[Heeplist] In Rock sound :))))

[Igor Shveitser]

 You may be amazed, David, but it isn't always the case with the Stateside made albums. Only yesterday a friend of mine brought along the original Parlophone-made Sgt.Pepper's... of 1967 to compare with my Capitol release made in America 1969. And you know what?! Mine playes at least on the same level including all the details, dynamics and the sonic scene and the condition is way way better, so I'm lucky here. I believe, it is not American industry as a whole to blame but the very WB - most of their releases of English bands are inferior to the English originals. I have all of the Heep lot on green Warner so I know what I'm talking about. Luckily too, in my possesion are not only those copies of 73-77 period... But WB's Heep is ok, and In Rock stands out... I take as just a pure insult to the American hard rockers.
Cheers, Igor

>Agreed, I always had the import of In Rock and thought it was great, then I heard the USA release and they cut off the intro to Speed King and the sound was awful, but that seemed to be what happened to a lot of albums that were first released overseas and then in the states, I always figured it was cheap mass production done in the states.

The same applies to all (or almost all) WB versions of DP albums, especially In Rock and Machine Head!
