One of the first jazz albums I bought as a kid was Benny Goodman's Greatest Hits, Columbia CS 9283.

My question has to do with track 3, "Clarinet a la King."  The liner notes indicate that this is from 1941, but the version on my copy, purchased in the mid- to late-70s, is clearly a hi-fi recording.  Moreover, while the album indicates "Electronically Re-channeled for Stereo," this track sounds like it is in true stereo. 

Did Benny re-record this track later in true stereo?  This is an Eddie Sauter arrangement.  Was there an entire stereo album of Benny playing Eddie Sauter arrangements?

Thanks in advance.
