FAMOUS MONSTERS SPEAK (1963)

Updated and revised download of this classic in high-quality 320k rip from CD, with J-Stereo enhancement...you'l never hear it better than this! Variations of the front and back covers are included in the download. This was reissued on CD two years ago with the cover seen below. Note to the curious: There is NO difference between the material in the rip presented here and rips posted elsewhere, except for the fact of the source material here being from a commercially-available CD, and other rips being from the old original 60's vinyl LP....the recordings are IDENTICAL (I have rips of the old LP for comparison, and they're the same as this)....the difference here is that my rip is from a CD (further comments below the CD cover image).
There's a normal amount of analog hiss due to the age of the recording, but this sounds so crisp and clear, although it was likely mastered from a very clean vinyl LP, it really sounds as though it was remastered from the original studio tape recordings! Another classic 60's album (although not specifically Universal-related, but the cover images are all the Universal monsters). Link is in the comments area.

Love this LP. I'm always looking for better copies of anything.

Actually I have a commerically released CD also, but I'm not sure which one I shared. MY LP rip or the CD. My CD came from a website called Filmland Classics (something or other) that claimed their CD was a legal re-issue. It also included a 1930's OTR Frankenstein Track. My only complaint was it came in a cheap arse slimline case with a stick on CD label. The sound of the original LP tracks was very clear too.
