The blurry photos of this band performing live really add a lot to hearing this song, and I can't explain it. It's almost like I can see them playing live in my mind's eye
Thanks, I had done videos that way before (when I have photos from the band, not photos from the internet) and viewers seemed annoyed. I prefer it, but your mileage may vary...
Does anyone know if there is a difference in mastering or sound quality between the 45 on Phalanx and the one on RCA, or did RCA use the same metal plates?
Interesting query - be honest I never did an A/B check. Different matrix numbers - Phalanx has hand etched #'s, the RCA has machine stamped. I'll check.
OK, recorded both with the exact same equipment / levels / programs. The RCA is measurably hotter on the levels. With the different run-out styles, I'd guess RCA had the tapes and made their own stampers. Your mileage may vary...

Been digging this track for over 40 years a wonderful organ drenched sound
Brilliant track. I especially like the cooling down of the band after the guitar solo highlighting the keyboard. Great record !!
Excellent!!!!
great cut

Nice movin' tune. I have relatives in the Ft. Wayne area.

@@vinylfool Yup, makes sense as RCA made their own master and stamper specifically for AM transistor radio airplay.
The song's average for the time, but the band uniforms are hard to ignore. Or forget.
