The Fold-down Chronicles, Vol. 2 (feat. The Beach Boys, Graham Gouldman, Michael Nesmith)

Hello Friends! This time on show we're finally returning to the Fold-Down Chronicles, looking at a further three LPs originally issued in both mono and stereo, but with mono mixes that don't entirely deserve that title. With this in mind, today we will be covering the following albums:

• The Beach Boys - Beach Boys Concert (1964)

• Graham Gouldman - The Graham Gouldman Thing (1968)

• Michael Nesmith presents The Wichita Train Whistle Sings (1968)

With original mono and stereo pressings and transfers in hand, we set to work understanding just how these discs were assembled in their mono presentations, as well as how the stereo mixes were approached to accommodate this. Despite the simple premise, we have a lot of fascinating things to dig into today.

I want to thank Andrew Sandoval, Andrew Pemrich, and Dae Lims for their source assistance.

Happy Listening,

Frederick
