On page 19 of BSN's Time-Life discography, it lists all the tracks on "Your Hit Parade - '60s Instrumentals" (Vol. 1) as being Mono. But Pat lists them in his book as being all stereo. I sent an email to Mike Callahan on BSN, asking if this was correct, but didn't get a response, and he hasn't changed the discography.

Was there more than one pressing with different stereo/mono content for that disc? I must admit that a post-1958 "Your Hit Parade" CD that is 100% mono seems unlikely, so I'm not getting my hopes up. (I'd sure love to get The Sripper, Wonderland by Night, and Exodus in mono, though.)

Mike Callahan must have a typo as these tracks are indeed all stereo. I would say it is extremely unlikely that there are two different pressings of this cd with one being 100% mono and one being 100% stereo.

hey Brian,

my copy of "Your Hit Parade - '60s Instrumentals" is not all mono...those three tracks are indeed stereo, as are all the others. Dunno about that BSN review!
