Here is a sample of "The Mexican Shuffle" in stereo:
How is this possible?
This track is one of the new "revectored" mono-to-stereo simulations, available on the Canadian label Hit Parade Records. For what it is, it sounds pretty darned good and nearly accurate (although the bass is vaguely centered vs. being in the drum/percussion channel, which could be a technical issue with the revectoring process). To the casual listener, if this had replaced the fake stereo version on the LP, nobody would notice.
Is this interesting enough to buy the CD? The rest of the tracks are quite varied, interesting, and not the typical all-hits collection, so it is an attractive package. Just about all were Billboard Top 40 hits. Check out the CD listing above, and also take a look at some of the other compilations they offer. We'll always have the mono originals, but it can be fun to cut loose and hear what these may have sounded like in true stereo, and these are very well done. There are compilations from other eras and genres, so there is quite a mix of music.
