JOHNNY MATHIS NEW MONO TO STEREO MIXES
$ 13.95 $ 14.95
This CD debuts 20 Johnny Mathis classic as well as hard to find songs for the first time in STEREO. Mathis recorded them in the days of 1-channel monaural (which is NOT a natural sound). Now, new audio technology called “DES” (Digitally Extracted Stereo) makes it possible to take a mono master and separate the instruments and vocals into individual tracks that can then be mixed into authentic-sounding stereo with true channel separation.
It’s a laborious and time-consuming process—akin perhaps to restoring an old master canvas that has been painted over. But you hear much more detail in the original music, and Johnny really comes alive!
On Deep River you get to hear John sing a cappella with just a choral backing.

WHY IS IT SUCH A BIG DEAL THESE SONGS ARE TURNED FROM MONO INTO STEREO? This from Google: "Stereo sound is generally considered to be better than mono sound because it can create a more immersive and realistic listening experience. Stereo sound uses two audio channels, left and right, to separate the different elements of a song and give them more space to shine. This creates a sense of space and directionality, allowing the listener to perceive where instruments or voices are located within the audio mix. Stereo sound can also reproduce a wider range of frequencies and provide a higher level of detail than mono sound." So THAT's why it's a big deal when Johnny's tracks get the new treatment. You think you've heard the songs before but you really haven't ever heard them THIS way...because he recorded them in the days of mono. But now they are stereo. Every music fan should be thrilled!
THE BIG LABELS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO EMBRACE THIS NEW AUDIO TECHNOLOGY so this is a rare opportunity for you to be among the first to listen to these classic Johnny Mathis tracks in STEREO. This is a great collectible CD!
