What is the difference between the two? Other than the obvious?

One is stereo and one is mono and the mixes are different.  

[JSngry]

That's the obvious then. Thanks.

[jazzbo]

I know. I get blowback and some disdain often enough mentioning anything audio around here. . . It's a different mix with subtly differing instrumental and vocal balances--I'll limit my comments to that.

Were they just doing fold downs by then, or would it be a dedicated moni mix?

I thought maybe there were different takes or something. I've learned to never be surprised.

“Chet Baker Quartet Vol.2” SHM-SACD Barclay/Universal Japan

This music always sounds fantastic, this SHM-SACD is no exception.

Grateful Dead “Mars Hotel” Mobile Fidelity Lab cd

Sun Ra “Pathways to Unknown Worlds” Modern Harmonic cd

A 1975 Sun Ra recording. This is about as far as I go with Ra in general. In the right mood . . . I’m almost there. . . it’s a fun listen.

This was one of the Ra releases on ABC/Impulse originally.

That makes me really want to hear this version. The album was a very early entry point on my Jazz entry

The Verve cd I posted above seems to use the same tapes, i.e. the sound field is the same as described in the article.

Mason is pianist and composer joined by Tony Glausi (trumpet), Chris Lewis (tenor saxophone), Felix Moseholm (bass), and Domo Branch (drums)

Thank you I'll seek it out, although I suspect I may miss quite a lot of the benefits of your great set up.

I think you'll hear the differences . . . .
