The mono/stereo version of that album is definitely worth having for that reason. The Rev-Ola mono/stereo issues are nicely packaged (in digipaks) with great liner notes. I prefer most of those early Martin Denny albums in mono, as the stereo versions are kind of lopsided. I don't know if it would be worth repurchasing all of these just to get them in mono, though. Aside from lopsided stereo sound, the mastering on the Scamp two-fers was nicely done. [ Edited by: OnyaBirri 2008-01-17 05:57 ]
