It's an old topic, but I really don't like Van Gelder's stereo recordings on Blue Note.


While going through my record storage, I came upon this 15 year reissue of "Somethin' Else." The drums and base are far right, and the brass and piano are way far left. The middle is totally bare. I can see why the Blue Note monos sell for so much more money.

I might as well have turned on the TV in the middle and turned down the TV sound. At least there would be something interesting in between. Are all of his stereo recordings like this?
