Daniel, by "RM11" I know you're referring to the US mono promo mix with the piccolo trumpet ending. Perhaps The Beatles listened to the various remixes and settled on the mix without the trumpet ending (RM14 UK mono mix). That was their preference and not indicative of the trumpet ending sounding bad.Personally, I'm happy that both versions exist for our listening pleasure. Looking at my post on May 31 last year, in retrospect I cannot recall if I might have indeed heard the promo on the radio back in 1967. I purchased the stereo Magical Mystery Tour LP when it was released. The first time I definitively remember hearing the trumpet ending version was when I purchased The Beatles Rarities LP in 1980 thirteen years later.As far as my own personal preference, I like the piccolo trumpet ending version better. It's a piccolo trumpet dénouement.THE BEATLES Remasters! /// 9. Penny Lane - (MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR) - (MONO Remastered 2009)The Beatles - Penny Lane - 45 RPM - Promotional Copy WITH TRUMPET ENDING
I just discovered on the "Collector's Items" (Unreleased Capitol Album/Released by Dr. Ebbetts http://www.bootlegzone.com/album.php?name=SPRO-9463§ion=1) that the RM11 is in stereo. I am wondering if I actually have the original (mono) mix. I have the US Rarities, but as we discussed that is a fake.If I make a fold down mix of the stereo, would that be true?
I don't think so, Gary.
What is that based on Daniel?
Yes, it's mono.
Nothing. I think RM11 is mono.
I didn't say RM11 wasn't mono. On the bootleg I was referring to, all of the references say it is RM11. I know it is a contradiction that says it is stereo, I understand that. So if I took that mix, and folded it down to mono, is that the genuine mix?
