Sundazed to release mono “Safe As Milk”

captain-beefheart-coverThe Sundazed label is continuing its run of quality Beefheart with the release of a ‘definitive’ MONO version of “Safe As Milk”. Many fans prefer the original mix of the band’s first album and this looks like THE one to pick up if you can’t afford one of the 1967 copies.

The album is going to be released on 180 gram vinyl and on CD. The vinyl will have all the artwork, including the bumper sticker, that graced the original Buddah disc. There will be liner notes by David Fricke.

虽然官方发布日期为2013年9月24日,但它已被一些在线卖家列出。

  1. Was the first generation mono master tape located or is this from a different source?

    1. no one is saying. no details on cd packaging.

    2. 它确实来自第一架Gen Master,Sundazed在他们的Facebook页面上发布了一张磁带盒的照片。

  2. rooting around, sundazed has stated that it is sourced from a safety copy,i.e. first generation sub-master.

  3. 椽子住了多长时间?这不是Huirs,旧乐队成员,公司的原因是如此不愿释放任何东西吗?为什么没有全世界反对历史上重要材料的丧失行动,这是一个项目
    original sources are mastered on new sources before detoriation?

    1. Analog tapes, and the sounds contained on them, can have a variable shelf life, depending on a *lot* of factors (tape formulation, how the tape has been stored, the number of times a tape has been used, general tape age, etc). There are some preservation efforts out there, but outside of the Library of Congress (and perhaps a few others I don’t know), they’re generally on a label-to-label basis. There’s actually a really great article that was written on the subject, which you can read here:

      That having been said, there can be numerous reasons why things may or may not be released. Money is the biggest one, mostly in terms of a release not recouping its initial costs (and making a considerable profit), but there could also be rights issues or any number of reasons (including source material deterioration).

  4. Has anyone else noticed that this edition plays faster than the previous release? And is thus at a higher pitch. Which is correct?
