Thank you and think about any other Mono single release you might need. Bye for now .

When I opened this thread I thought it was about "That's All Right".

I wouldn't call it "awesome" but at least it sounds interesting. Boy, now I finally realized what a stinker to me this really is (sorry to all "My Boy" fans here, no offense taken).
It's never been a favourite of mine, I rather listened to some of his stupid movie songs than this one.

Mike, do you have a leveler on your audio system? Unfortunately your original rip is clipped but hey, again I'm thankful for your interesting uploads.
I tried to clean it up by using ClickRepair, converting it to real Mono, adding a little puncher to it (okay, that's digital) and speed correct it (as usual) by about two-and-a-half percent.

Elvis Presley - My Boy (Mono).wav
http://www46.zippyshare.com/v/29307112/file.html

Interesting fact: the fade-out runs about a second longer than on the recent remaster!

Enjoy!

P. S.: Mike, is there a possibility you also could upload "The Next Step Is Love" in mono? But please beware of the clipping (like on "I've Lost You"). Thanks in advance!

Yeah, that's what i initially thought, that it was going to be about Sun 209. But that SAD person promisedland posted this muck instead.

It takes an IDIOT like mysterytrainrideson to think Sun 209 would fall under this topic after reading 2 pages of My Boy , what an IDIOT!

I apologise for sounding rude, but my comment was only as a joke not a personal dig at you. I could have worded it a bit better.... But My Boy is still rubbish though. I've only just got around to reading this thread. When i saw the title of this thread i thought "Sun 209" i started from page 1 worked my way down and just commented on luckyjackson 1's post. No offence honest.

Hey Mike and promiseland, I found it - ripped it some two months ago:

My Little Friend (Mono).wav (File size: 29 MB)
http://www60.zippyshare.com/v/24419410/file.html

I decided to leave it as a stereo file, because when I converted it to a mono file it sounded rather sh*tty (like a worn tape).


And ass a special bonus: here's the glorious A-Side "Kentucky Rain", too - sorry for the clipping, the recording is so loud and the bass so powerful and I didn't adjust my leveler correctly - that's probably why I rejected the rip in the first place but didn't feel like ripping it again yet:

Kentucky Rain (Mono).wav (File size: 35 MB)
http://www60.zippyshare.com/v/63855611/file.html

And "Kentucky Rain" as a mono convert - strangely enough this didn't sound as bad as the B-Side (and I slightly lowered the volume on that one):

I'll have a listen on Friday and let you know what I think, I can't access to audio files right now. Thanks!. Bye for now .

But it raises the question if "My Little Friend" as featured on the "Almost In Love" album was also in monaural?
Can't check it right now but the single version sounds very similar to me.
IIRC, the mix featured on "From Nashville To Memphis" was the first time ever the song appeared in stereo. Sounded pretty bad though.

I'm kind of confused With "My Little Friend" you have uploaded as to what you said "leave it as a stereo file" but the upload is mono? Did you just do a mono fold down from stereo, or is this the original mono 45rpm rip?

When you listen to the file you'll find out it's the monaural version but kept intact the way I ripped it (left and right channel).
Usually when I rip a mono version I'll convert it to a one-channel mono file.
In most cases this helps to get a better sound quality (and the snaps, crackles and pops aren't that audible anymore). Not in this case.
Here it sounded even duller and like it was taken from a worn tape. Hope this helps as an explaination.
Don't ask me why that is, I'm really no audiophile expert. Maybe somebody else could help us out on this behalf?

Hi there!! .

Hi there!! .

Do you have this one Mike ?

promiseland, sorry for being late . I have been away from home and very busy this week. But here it is, the vinyl rip for My Little Friend in Mono . Enjoy!. Bye for now .

