Hearing is believing, and you’ll become a believer when you hear these dynamic true-stereo mixes of pre-rock hits that, until now, could never be heard this way! We’ve freed mono recordings from their narrow one-track existence to give you a remarkable audio experience that is more true-to-life than ever before. Our expert sound engineers have reached all the way back to 1939 with cutting-edge DES technology to separate voices, drums and other elements of original mono hit recordings and mix them into true stereo without adding or subtracting anything.
Hear some of the best-known hits by best-loved artists in stereo for the first time in this extraordinary collection, including “That’s Amore” and “Mambo Italiano” by Dean Martin. “Vaya Con Dios” and “How High the Moon” by Les Paul & Mary Ford sound incredible in stereo, as do the vibrant harmonies of vocal-group hits like “Sh-Boom” by the Crew-Cuts and “Goodnight Irene” by the Weavers (#1 for 13 weeks!)
Stereo goes to the movies on iconic standards like “Over the Rainbow” by Judy Garland, “Singin’ in the Rain” by Gene Kelly, “Secret Love” by Doris Day, “Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing” by the Four Aces, and Elmer Bernstein’s exciting theme for “The Magnificent Seven,” never before in stereo.
Even Glenn Miller’s original 1939 hit recording of “In the Mood” gets the stereo treatment, and it sounds like it was recorded 30 years later! And hearing an iconic song from the jump jive swing era in wide stereo by Louis Prima is nothing short of amazing.
Other great classics that appear in first-time stereo on this breakthrough collection include “Cry Me A River” by Julie London, “Shake, Rattle And Roll” by Joe Turner and “Cry” by Johnnie Ray & The Four Lads.
For collectors, we’ve included the stereo single debut of Dave Brubeck’s signature jazz hit “Take Five” and Edith Piaf’s famous French classic “Non Je Ne Regrette Rien.”
