Knight In Rusty Armour +12

Again, my pre-release review of the album "Woman"(criticizing the many release delays) stops me from reviewing that disc, but to summarize, the "Woman" CD has both the stereo & mono versions of the albums, with the stereo tracks all being true stereo, except "Woman" which is fake stereo. A true stereo mix of "Woman" was created in the 1990's and made its CD debut on the 2003 Japan CD of "Peter & Gordon '66". The "Woman" album combined the hit title track with selections from the group's 5th UK album "Somewhere". Now, onto my review of "Knight in Rusty Armour". It's another Capitol Records U.S.A. 1960's album. By this point, the group was more successful in America than in their native England, and this collection seems to be a real album, not just something compiled by Capitol, and a fine album it is. The album is presented in both stereo and mono and all of the stereo selections are true stereo, and they sound great! There's also an additional bonus track: an apparently previously unreleased alternate take of the Gordon Waller solo track "She Never Smiles Anymore". It is in mono sound. I've purchased 7 of the 8 January 2016 Warner Music Japan "Peter & Gordon" CD's, and the quality is generally quite good. I was worried because the two "Peter & Gordon" CD's that Warner Music Japan released in 2015("In London For Tea" & "Hot Cold & Custard") had harsh "Loudness Wars" mastering. The January 2016 discs are (excepting the 5 fake stereo songs) much,much kinder to our ears.
