(I had my copy signed by Billy Preston after seeing him perform (exactly one year after John was killed)).

Kinda weird set that looks like a merge of compilations 1 and 2 (The Walk is on 1 but not the three other compilation) while One After 909 starts Compilation 2 to 4.

@Doug - Isn't this non Lemon slick for a pressing with only a single channel version of the Lemon release without the Across the Universe track. I don't think that either has the OPD- Acetate #2 ~May 1969 material

Get Back - Lemon Records - Compilation

Get Back - 12 Track Compilation

With regards to the original poster's query, this is probably little that can be done to recreate the missing channel , save a new rip or tape of the original becoming availlable.

RMW usually does a good job at speed corrected, so all that is left is a cleanup .

It would be good for any clean, speed corrected version to be circulated with the raw rip, until a new source is located.

You're correct on both counts.

Good and Thanks for the confirmation @Doug. It is so easy to go GB blind/deaf when listening to all these variations.

Yours sounds definitely better than RMW648 but still need de-cracking and de-hissing. RMW648 is stereo though according to Audacity.

Once it is done, can you make it a twin channel version? I guess by copying the left channel in the empty right channel in Audacity, right?

P.S. Check this version O.P.D. I have (stereo according to Audacity). hxxps://we.tl/t-dt7pKbS2uY

O.P.D is reported as being a single track of a stereo image. Does this raise issues about the validity of the Stereo versions?

@RMW- Is your version a recreation or an RMW version of a vinyl rip?

Does anyone here have a verified vinyl rip of OPD?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Both the cover art and the album could be good ones to recreate, using the best possible sources, Yves!!

They are, indeed, Keith!! I had a few things signed by Billy, including a vintage U.S. Apple LP of "That's The Way God Planned It".
"Dedicated Downloader Of Beatlegs"...!!! (Raymond Douglas Davies, Paul Sixtytwo)

And when he does
His little rounds
'Round the forums
We have around
Eagerly pursuing
All the latest vids and discs
'Cause he's a dedicated downloader of Beatlegs!
