Now this is the famous "King Size Taylor" Star Club recording of 31 December
1962.
This has been issued many times on vinyl since 1976 but not so often on CD.
This CD still doesn't contain the complete show, very few tracks are missing, but it's
more complete than most other releases.
It is Stereo here, which is a kind of "mock" stereo as the original recording
was mono. From what I know, in 1976 everything possible has been done to polish the tapes
which was done by intensive filtering using 16 bandpass filters and transferring the
recording onto 16 track tape to be able to remix it.
This CD obviously was mixed into stereo using this multi track, and the result is very
good IMHO (well, the sound still is a bit muddy but this CD is way better than my vinyls).
The Stereo image is quite good, carefully separating the "hi-hat", voices, bass,
and guitars accross the stereo image.Listening to the CD is not distracting at all, unlike
most other "mock stereo" mixes.
Regarding that this CD is not a "full-prize" CD, I highly recommend getting it
if you want to replace your worn vinyls!
Considering the "Anthology" won't contain a single track of this concert, it's
even more recommended!
