In Reply to: RE: I don't think there was a stereo master tape. posted by Dave Pogue on January 01, 2023 at 06:23:47
I have some other Basie stereo stuff on Roulette from that era but it's all cut from stereo masters.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
Follow Ups:
Stereo was novel so Roulette made some stereo pressings on red vinyl to... enhance... that aspect.
Stick with the mono though for more pleasing audio results.

Regardless of the sound quality. No way would I leave the record store without it.

Just read this from a review:
" The 1994 reissue is newly remastered from the original mono master tapes (the stereo tapes, with the rhythm section on one channel and all the horns on the other, was rightly not deemed the best source for a release) and has excellent, dynamic and pristine sound quality."
And that's how it sounds on stereo tape. Many thanks, always wondered. Btw, the semi-notorious Teddy Reig was credited as "Recording Supervisor" of the tape.
Some interesting quotes from Wikipedia about Teddie Reig-
Jazz historian Patrick Burke wrote that Reig "initially earned his club-going money with schemes such as selling worn-out records that had been doctored with shoe polish to look brand new."[4]
"Teddy was a freelancer and a wheeler-dealer who suffered no fools and took no prisoners. He could be rude and crude. He smoked enough reefer to launch a rocket. Some considered him a liar and schemer and self-serving schmuck. I liked him. I liked the music he made. I liked the fact that he delivered. Were it not for guys like him, the world of recorded jazz would be considerably poorer."[2]
"Some questioned Reig's integrity and taste. When Sarah Vaughan signed with Roulette in 1960, Reig became her producer. Jazz historian Gary Giddins considers many of her Roulette recordings to be the worst of Vaughan's career."
