What about the Beatles? That has to take the trophy for worst band
name. A pun that is appalling and pathetic at the same time. At least
those others show some attitude.

I think I was in my twenties before I figured out
it was misspelled - then I got the joke.

I thought that it was sort of cool though. I don't
think it's so bad a name.

On the contrary, I think you are dazzled by the quality of their
musical achievements.

I know I was a wee bairn when they came up with the name, but for that time
I think it was clever enough.

That was actually a misspelling. It was supposed to be "The Beatless."

Well not as bad as all those that copied like Cyrkle, Byrds, Monkees etc.
(not that they were necessarily particularly bad groups, just worse names
than the Beatles)

Ah, someone mentions The Cyrkle!

Bought a Sony (3) CD budget set at a Target store. It included the song, Turn Down Day. I played it, sounded pretty good, but then I suddenly STOPPED the CD player, replayed a portion, something was odd!! I nailed it down to a previously edited drum riff (I call it)[some refer to it as underdubbing - not including what was recorded], that I agree, didn't "fit" well, but when they remixed the session tapes, they (accidentally?) left it in!!

Red Rubber Ball song ends up in usenet (MP3), an odd sounding version. I did my best to boost vocals. I much later BUY the CD it claims it came from (Rockin' '60s), very similar, but vocals are louder!!

Maybe some day you'll learn to listen to music for the sake of the music. It seems that most of your comments here are to point out things that you believe are flaws in the recording or production.

Mike, really, stick to what you do best, and leave me to studio chat and HQ reproduction and research to me. I don't "believe" until I "know".

Now, you remember this song (below). This rendition appeared on an EMI Legendary Masters CD. I'm sure those who were involved bringing it to life wished for stereo. And, to pour salt on a wound, The Exciters (girl group), their (prior) rendition of this song (also on Legendary Masters) surfaced in mono, but others privately offered me a stereo mix. I wonder how all this happens?

Thanks.

Oh, and, peace.

Oh, heck, Hank, that will never happen until YOUR two leaders stop responding, and I do not see that happening any time soon.

But, it was neat to watch you and another here be tagged a "troll".

Ramble on.
