A lot of early recordings were on 3 channel Tape Recorders (I'd always thought they'd gone from 2 to 4 to 8 etc.), with one channel for the 'soloist', and the other two for the band. I'd put L & R into the Front Left & Rights, and the 3rd soloist into the Centre. I haven't played it in a while but I'm fairly sure that is how the Dave Brubeck "Time Out" SACD I have comes out on my player.
Thanks indeed. I guess that one thing I can do with 3 channels rather than stereo is mute L/R channels and just listen to the piano as a true solo. Would the original Verve just have been stereo?
