2K Club - QQ Super Nova
Some of you QQ brethren have probably seen that I like to go to Thrift shops every once in a while and have gotten quite lucky with the exceptionally clean and minty Classical LPs I have gotten, hell I just sold this Vivaldi Digitally recorded LP for $16 and it cost me..80 cents!
ANYWAYYY...
I got this Ray Conniff greatest hits , which ALSO turned out to be almost MINT and the first song, "S'wonderful" is stated as "Electronically RE-RECORDED to simulate stereo"....now, we are talking early 70s here and technology was not extremely advanced...The thing is that , IIRC , the main trick to do this fake stereo was to boost the high freq on one side and cut it on the other,
BUT
This one is HIGHLY advanced for its time cause BOTH channels sound like they have the full frequency spectrum and separation sounds...perfect! ..Now, I don't know if they actually meant that they actually MIXED it from what I am guessing were two track recordings but bear with me...the brass section sounds very discrete...IIRC , frequency separation would have made the "panning"quite obvious and the rhythm section stays anchored in the middle...
I have both the original Mono LP and the Greatest Hits, and here is the GH...it's the first song...let me know your theories... (ooooohhh; I remember those bouffant hairdos from when I was a kid...where does time go???)
