Bill Evans Village Vanguard 3CD set

I'm not aware of a re-mix which resolves this imaging issue. For me its just a minor annoyance you get used to. Helps if you don't sit in the sweet spot listening to 'audio'. Besides, hearing this gives you a lot more respect for great stereo productions on those few occasions you find them. :-)

The SACD of Waltz for Debbie has the same issues. I've gotten use to it. I figure that was the way that they were placed on the stage. The recording is otherwise excellent.

I have that set, and noticed that too. Bugs me. Especially after i bought the set in hopes it would be better than the Milestones LP I have of the same recording. On the LP, Bill is smack in the middle, and it sounds great. After going back to the LP I find it to be really so much better than any CD's I have heard of that concert. Bass and drums are not as dynamic, but I don't miss that; there's some special ambient quality to the LP, as well as the mix being better. And the LP is a 1975 reissue!

Try sitting way off access. It'll sound less like points in space and more like a sounstage. Perhaps not the one that it was actually played on, but better than the left-channel right-channel nonsense that you get with so many of these early stereo recordings.

On the other hand, you have to admit that the sounds quality is really lush, and that does help.