Sorry my friend, I don´t like the samples you posted, they sound to me lifeless . My sample of My Little Friend I just posted for promiseland sound much fuller and punchier to me. By the way, My Little Friend included on the "Almost In Love" LP is in Stereo. Thanks anyway . Bye for now .

why do people have to keep ripping the hell out of this song, its really not that bad ! for a mid 70's tune its pretty damn good!
ok im biased because when i was 1 yr's old & my mom & dad we're divorcing my dad used to play this to me/us !
elvis clearly loved it & for once in the mid 70's he clearly put all his passion (if not heart & soul) into it -
if you really love & respect the guy like i believe most of us do then why do you not respect the fact that HE thought a lot of it
and gave it sufficient respect!
maybe in 2013 elvis himself wouldnt care for it but at the time he clearly did ! respect that!

it doesnt make you kool or a big man to piss all over a song he loved & u supposedly hate

Hey Mike, "that's all right". Those tracks were taken from my "Gold Standard Series" 45RPM. They've probably used different tapes for this.

If you'd like to, I can do a "clean-up" of your "My Little Friend" rip also.

No complaints but is there a way you can leave the endings a little longer? They're very short cut at the end. Thanks in advance!

BTW, is there a way you can adjust the speed on your turntable? It seems as every rip runs about three-and-a-half percent too fast compared to the "Complete Masters" versions. Just askin'...

My friend, will try to leave a couple of seconds more on the next vinyl rips . But I still have some (7 songs) that I already did rip the old way, as this is time consuming I will leave these as they are and will do your request from now on. Sorry, I don´t have a way to adjust speed on my turntable . Of course you can clean all my "(deleted - see guideline #2) rips" you do a wonderful work on them. Thank you for your time in doing his . Bye for now .

Hey Mike, did I say "(deleted - see guideline #2) rips"? If I did, I apologize. It's really no problem, leave them the way you ripped them. And the speed adjustment is really not a big deal - it's actually fun! Just takes some time with my lame computer
And thanks for your kind words, that's very flattering.

Here's "My Little Friend", which indeed sounds better from your rip - most likely they used a worse source for my single.

But I keep your uploads anyway, as they sound more "original"

I just wonder when a bootleg CD appears: "Elvis' Greatest Monaural Hits" or something...

why do people have to keep ripping the hell out of this song, its really not that bad ! for a mid 70's tune its pretty damn good!
ok im biased because when i was 1 yr's old & my mom & dad we're divorcing my dad used to play this to me/us !

I think you have missed the point. It is not about ripping the hell out of the song, it is about the bully boys flexing their muscles and setting up people, like you, to come on here and say you like the song and then they will condemn you, put you down and make themselves feel much much better for it. Oh and if you have a pop back the moderator will delete comments that point out what these bully boys are up to. It appears some experts on here, have an ego the size and smell of an elephant.

Hi there!! .

Hey Mike, did I say "(deleted - see guideline #2) rips"? If I did, I apologize.

Please don´t apologize my friend, I was just kidding . Thank you for adjusting My little Friend once again, it sounds great, you are the man! . Today you will have extra work , specially for you another great song Kentucky Rain. Thanks. Bye for now .

http://www3.zippyshare.com/v/50085812/file.html

Heck, I really fell for you this time, Mike!

And yeeeeaaaaah, thanks again for your upload. In the past few days (since I received the version from the "Elvis Gold Records, Vol. 5" CD) there's a new-found appreciation for "Kentucky Rain". Played it today in my car stereo as loud as it gets while crusin' around downtown. What a great song and performance it is!

This will be the last one for today as I have to go to bed pretty soon and head for work tomorrow. Looking forward to all your upcoming uploads!
BTW, they're gettin' better every time!

Sorry for another smart-ass remark but the sound is a little "wavering". Could you see the pick-up moving back and forth during the ripping process? I also have some of those false pressings.

Hmmm... how can I put it right... wasn't sure if I found the correct word to describe it. The recording sounds a little strange. When you have a record that's been pressed incorrect it kinda sounds weird. Don't know if "warped" is the correct word for it. Maybe somebody else could help out on this behalf?

That's fine with me if you post the next uploads on the Mono topic. Thanks, Mike!
