Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] My Mellotron pix...

The one on the left is an 80's German pressing. It's a bit rolled off in the high end. Not as good as the German pressing of Selling England By the Pound. Foxtrot wasn't a great sounding recording. The other pressing is of the new remix and part of the 1970-75 LP box set. I'm not normally a fan of remixes, but these Genesis records really sound good. There's a slight loss of dynamic range, but the new details are really great. "Time Table" has beautiful Mellotron flutes that come in on the 2nd half of the 2nd verse that weren't on the original mix, and it really lifts the track. One of my favorite vinyl reissues in years.

Just curious, but of the albums you have displayed, which one do you like the best?

I haven't posted much about my Mellotron. I bought it in June and happened to snap a couple pix yesterday. Here's #857 (with a Pro-One, Ring Modulator, and a coupe copies of a certain album some of you may be familiar with).
