Oh no, no, no.
The original had a different production and is a mono recording.
(This, stereo, made by me, using sony Sound Forge 9).

So it's a remix of the Hopkins album ?

In other words, he did a homemade remix of official stuff to conturn the iorr policy... nice ethic!

What's next? "Wandering Spirit" in mono?

By the way, the original album can be bought for very cheap on several internet sites. I say that for those who have a minimum of respect of the artists (and copyright laws btw...)

Mika, não é melhor retirar o post e acabar com a polemica ? Pense nisso.

Damn. I was hoping there was an actual mono mix.

And as for Mono in 1973 -- There's a Zeppelin mono DJ copy of "Houses Of the Holy."

Lots of AM radio back them for sure! Not to mention single speaker car stereo systems.

For those interested:

Nicky Hopkins' finest solo album, the memorably titled The Tin Man Was A Dreamer is a solid piece of engagingly edgy pop-rock -- picture Elton John's early '70s work with more variety, a few rough edges, and a bit less ego. As one would expect, Hopkins' piano playing (augmented by the organ in spots) dominates most of the songs, but there's ample room for strong contributions from George Harrison (working as "George O'Hara") on lead and slide guitar on four of the tracks, and Mick Taylor on lead and acoustic guitars on four tracks; the rest of the band includes Klaus Voormann on bass and Bobby Keys on sax, as well as future Tubes alumnus Prairie Prince on drums. Highlights include the hauntingly beautiful ballad "Dolly", the closest thing to a potential hit on this album, featuring a moving vocal performance by Hopkins (who wasn't known as a singer), with a beautifully understated lead guitar contribution by Taylor; the instrumental "Edward", featuring Hopkins' piano and organ rippling across a wide range of musical textures; the pounding, pumping rocker "Speed On", which offers Hopkins and his songwriting partner Jerry Williams on vocals; the wittily scatalogoical "Banana Anna"; "Lawyer's Lament", with its exquisite harmonies and Taylor's sensitive lead playing; and the rollicking "Pig's Boogie", which crosses paths with the work of Merrill Moore and Jerry Lee Lewis. This isn't a perfect album, lacking the pronounced pop hooks of, say, Elton John's work of the same period, to put it across to the public, or the personality flash to go with the virtuosity to make Hopkins into a star, but it is a very worthwhile foray into center-stage by one of rock's most renowned side- and session men. Reissued on CD by Sony Music in Japan in the 1990's.

Many of the bootlegs posted here contain some tracks or are entirely made up of officially released stuff in crappy quality masquerading as alternative mixs etc.
