Mono 2023

This album debuts 26 of Tony Bennett’s classic (as well as lesser known) recordings for the first time in STEREO. Originally recorded in 1 channel monaural, they have been given a fresh new sound, rich in detail, with Tony’s voice brought forward so you can hear him more clearly. This epic achievement has been made possible by the development of some breakthrough new audio technology called “DES” (Digitally Extracted Stereo). Engineers can now zero in on the frequencies of various instruments and vocals, isolate them, and then extract this sound data from the original mono masters and mix them like a modern, multi-track recording. The result is an exciting, more lifelike listening experience that’s offered nowhere else!

»Ravenblack« - das sehnsüchtig erwartete 12. Studioalbum der Dark-Rocker markiert einen weiteren Meilenstein in der Bandhistorie.

Released in November 1972, their fourth album was mainly recorded at Strawberry Studios in Stockport with the epic ‘Moonwater’ being recorded with a full orchestra at Abbey Road studios. The record was their final album for EMI’s Harvest label and featured pieces such as ‘Summer Soldier’, ‘One Hundred Thousand Smiles Out’ and ‘Delph Town Morn’. Upon its completion the album release was marked by an appearance by Barclay James Harvest with BJH Symphony Orchestra conducted by Martyn Ford on the BBC Radio One programme In Concert. This highly memorable appearance being the only professional live recording of the band with an orchestra. Aside from premiering new tracks from ‘Baby James Harvest’, the recording also featured classics such as ‘Mockingbird’, ‘Galadriel’, ‘The Poet’, ‘After the Day’ and ‘Dark Now My Sky’.

THIS ALBUM IS THE FIRST TIME THESE 18 SONGS BY PATSY CLINE HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE IN STEREO. Some of Patsy’s best-loved tracks were recorded in 1-channel monaural, even after stereo recording became possible. Strange, but true. However, with this new album, we have taken advantage of some amazing new audio technology called “DES”—for “Digitally Extracted Stereo.” This enables engineers to zero in on the frequencies of various instruments and vocals on the old mono masters, isolate them into separate tracks, and then do a new STEREO mix similar to what is routinely done in multi-track recording today. The improvement in thesound quality is truly amazing!
