[QUOTE="Winslow, post: 322081, member: 9104"] Cannot agree more: The mono LP lasted about 15 years, during which engineers and artists devoted themselves to getting music recording right: Unfussy, unprocessed, spontaneous takes were the standard. Low-noise tape hadn't been invented, to say nothing of Dolby. Post-mixing was limited, with none of today's 32-channel stuff -- there is catastrophe waiting to happen! Musicians didn't yet wear earphones isolating one from the other and preventing the interplay that results from the physical sensation of acoustically modulated air. They had yet to give control of the production (an apt word, now that I think on it!) to producers and engineers. There was a sincerity of performance that went beyond the mere act of marketing yet another moneymaking record. The result: typically, an immediacy and purity that stereo recordings rarely achieve. Listen again. Leonard Norwitz www.enjoythemusic.com The case for collecting Monophonic LP's [/QUOTE]
