After that I treated them to a 2-hour discourse on vinyl mastering which they all listened to in rapt fascination, best night of their lives

I love well made compilations like that. Will be on the lookout.

is there DVD material? i just have the 45s.
the booklet that comes with it is sadly pretty useless. written like a beginner's potted history. surely anyone enough of a lunatic to buy this is Heavily Into Creedence and wants session notes, oral histories etc

FWIW, Russ Gary (the engineer) once posted on another forum that the Green River singles are true dedicated mixes. The mono single mix for the song "Green River" alone really is amazing. Everything else might be folds though.

what are folds?
― Humanitarian Pause (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 20 January 2024 09:46 (four months ago) link
Mono mixes that are electronically converted from the original stereo, rather than being mixed specifically to mono, or "dedicated" to mono.

There used to be a button on stereo systems that would do this.

It was right next to the Loudness button iirc

My Bluetooth headphones sometimes accidentally do those folds sometimes. Really a trip when listening to Olivia Rodrigo or something else clearly not mixed that way.

Bluetooth sometimes seems to have a mind of its own imho.

In my experience

This compilation is on Tidal, and yeah, it sounds great. Might have to pick up a physical copy for the living room.
