I personally like "I" statements, Ron, rather than flaming rants. There is no need to refer to me here. State your case about yourself and what you believe and leave it at that. I have no need for anyone, including you, to worry about my knickers.
When I WAS a boy in the 1950's, my grandfather had a hearing aid, what was then state of the art. He would turn it on and still continue to say, "Speak louder! I can't hear you!" So we would speak louder, and he claimed that he still couldn't hear us. The family all piled in the car and went to the audiologist with grandpa, who had spent a small fortune on his hearing aid.
What the audiologist told us was that Grandpa's state-of-the-art hearing aid was essentially like a monaural vinyl record. EVERYTHING, including traffic, footsteps, wind, the television... everything audible reaching grandpa's hearing aid and the detail is gone.
Stereo recordings today indeed run the gamut, and some scores are so bad they don't even deserve to be printed for anyone to hear, stereo or not.
As far as I know I have a vote on this website the same as everyone else. I don't attack other posters here either with "you should think this" and "you should think that. My initial response simply stated clearly that this customer, myself only, is not buying any monaural recordings. That's my vote, I stand by it, and by the look of sales figures, I am not alone. A lot of those monaural recordings are still sitting on the shelves for years and not selling... and they certainly are not on my shelves.
I get it...you want to post and no one is to refer in any way to your posts. Got it.

I think Liz's finest hour with respect to looks was CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF. She's incredibly gorgeous in that film. You can't take your eyes off of her. Perhaps, as Manderley suggests, she had great cameramen.
I agree that is her finest hour.

The original Japanese CD release of BOY ON A DOLPHIN was monaural but the sound was so clear, and the instumental performances so distinct, that it was truly difficult to tell if it was stereo or mono. I was thrilled when Intrada released its stereo version, which I bought of course, but the improvements it brought were far less dramatic in comparison to its mono predecessor than many other such comparisons.
EDIT: Allow me to add... My set arrived today, and the sound is wonderful (yes, even on the mono SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME). Kaper's amazing versatility shines through in his music, which is just a pleasure to sit back and enjoy. Really love this!
Just finished listening to Disc One, loved it all especially Somebody Up There Likes Me, a brilliant release from FSM...of course!

Intrada should have released BOY ON A DOLPHIN in a double CD set with the mono and stereo versions complete. I guess that is easy to say now.
Thank goodness people are enjoying this, otherwise the lot would just have to go into the dumpster out back.

Speaking of Kaper, it surprises me a bit that Mutiny on the Bounty hasn't reached low quantity status yet.
It's the price tag, of course...which doesn't bode well for Spartacus.
