vinyl word: I have several fantasy red mono and blue stereo vinyls. Many blue vinyls are reissued from original mono vinyls. So, most of them are rechanneling for stereo with too much echo/reverb sound. Re-issued blue stereo are not good sound quality, but original blue stereo vinyls are very good quality (Vince guaraldi, “Cast Your Fate to the Wind”, “A boy named Charlie Brown”).

Kristian : I need your help concerning the 30 cm Metronome issues of Prestige albums. Would you have an available source to answer the question which albums from the Prestige catalogue have been issued in Denmark under the Metronome banner. I counted 18 Prestige and one New Jazz. Can supply this info to you.
If you ask Al, you may reply directly to my mail adress

the echo/reverb might be a result of rechanneling for stereo — just a hunch.

Does anybody have the Red mono Fantasy and the blue stereo. I can only compare the the blue stereo with the original French issue , the blue Fantasy has a slight touch of echo ( much like the sound created on some of the Prestige Miles recordings) where the French issue has no such sound. I was interested to know if the mono issue has the same effect or it is like the French issue.

I have the fantasy 1962 debut reissue in red vinyl, sounds fine. I then grabbed my original Massey Hall, also ok pressing and sound. Debut was continued in Denmark by Westergaard in Brande, who recorded a memorable session with Brew Moore, Svinget 14, Brew Moore in Europe, with Lars Gullin among others.

I have “Blue Moods” Debut, Danish version(1960), and Fantasy 1962 Mono. My Debut record has some ticks, but no pressing related surface noise. Danish version is good vinyl and sound quality. Fantasy version has some noise. Very unique miles album directed by charles mingus and teddy charles.

I don’t have “Blue Moods,” so I just spun it on Spotify. It sounds great with no surface noise. 😉

I played DEB 120. My copy is a visual NM. There is some ’pitting’ though, which is audible. The surface noise is more than acceptable, with the exception of the second track on side B.
I compared the US original with the French issue of the same year (Vogue- Swing LDM 30.035). The French issue has a slightly better audio quality.
I had the 1962 re issue on Fantasy in red wax which Don mentioned hereinabove. I sold it since it was no improvement on the French issue.
This said, I spent a good time listening twice to this extraordinary music.
