Ron Crater/Uptown Conversation Original SD-571 / 571 Mono Promo D/J Copy Monaural CSG Process LP


RON CARTER “ This is Very rare the original 1970 white title label promotional MONO vinyl LP with no 'SD' prefix to the catalogue number on the label, custom stickered 'DJ Copy Monaural' Sticker is on Front Sleeve . What makes this so unusual is that unlike most mono promos, this isn't simply a left channel blended with the right channel mono but has actually been specifically remastered using the CSG process, exclusively for AM radio stations. The CSG (Compatible Stereo Generator) process was used to neutralise this effect & create a more natural sounding mono from an original stereo master.


“Atlantic Records provided these Monaural CSG PROCESSED pressing to the radio stations that had been a dominant base for Atlantic Records over the course of the company’s lifetime. Some of the still-loyal radio stations were a declining market and didn’t have a necessary equipment to play Stereo signal. Therefore, these radio stations received specific Mono mixes from the producers of the sessions that were made using the CSG (Compatible Stereo Generator) process, which allowed to create stereophonic vinyl LP records that when played on the Monaural equipment would allow the 2 channel stereo mix to automatically fold-down properly to a single Monaural channel. This unique Monaural CSG PROCESSED Promotion copy was the first ever pre-release pressing and was delivered to the radio stations 3-4 months before the release .”
