BEST Mix of Forever Changes....??!! Is this it?!

LOVE was another great band from the 60's and of course VERY Doors related.
I think it would be great to have this special topic about the band who was such a big example for The Doors.

BEST Mix of Forever Changes....??!! Is this it?!

Post by jamestkirk »

I had a friend who always said that he just wished the producer had just done a better mix on Forever Changes--we all know the limitations they faced, now...he was always wanting to turn up the various channels to bring out the drums, or bass or whatever...and couldn't get there. We know Michael felt the same way!

There have been various releases on vinyl, cassette & CD, but which is the best in your opinion...a comparison so to speak.

I think every one wants the intro for "alone Again Or" to be louder...on first listen.

I was recently listening to a youtube full album play and with my SONY headphones this is as good a mix as I've heard. I wonder which release this was?

I hear a rap (for the first time) at the end of "A House Is Not A Motel" that I swear I've never heard with such clarity and really not at all mostly, as it's so low on my own CDs and LPs.


Play this youtube -FULL ALBUM PLAY- you can go to the second track at 3:17 ...listen to the end and tell me what you think.
Have I just missed this or is this a great mix with the bass and drums and all really up front like no other?

Hey, Ed

...is this way up front in just my ears? This seems a very good mix.
