re: Orpheus' first LP
All commercial copies I've seen are always in stereo. Did a mono mix of this LP ever hit the stores? If so, was it a dedicated mix or just a fold-down? Thanks!

We are currently restoring our archives and have plans to release a multi-volume set, which may include vinyl. Stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Irwin , I take it you haven't been replacing all the songs on music factory or have you? I've listened to past shows thinking it was all source

Bruce Arnold-Orpheus:

Hi Mike, I think a mono issue was put out as well. I have seen a UK release in mono. Lorber re-released some of the album in mono via iTunes, etc. We do not recommend these digital downloads as they do not match the original mix. In most cases, the mix is muddy and Lorber added an echo effects for some reason. All of the reissues he has released on his Iris Music Group label are sonically substandard. We discussed this during an interview with Steve Stanley, host of The Now Sounds on Luxuria Radio. You can find that interview on YouTube.

@Irwin, do you have the original air date for TMF episode 15?

Air date would likely have varied with locale since this was syndicated, but Irwin might have notes that accompanied the original to indicate its recording date.

rrg: There have been three Orpheus CD compilations: “The Best of Orpheus” on Ace Records in 1995, “The Complete Orpheus” on Akarma in 2000 and “The Very Best of Orpheus” on Varese Sarabande in 2001. The Ace compilation comes from a 16bit remaster. It’s includes some unreleased tracks including one that takes clips from the interview you just heard. The Akarma release is all four albums plus some unreleased tracks using the same digital remasters as the Ace. The Varese release was done in 24bit by Dan Hersch of DigiPrep and is sonically the best of the three - although it only has 16 tracks. All of the digital downloads are from the 16bit muddy remasters and have been altered by Lorber.

Hi Yez, No. All we know is it was recorded on January 5th, 1968. I don't remember where it was recorded. Paul Payton from WBRU was in the studio (Wilson thanks him at the end) but he doesn't recall where it was recorded either. From some reports, it may have aired on WNEW in NYC (maybe live). It was carried on numerous college radio stations nationally.

I envy music's universality and that it's played by groups of people.
No one ever says musicians are working at whichever place together. It's a language, musicians converse with it. They play.
Visual language can be discussed afterwards, in verbal shorthand.
Both pursuits labor intensive but visual is a mostly /always?, solitary pursuit.
