Title: Sunflower is in mono and stereo, according to the Goldmine Album Guide (???) Post by: Joel Goldenberg on July 22, 2016, 08:35:53 PM I just bought the 2015 edition of the Goldmine Record Album Price Guide, and noticed it has an extra sound designation for albums. As in other Goldmine price guides, S is stereo, M is mono, R is fake stereo and P is partially stereo and apparently B is an album in both stereo and mono, but one that is designated as stereo. In this book, Sunflower has a B designation, and it's referring to the U.S. album, not the UK with the fake stereo Cottonfields. And the liner notes of Sunflower emphasize that the album is in true stereo sound (thanks, Steve Desper!). Wonder where the author got the idea Sunflower is partially mono.
And BTW, the That's Why God Made the Radio LP also has a B designation. ::) Title: Re: Sunflower is in mono and stereo, according to the Goldmine Album Guide (???) Post by: Stephen W.

COMMENT TO Joel Goldenberb: SF was never mixed in mono. Any mono would be a fold-down from stereo. And BTW, the That's Why God Made the Radio LP also has a B designation. ::) The best listening experience for Sunflower (and many other Beach Boy releases) is to visit the website listed below and push the button for the First Part of my book Recording The Beach Boys. It's all there. ~swd http://swdstudyvideos.com Title: Re: Sunflower is in mono and stereo, according to the Goldmine Album Guide (???)

Perhaps this is why it's listed as partial mono?
