Me neither.

When I was a tyke in 1971-72, we lived just outside Pittsburgh.  Wish my parents had picked up those LPs and set them aside for me!   

 

 

Back to this LP that I picked up recently:

 

[kh1958]

Harry Babison and The Jazz Pickers (Mode)

Harry Edison, Patented by Edison (Roulette)

Jimmy Giuffre, The Music Man (Atlantic)

They were monitored in mono, with placement and levels set for the mono album.  So really, the stereo recordings were a step in the process to achieve the mono version, which was the priority.  As someone in the biz, you know that when a stereo signal is collapsed to mono, the center information increases in volume by +6db.  So the the stereo levels were set with mono in mind.  Either way, the mono sounds better, just like on most of the Blue Note albums.

At least on my stereo, Impulse stereo pressings sound better than Impulse mono pressings in my experience.

To each his own.  The balances are usually better in mono, IMO.

That was true for the Hackensack studio, but not for Englewood Cliffs.

My ears tell me that these sound better in mono, which is why I unloaded the stereo.

Also, the Englewood Cliffs albums generally place the bass and piano/chordal instrument in the center, and they sound better in mono when these elements are increased by 6dB.  This is why RVG narrowed the stereo for the CD releases - to increase the centered bass and piano.

That said, you will always be my mentor when it comes to model railroading.

Mulgrew Miller was my favourite pianist in the 80´s. I saw him with Woody Shaw, and later with Blakey. And I think with Benny Golson-Curtis Fuller, when Griffin sat in for "In Walked Bud". 

With whom Mulgrew is  playing here ?

Just 'peanuts' but the label is IMHO "EastWorld" - Have the  vinyl and more of them. Great series not too much known among collectors.
