The Roger Webb Sound – Vocal Patterns

My copy sounds fantastic and thankfully this pressing is centered unlike the previously reissued Patchwork (7) - Mean And Dirty. Bought new and sealed and the record itself looked a bit dirty and scuffed but cleaned up nicely. It’s a well recorded album and this pressing does the music justice.

This is the music I hear in my head every time I get in a screaming match with my child. Try humming “Play Girl” or “Flipper” when your 3-year-old refuses to brush his teeth, it really works especially when combined with heavy sedatives.

I only play this record when I’m home alone because some of it is pretty cheesy and overly jaunty but it’s all awesome. Faves: Moon Bird, Dazzle, Autumn Aria. Let’s hope we’ll get more De Wolfe Webb reissues in the future (Moonshade and/or Free As Air, please?).

As I guess here will be the same situation as e.g. at Hard Hitter reissues, so you can distinguish the different presses without opening and/or before buying it with the help of the stamp or the lack of that on the back cover - the white vinyl ones will have there something under the Music De Wolfe logo (like 192/500 on the pic at this release), while the black vinyl ones will have that area blank/plain white under the logo.

My copy is pressed on to black vinyl not coloured vinyl.

This entry erroneously indicates that this reissue is in mono (and indeed the back cover, which is simply a reproduction of the original, states the same) but in fact this reissue is in glorious STEREO. Music De Wolfe must have dug up a never before issued stereo mix to use (brilliant move), and it is absolutely amazing sounding. This is the type of music that, in my opinion, is properly heard in stereo--in which all the instruments and voices can breathe and image across a nice wide and vivid soundstage. So it appears that this is the first time the world has been given the opportunity to hear this amazing music in stereo, since apparently the original issues were only in mono--mix up a gin martini, put this platter on the turntable and celebrate baby! 5 stars*****

Amazing reissue! It sounds incredibly clear and well mastered. Very pleased with the color too!

In the UK - the always fantastic Juno have numbered, coloured vinyl. Looks like 500 only - https://www.juno.co.uk/products/the-roger-webb-sound-vocal-patterns/880207-01/

I've just registered on the De Wolfe website, but unfortunately this album is not available for download.
Would anyone please be willing to make a soundfile of 'Moonbird' for me – BEST PRICE PAID, and reciprocal arrangements for anything in my own collection to be recorded? Thanks in advance.

Another one I regret selling. Must be due for a repress?
Some enterprising label out there could do this justice surely...

if anyone will be willing to part company with this then please get in touch with me! cheers
