While not among the best remembered soul groups to emerge from Philadelphia in the '60s and '70s, the Intruders were instrumental in helping define what would become known as Philly Soul. This vocal quartet was the first signing to Gamble & Huff's Excel label (changed soon after to Gamble Records) in 1965. With these records, Gamble & Huff began to develop the production style which would reach its peak in the '70s with the O'Jays, Billy Paul, and Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes.
The Intruders' trademark was the endearingly off-key lead vocals of Sam "Little Sonny" Brown. Brown's shaky voice was a good match for such novelty numbers as "(Love Is Like A) Baseball Game," "Me Tarzan You Jane" and the R & B number one "Cowboys To Girls." He also projected a warm innocence on romantic ballads, including "We'll Be United," "Together" and "When We Get Married." (Soul Detective)

THE ROLLING STONES - BETWEEN THE BUTTONS (1967) ORIGINAL UK MONO VERSION + 2 BONUS TRACKS
(ripped from a near-mint copy)
Prof sez:
Another one in the series "essential Stones in mono but not available on cd".
The mono mix of this album differs substantially at times from the well-known stereo version. Some tracks sound significantly better, while others do not. One thing that sticks out on the mono mix is the extra chorus at the end of 'Yesterday's Papers', which is not included in the stereo mix.

GEORGE HARRISON - Dark Horse (1974) The Apple Years 1968-1975 Remasters Box Set (2014) @320
http://www48.zippyshare.com/v/10994028/file.html
Released in December 1974, Dark Horse capped a prolific year for George, during which he had established his own Dark Horse record label, built a recording studio in his Friar Park home in England, and completed an ambitious tour of North America. Throughout the year, Harrison produced albums for several artists while also recording his own. The songs on the LP document both George’s fallibility, in “Simply Shady,” and his spirituality, in “It Is ‘He’ (Jai Sri Krishna).” Dark Horse reached the top five in America, sounding a high note at the end of Harrison’s rather frenetic year. The new release adds “I Don’t Care Anymore,” a sought after B-side making its CD debut, and a previously unreleased early, acoustic take of “Dark Horse.” The CD booklet includes newly written historical notes by Kevin Howlett.

Thanks for the GH, Gyro!
Thanks
I have this but you never ever have enough of the Intruders. Thank you.
Thankful for this blog and all its contributors. You make life great and you are all appreciated for your kindness!
Thank you, Prof for the Stones; and thank you, Gyro, for doing the work for me.
I love this blog.

Thanks for another 'Mono' delight, Jimmie Dee!
Gyro, many thanks again for posting the zippy link.
All the best,
Marie
Jimmy Dee / Prof. Stoned:
Can't thank you enough for your work in providing us with the mono rips of, in particular, Leonard Cohen [which is a revelation in mono] + the Stones LPs. [The Dylan mono 45s were also much appreciated.] Also of interest were your included notes chronicling the time spent searching for the best mono source. I thought I was obsessive . . . but you're in a league of your own. Thanks for sharing your obsessions with us :-)
Once again, heartfelt thanks to Jimmie Dee & Gyro!
Thanks for the Stones - it's great to hear the music in its most potent mix form.
Btw, does anyone have "Stax Sirens & Volt Vamps". It's got a Sweet Inspirations b-side that isn't available anywhere else.
Thank you Gyro for all things George.
The Intruders are one of the best of the Philly soul era. Thanks so much.
And although I prefer the stereo versions (feeling like a real minority with this one), I think it's cool that Prof Stoned is providing these high-quality rips of mono albums. I also appreciate Gyro making them available in 320 (which is what I usually download since I honestly do not detect much of a difference and it takes up so much less space on my hard drives).
Cheers!
Thanks a lot, guys! It's gonna be be a rainy day but ,thanks to you, a MONO day today.
Thanks for everything and everything
many thanks RYP for intruders drop!
