Another example - mono sound recordings. Somebody says "it
sounds
like
the orchestra are all sitting on top of each other".

don't
be
silly you shouldn't compare films with real life.
Ok, now this is a very 'telling' remark.
That's why I included it in the post.
I guess you've never really heard
any 'mono' then? (Or, at least, not mono done well).
You guessed wrong - my favourite recording of all time is a mono
recording.
What is it?
It is a recording of some Bach played by a Spanish guitarist by the
name
of Narciso Yepes.
Right, I'm not here! (Should have been out of here an hour ago!)
Yepes (LPs of course - WTF else?):
I wish.
Unfortunately it's on a cruddy old compact cassette.
Plays Bach - DG Stereo 2535 248
Spanish Guitar Music (the usual - Albéniz, Granados, Tárrega, Llobet,
Ruiz-Pipó, Villa-Lobos, de Falla) - DG Stereo 2535 182

A very 'pleasant plucker' indeed..... :-)

(Say the word and I'll, er, tape you summat, if you are quite partial
and
don't have all the above.......!)
Got most of it but thanks for the offer.
cheers
