Mine is the 1981 reissue of the album, originally recorded in 1954 Mono. It does not say mono or stereo anywhere on the Jacket or LP label. Played with my Grado Mono cartridge, sounds terrific. ........................................... Yesterday I found and cleaned two Louis Armstrong in my collection. (many given to me or bought in thrift stores, many I never played before ). One, ’Rare Items 1935-1944’, says ’enhanced for stereo’, then, it says in small print that Decca Stereo LP’s can be played on ’Today’s Monaural’ phonographs. I’ll play it today both ways, fearing enhancement of course. https://www.discogs.com/Louis-Armstrong-And-His-Orchestra-Louis-Armstrong-Rare-Items-1935-1944/release/10514892 Other one, Vol IV, Louis Armstrong and Earl Hines, big print: ’Digitally Remastered Directly from the Original Analog Tapes’ (1989 promotion copy), 1 track from 1927, 17 tracks from 1928. https://www.discogs.com/Louis-Armstrong-Volume-IV-Louis-Armstrong-And-Earl-Hines/release/1364133 no mention, mono or stereo on jacket or lp label. small print: "every effort ... to preserve the integrity of the pre-stereo analog recordings". then, 2 curious things: 1. these transfers from metal or shellac parts contain imperfections ... 2. original 78’s from the collection of ... so, how from analog tapes??? I’ll listen tonight |
