PEGGY LEE NEW MONO TO STEREO MIXES
$ 13.95 $ 14.95
This CD debuts 24 Peggy Lee classic as well as hard to find songs for the first time in STEREO. Peggy recorded them in the days of 1-channel monaural. Now, new audio technology called “DES” (Digitally Extracted Stereo) makes it possible for engineers 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 like a modern, multi-track recording.
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 Peggy really comes alive!

The EU label that released this CD has also done new mono-to-stereo mixes on Elvis (about 100 songs!), Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Connie Francis, Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett, Patsy Cline and more! (Click the artist's name to see more info).
Peggy Lee wrote at least 270 songs, including standards covered by major artists of past and present. One of them — a lullaby — she sings here a cappella, without any accompaniment at all!
Other tracks have wonderful musicians backing her.
Here are the songs you will enjoy in brilliant stereo for the first time:
- IT'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME
- I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN
- I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT YOU
- THAT'S ALRIGHT HONEY
- YOU'VE GOT TO SEE MAMA
- OOH! THAT KISS
- IT'S A GOOD DAYI
- I'VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO HIS FACE
- THERE'S A SMALL HOTEL
- TOO LATE NOW
- WHAT CAN I SAY AFTER I SAY I'M SORRY
- LOVE YOUR SPELL IS EVERYWHERE
- BABY, BABY WAIT FOR ME
- MY SMALL SENOR
- STRAIGHT AHEAD (WITH MILLS BROTHERS)
- HE'S A TRAMP
- SO DEAR TO MY HEART
- THE MILL ON THE FLOSS
- LOVE YOU SO
- I STILL GET A THRILL THINKING OF YOU
- WHY DON'T YOU DO RIGHT
- ALL DRESSED UP WITH A BROKEN HEART
- WHERE OR WHEN
- LA LA LU (A CAPPELLA)
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 Peggy'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 she 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 FABULOUS NEW AUDIO TECHNOLOGY so this is a rare opportunity for you to be among the first to listen to classic Peggy Lee tracks for the first time in STEREO. This is a great collectible CD!
