I don't think there's any mono recordings, except possibly samples (the big "Top of the Pops" sample on "1987", for example) but what about recordings off the radio? Would this work? I know on the web there's a few off-air recordings kicking about - I'm thinking particularly here of a run-down of the chart from summer 1988 with The Timelords at number one. Hope this is of help!

Since I am just recording some KLF 12"s to my PC (again and again)... could it be possible that, due to the technology, the right channel on records is slightly louder than the left channel? Or is it just me and my crappy (SB Live 2 Audigy Z, 5.1 surround) setup? Both B-side tracks on 005R seem to be a bit louder on the right side, both from listening and checking in Cool Edit Pro.
Is there any KLF/JAMS record in mono so I could calibrate my recording settings?

I tested it with a small snippet of 3PM, converted it to mono and 1:1 stereo, and when I record them back into CEP, both recordings are 100% identical on both channels. Still the question is wether this difference in channel volumes (not too much, but clearly audible and visible) is intentional or a result of its medium. Maybe it's the sheer g-force that pins the needle of the turntable more on the right side of the groove track... ;-) ..::// Thomas
try adjusting the tracking, that usually helps, also the hight of the tone arm, either that or change the whole setup :-) that is ofcourse only if its a problem with all your vinyl and just not the klf stuff the problem could also be with the four pins in the tone arm, dismantle the headshell from the tone arm and clean them with some alcohol :-)

That can be corrected using Sound Forge or a similar type of program.
