Your condescending tone is uncalled for, incidentally.


Well, you're not getting my (dashingly handsome) facial expressions and pleasant tone of voice on the interwebz.


That's okay, I'm over it.


I'm still coming over for Easter, right?


Yeah, but you're bringing the booze!


It's a deal. Just make sure the CD-Rs of the out-of-print titles are ready for me. wink

O.K., one last beating of this horse. I purchased the Fresh Sounds CD of PRIVATE HELL 36 paired with THE WILD ONE. PRIVATE HELL 36 sounds fuller, but slightly less sharp than on its Fresh Sounds LP counterpart. After listening to the 1954 mono 10" LP and then comparing it to the Fresh Sounds CD, I stand by my original assessment: the "stereo" version on the CD utilizes the original 1954 mono recording, but embellishes it with new stereo percussion overdubs. Listen carefully, especially on headphones, and you'll hear that all the original instruments are in the center (albeit with a slight stereo reverb added), and only the new added instruments are in true stereo.

O.K., I'll shut up now.

And the other big question:

Did the overdubs show up on the mono 12" LP?


That's what I'm wondering too.

No, the new overdubs are NOT used on the 12-inch mono THEMES FOR COPS AND ROBBERS. It uses the mono master from the PRIVATE HELL 36 10-inch LP.

Thanks!

I found a pristine stereo copy of this LP and love it!

Another note...

I just re-watched this film and was sort of startled by its use of music. There is virtually no actual dramatic background scoring, per se. Almost all of Stevens' music is source music, playing on a hi-fi or a car radio, etc. Mind you, it still creates a mood for the scene, acting as source music yet still providing the right dramatic support for the scene. I found it an interesting approach. I also found it interesting and odd that Coral Records put out an LP of this music to such an obscure film, especially considering the fact the music is relegated to the far background in most of the movie. Perhaps they thought it would ride on the coattails of Stevens' score for THE WILD ONE, which was issued on Coral's mother label, Decca Records.

At any rate, it's still a really cool jazz score in either its original mono version or its later, doctored-up stereo version.
