Bill Evans recordings

Sunday at the Village Vanguard. Was it recorded in stereo or mono. Cant find this info anywhere.--86.181.160.84 (talk) 15:08, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

It's not a question of how it was recorded, but of how it was released. Both mono and stereo versions have been released. --Viennese Waltz 15:23, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

But if it was only recorded in mono, on a single track, it would be difficult to release a very good stereo version. StuRat (talk) 16:16, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Not necessarily - see Duophonic. A stereo release does not require a stereo master (although admittedly a "very good" stereo release does). Tevildo (talk) 18:07, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I was aware that it's possible to create fake stereo from mono, hence my inclusion of that qualifier. StuRat (talk) 20:42, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

This one was definitely recorded in stereo, with the piano panned hard to the right channel. By 1961 stereo would have been standard for a recording made for commercial release as an album. ReverendWayne (talk) 17:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Brian Jonestown Massacre songs with Female Vocalists

I particularly like "Anemone" by Brian Jonestown Massacre as sung by Ms. Katie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BqRNSlTXsw. It was featured on an episode of Jonathan Rhys Meyers' Dracula. Are their any other songs by the group sung by her or guest vocalists? Thanks. μηδείς (talk) 19:37, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
