available on GEMM. Might be worth checking out.

 

Does "Shoot Out On the Plantation (solo version)" ring a bell?

 

I guess the REAL question is, is there anything on the silver CD that's not on the gold and Capitol CDs? Of course, finding a gold copy (for a decent price) might be a problem.

BTW, thanks for the GEMM tip...looks like I should have a copy of Delta Lady on the way.

 

Sure does. I have the 2-bonus track silver disc right in front of me. Shoot Out is in mono here, whereas on the gold disc it's in stereo, so the 1st silver disc IS unique. On the inner ring you can see the mastering date of 06/30/89H. The gold disc was mastered in 11/93. God, I love this album!!!

 

That's what you said in the CD Watchdog in ICE. So why did he like it for the gold CD? Because it was now in stereo???

 

What/Where is GEMM?

 

GEMM is, well . . . check it out here:

Well, I ordered a copy and the vendor canceled my order. Said it was not in stock anymore. Bummer

 

John, what are the differences between the regular and gold CD versions?

In case you've all missed it, I found the Del Rack and CD and posted a review:

Are you sure that both silver issues use this "alternate" mix? I know the Capitol issue of the first album (presumably a clone of the second issue DCC silver) and the Capitol 2 CD best-of (not credited to you) both use the same mix. I haven't heard an LP issue in awhile (one of the LPs *without* Old Masters), but I don't recall anything being different.

You mean the "first Glyn Johns mix" and the "rough mix" are different? The Capitol (again, with liners copied from the DCC) just lists Glyn Johns for mixing and recording. Of course, it doesn't list any other engineers for recording, which is clearly a mistake, so...

I guess I was hoping for a bit of a description of what was different between the mixes...

Question for Steve or anyone else who knows (again): do the first issue silver and second issue silver versions of the first album use the same mixes/masters? And is the Capitol CD indeed a clone of the *second* issue silver (if it makes a difference)?

 

I have both the the gold CD and first silver CD . I noticed the difference between the two the first time I put the silver CD on to listen. Much more relaxed sounding. I just wish you had used the mixes on the silver CD on the gold CD instead of the final LP mix.

Question about the silver CD. The back says "The original Shelter Records master mixes were used in the making of this compact disc." Any idea why it would say that?

Also, on the subject of original mixes, what about the gold CD of Stage Fright?

 

Steve,

I picked up another variant of "Leon Russell" today. It is the second pressing of the silver "Leon Russell" sans "Shootout", but it was pressed in Japan by Polystar in 1990. Are there any more DCC titles that were licensed for Japan?

 

I will have to keep an eye out for them....
