Title: Jan And Dean - Brian's Songs On Cd Post by: BiNNS on October 22, 2020, 07:10:27 AM As someone who lacks knowledge of Jan And Dean, I'm trying to get my hands on a Jan And Dean cd compilation (or two) that contain all of Brian's co-written songs. Preferably in mono. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Title: Re: Jan And Dean - Brian's Songs On Cd Post by: Rocker on October 22, 2020, 01:34:09 PM I'm not sure if they are all available on CD in mono right now. The original album mono mixes by Jan are hard to find, because the CDs mostly use this strange stereo version with the vocals on the one side and the track on the other.
You can hear the original mono Liberty singles on this great CD: (http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_400/MI0000/812/MI0000812226.jpg) Anyway, take a look here: https://jananddean-janberry.com/jan-berry-at-a-glance/jan-berry-and-brian-wilson/ And check out the General Music section on this here Smiley Smile Board for a thread on the new Jan Berry biography by Mark A.

But it looks like you got at least all the songs then, dunno about the mixes. The one I posted above has the original Jan Berry mono mixes.

They both feature the obvious hits like Surf City, Ride The Wild Surf, Drag City, Sidewalk Surfin.... but they both exclude album cuts they wrote together like Surfin Wild and Move Out Little Mustang.
As a fellow J&D fan, I've been searching high and low for the mono mixes in a a digital space. The Complete Liberty Singles + vinyl rips I can come across, or create myself, have been my best solution. The recently released "Ba-Ba-B-B-Ba-Ba" compilation features the R&B pre-Surf stuff in mono. |
