and let's add this to the debate: which version do of Denny's Quiet Village
do you like better, the original mono version or the updated stereo version
they re-recorded in 1959?
I have to agree with Martin Denny that the original version is fresher and more exciting. The way he describes it is that this was the version recorded by a group of guys who were releasing an album for the first time and they put all they had into it. By the time the stereo version was recorded several years later and after several hundred performances Martin Denny felt a bit of the spontenaity and excitement had gotten lost.

And I've seen book contracts where the wholesale price of those reviewer
copies is not counted among advances or royalites earned once the advance
is earned back. This often happens with midlist or first-time authors and
is fairly standard with small publishing firms. Perhaps the sales generated
by a review help make up this little nip in income. Another case where a
writer does not get income from the work. Hope the music producers are more
generous than the publishing houses. FYI.

Gotta say the original mono. I am a sucker for originals, mono or =
stereo.
A dwindling most of the xotica I have is mono, since the majority of my
collection was once a monophile's. It doesn't bother me for stuff like
Denny, but I would be ticked if I found something like Esquivel in a =
flea
market somewhere and it was mono. =20
Of course I would buy it anyway..
