Ferry, Bryan - These Foolish Things - Hot Stamper

Ferry, Bryan - These Foolish Things - Hot Stamper*NOTE: There is a bubble scuff in the vinyl that plays as 7 light thuds at the start of track 1 on side 1, "A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall." Vintage covers for this album are hard to find in exceptionally clean shape. Most of the will have at least some amount of ringwear, seam wear and edge wear. We guarantee that the cover we supply with this Hot Stamper is at least VG. Anyone who digs Roxy Music or Bowie's Pin Ups is going to find a lot to like here.

there is a mark that plays 6 times at a moderate level about 1/4 of the way into track 1

John Ewing – trombone

Table Setup

though Wilson would more famously use the same technique of overdubbing an electric backing track to an existing acoustic recording with Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence

On a good recording -- one with real dynamics -- that part of the song should be very loud and very powerful

you will not notice this tonality issue nearly as much as we do
