Studio One LP 198x
JA remixed versions of their 60's and 70's greatest hits. What's new? What is remixed?
Mainly it means here that the drums are a bit dubbed and that the sound quality is improved.
After listening a few tracks I thought some or all tracks might have been re-voiced too.
Cause when I was listening to "Wear You To The Ball" what do I hear John sing :
.....I'm gonna fuck you till it's broad daylight
Be in your best shape tonight
OK, actually that is what I heard, cause I probably just thought about it.
In reality he sings :
.....I'm gonna fun you till it's broad daylight
Be in your best shape tonight.....
Which is something totally different, and more what I expect from John Holt & The Paragons.
After relistening I clearly hear "fun". No fuck at all. That is strange. But for many years I thought that Hugh Mundell was singing in "My Mind" :
...Thinking 'bout my girl who was lesbi and gone
But it appears to be : ....Thinking 'bout my girl who has left me and gone....
It always seemed logical to me that when someone has left you she is gone too, but somehow I managed to keep my own faith that she was a lesbi for years.
