#Top 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
Background
The album was released on August 5th, 1967 and one month later it was released in stereo. The album's title comes from the title of the seventh chapter of Kenneth Grahame's 'The Wind in the Willows'!
The mono mixes of each track were done at seperate sessions, as it was the main format. The whole stereo album mix was a one day thing, so this really is the definitive version of this classic album with significant differences to the stereo.
Subtle changes in effect abound, moment to moment gradations that can alter the flow of an entire track. For example, Syd Barrett's whoops and shouts on 'Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk' are simply dripping with delay and the environment constantly morphs, unlike the stereo version which is 'fixed'.
The coda of 'Flaming' is shorter than on the stereo version, as is 'The Gnome'. There's a whole layer of organ missing on the stereo mix at the start of 'Interstellar Overdrive' with a bongo fade-out and seriously different parts in 'Pow R Toch H'.
As the engineer said many years later "The omission of things in the stereo mixes was really just because of the time - or lack of it - spent over these"
Mono was the de-facto standard and the stereo mix, like 'Sgt Pepper', was pretty much cobbled together as an afterthought.
Condition
The Disc :-
The labels are the blue and black Columbia design with "The Gramophone Co Ltd" and "Sold In UK Subject To" text, with no 'KT' tax code.
The matrix numbers are :
XAX 3419-2 On Side One
XAX 3420-1 On Side Two
Vinyl :-
The vinyl plays superbly & grades VG+/EX- with some faint cosmetic signs of play in the past not interfering with playback in the present on its intended mono setting.
The Sleeve :-
The sleeve remains in nice condition with undamaged edges, little sign of shelfwear and secure undamaged flipbacks.
The back cover does not have the later 'File Under Popular: Pop Groups' text. The Ernest J. Day & Co. sleeve is dated 6709, just creeping into the period of the first release of the stereo version.
A very agreeable VG+/EX- copy of this rare mono issue at a competitive price.
