No, it is in mono. It is '57 HIGH FIDELITY mono. The fidelity is good for '57. Music is nothing short of spectacular.

This had later releases on SACD in Japan and by AP. I have no experience with either of those. I own two other copies: JVC Japan CD and Chronicle Complete Prestige '51-'56 8 CD box. Box HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Disclaimer: I caught Miles live 6 times and had tix for a seventh, which was canceled. And it was to be on April 1st! I was at a show at the Petrillo Bandshell, Chicago which was broadcast on FM.

Dire Straits - Self-Titled

 

[Barbazul]

According to the comments over at HRAudio.net, the multi~CH SACD [going for BIG bucks] was NO BIG DEAL in the surround department. Rest assured, this IS the version to get, Ricky!

I can confirm that. I have both: La Luna & Eden and the multichannel layer is disappointing, the rear channels are just a reverb of the corresponding front channels. I would not recommend spend the eyes or kidneys for them . Go for the stereo HK version!

Paul Simon -
Still Crazy After All These Years

Some decent songs here especially the upbeat ones but don’t really get why it’s so revered. Good, not great, album IMHO.
It gets great reviews for sound. I think it’s fine but it didn’t knock my socks completely off.

Henry Mancini - The Music of Peter Gunn

Nice album, most of it jazz/lounge. Excellent sound too though the title track is kind of screechy.

 

[The Rang]

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Nuthin’ Fancy

An apt title for this their 3rd album.
Other than Saturday Night Special there isn’t anything on this record that jumps out.
Not terrible but sounds like they were struggling to come up with decent material.

 

[The Rang]

Stan Getz - Pure Getz

Nice steady album by Getz who was a veteran when this was recorded 40 years ago.
Edit: one of those discs that benefits from being cranked. It opens up and brings out the bass.

Coleman Hawkins - Wrapped Tight

Lots to like here, with 10 tracks crammed onto a 35 minute album resulting in variety

Billie Holiday - All or Nothing At All

Sweet album in beautiful mono sound.
Seems I’ve acquired a taste for Lady Day

Miles Davis - Sorcerer

Good album, think I’d place it in the middle tier of my favourite Miles recordings.

 

[The Rang]

The Flying Burrito Brothers -
Burrito Deluxe

Can’t say I’m a big fan of this one, nothing spectacular here.
The sound doesn’t help either.
TGPOS, though lean, is clearer.
This album is muddy and grainy.
And the cover is so bad it’s funny

Sonny Stitt - Blows the Blues

Another really good Analogue Productions SACD from the Verve catalog.
Never boring and nicely recorded.
