Chuck berry doesn't sound like its suppose to to me either.
I have a stereo version of that as well, but the voice sounds like it was overlaid. Sounds odd in mono so i didn't post it.
 
Shoulda put this all in one post.
Could the the remastered oldies simply be studio musicians redoing the songs?
I've heard horible collections done that way.
i dont like remastered Unoriginal recordings.
I love "true stereo" recordings (doesn't matter if its wide, 4 track or what.) but it still have to be the original recording.
"I Got You Babe" is an example. why they have the mono version on so many cd's when a true stereo recording exist is beyond me.
Does anyone have that? I have a stereo version on LP, but the LP isn't in the greatest shape.

John: I didn't pick up all of your posts in this thread, but I wanted to mention that there's a process that's used to to convert mono into "fake" stereo. An example of this can be found on You Tube at: http://www.youtube.com/user/DoctorKmix. If you want to try your own conversions, there's a program available at: http://www.musereo.com/. The trial download is free.

I checked out a lot of the mixes.
I do not like them. it is stereo but they ad stuff to it.
I do not like "Fake stereo."

I would think that few people like fake stereo. I do some DJ work and sometimes fake stereo sounds good in a larger room. People come to dance..........they're not music geeks. I would say that you should learn record companies. Ony buy CDs on original labels. For example, if you're buying Chuck Berry be sure it's on Chess or one of its affiliates (MCA, etc). If you're downloading mp3s, be sure that you know the original source of the song.

I should add that Time-Life does a great job. I've never found fake stereo in any of their re-issues.

You have to be subscribed to there mag or look on eBay to get it though right?

No. Time-Life does those infomercials we see on late night TV. The only fake stereo you might find is when the original record company had no mono version available and the original version was mixed in fake stereo.

bassed on the track samplers i've heard they have some stuff in mono that has stereo versions available.
I’d Love To Change The World Ten Years After
Heart Full of Soul The Yardbirds
California Girls The Beach Boys
A Whiter Shade of Pale Procol Harum
I Get Around The Beach Boys
Every song is true to source and is not a remasterd/re-sang copy, but they dont always use true stereo versions when stereo versions are available.

Well, sometimes Amazon.com can help. For example, their list of mp3s for "California Girls" clearly states which CDs have the stereo version and which CDs have the mono version.

I understand that Time-Life even went back to ancient pre-tape aluminum, glass and lacquer master discs to retrieve the genuine earliest recordings on some of their collections.

I believe the original version of "The Fat Man" by Fats Domino w/The Dave Bartholomew Orchestra (rec. Dec., 1949 at the legendary J&M Studios in New Orleans) was actually transferred from an aluminum master to audio tape for the T-L "Roots of Rock Pt. 1" disc.

It's tragic that several fires (e.g. Atlantic Records), lax storage procedures and legal hassles have
deprived us future archivists and music lovers of the output of hundreds of classic artists from dozens of labels.
 
Ah. I like eric records. I haven't baught from them, but they seem to have a lot of stereo recordings. they make it very clear which versions are stereo, and which aren't.
 
A note to my previoust post: this 1947-1951 period was a transitional time, when the recording industry was changing from Scully, Presto, Record-Tek and home brewed direct-to-disc master cutters to Ampex, Wollensak (later 3M) and other audiotape-based recording technology. The release of captured WW2 German technology in tape recording to the US patent market triggered the change.

As usual, the smaller studios, radio/tv stations and record labels were the later adopters of the technonogy as prices for media and hardware declined.

(Long live DAVE BARTHOLOMEW...still with us at age 92+!!!)
 
the thing with this guy is yes, it is stereo, but he adds his own music track to the original song.
yes it takes work and detication, which i get. however, its not for me.
if you said it wasn't fake stereo, you'd be telling the truth as it isn't.
but it isn't the original song in true stereo either as it was heard.
