You make a good point about picking up the mono vs. stereo. The quality of Capitols mono (aka High Fidelity) recordings is often a topic of discussion between I Zombie and myself. We've both noticed that the Capitol High Fidelity stuff is some of the best sounding vinyl you can get, while their Stereo mixes are frequently a little off. Far East Goes West is a Mercury release, the stereo mix is quite a bit better. (I recently picked up a mint copy of it--I love it but I like gimmicky records :) Capitol was the king of Mono, but RCA was the king of stereo--I would never hesitate to pick up an RCA stereo release, they were always far superior to mono and other labels' stereo. |
