Hi, friends! Sometimes is not easy to turn a mono record into a stereo one. Many people do it but spoiling... It´s not your case! Big hug from Lisbon, Portugal!

Your stereo remixes sound just as crystal clear as a fresh vinyl record! Other DES mixes I find on the internet tend to sound warbled, compressed and poorly mixed. But for yours, it's just as good as the mono master recordings. Keep it up!

With the great Wrecking Crew musicians contributing the music. One of Hal Blaine's first rock contributions on drums.

Now this is a great remix Nice and clear and sharp Cheers

Lyrics:

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain won't you tell her I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

Oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter patter, pitter patter
Oh, oh, oh, listen, listen to the falling rain
Pitter patter, pitter patter
Oh, oh, oh…
