This new CD (imported from the EU) 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. 

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, Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, Patsy Cline and more! (Check my other listings for these).

Here are the songs you will enjoy in brilliant stereo for the first time:

  1. TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
  2. CHANCES ARE
  3. NO LOVE BUT YOUR LOVE
  4. THE TWELFTH OF NEVER
  5. ALL THE TIME
  6. IT'S NOT FOR ME TO SAY
  7. IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING
  8. ANGEL EYES
  9. IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU
  10. LOOKING AT YOU
  11. EASY TO LOVE
  12. WHEN SUNNY GETS BLUE
  13. CABIN IN THE SKY
  14. I'M GLAD THERE IS YOU
  15. WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL
  16. EARLY AUTUMN
  17. WILL I FIND MY LOVE TODAY
  18. FLY ME TO THE MOON
  19. YEAR AFTER YEAR
  20. DEEP RIVER
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. They are simply stunning!
