Just two days ago I listened carefully to my daughter's remastered (1997... already!) "Are You Experienced?" USA CD, and was surprised by the "poorness" of the stereo soundstage. Then I compared with my original Canadian Reprise (2 or 3-color steamboat label) LP. The CD does have much better drums, but I found the rest to be exactly the same (the pitch is altered though).What I'm getting at is is the poor stereo, bland bass guitar sound, etc. a result of 1966 experiments with "RnR stereo" and wild psychedelic imaging, panning, etc., and not really suceeding at it, or is because this is an incorrect mastering job or sourcing?
Is the UK or US MONO the way to go for this particular album?
