"Sondi" - Sondi Sodsai (Stereo copy)

I was trying to pick up a copy of this on eBay last year and was outbid again and again --- by the same buyer! There was this guy in Bangkok who was apparently collecting every copy of this he could find for any price. He was bidding up to $100 for an album he already owned. Eventually, it looks like he was kicked off eBay and had his account terminated -- but then he turned up again under a new name and continued bidding huge amounts on every copy of "Sondi" that turned up. By this time, I had given up and located a copy from a non-eBay seller for a good deal less.

But I'd still like a mono version of this. The way the vocals continually pan back and forth from speaker to speaker kind of irritates me -- I suspect it would sound more dynamic in mono.

In any case, I totally love her version of Les Baxter's "Love Dance". That is just so cool!
