I broke down and ordered the stereo version of Simon & Garfunkel's Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme on Columbia Legacy after waiting over a year for a reissue of the mono version. The SQ is ok but I find the mono production to be far superior.
Another thing I noticed when comparing the new copy to my original mono pressing from 1966 is that the dead wax on the new reissue is twice as wide as my original copy which can only mean the grooves were compressed and narrower. Due to the digital process?
I have to say that 7 O'Clock News/Silent Night is still as chilling to listen to as the first time I heard it!
