Sonny Rollins ALFIE, Impulse! stereo.

This RVG stereo recording of mid 60' sounds great, I am asking myself if all the monos of this period do really worth the extra money. I don't like the extreme separation of channel and instruments of some of RVG BN stereos, (and avoid like pest some of the early Atlantic stereos, it sounds like the saxofonist is playing in the kitchen and the drummers in the bedroom and you are listen to them in the corridor). Maybe the major number of musicians in Alfie's recording benefit of a stereo recording.

I know it's a Pandora's box: late monos are fold down, you should have a real mono cardtrige, etc... everybody has a different opinion, my two cents.

Totally agree with you - in general I really like the BN monos (although the stereos are OK by the Liberty era), I like the Impulse stereos and apply some caution with Atlantic stereos.
