Wire - Red Barked Tree

I'm assuming it's a MOV pressing as opposed to Sundazed Dermot? In any case I hope you enjoy it.

Sorry Dave I'm stuck here trying to get images of the other three Lps I got but the copying lark ain't working :) Well at least I got Dylan! Anyway to answer your question Dave, indeed it is a MOV Mono version. I gave it a quick spin and my immediate impression is the Mono version loses the 'wiry sound' of my original copy of the stereo version. Dylan's voice is not as prominent as in the stereo version. Having said all that, I love the much more 'easy' on the ear Mono version! Thanks for the tip Dave, I'm really glad I bought it! Now let me try this copying lark again...

hmm that's an interesting observation Dermot. My own finding was that Dylan's voice was slightly more prominent in the MOV mono version when compared to the Sundazed. But it wasnt a direct comparison between the same album, rather it was a comparison between the MOV and Sundazed versions of different albums. So probably not really a valid comparison on my side. I dont have any stereo versions apart from the CD.

Dave,

Will be sending you a pm shortly about an artist you most definitely should check out....
