Bill Evans Village Vanguard 3CD set


I picked up a copy of the recent issue 3CD set from the 1961 recording. My speakers pretty much disappear in the soundstage with most CDs, but when playing disc 2 of this set I have Bill clearly in the right speaker & Motain/LaFaro clearly in the left speaker and the center is basically devoid of music...it's rather annoying. I haven't tried the other CDs in this set yet.

A quick check of my system and other CDs / sources indicates everything is fine equipment-wise.

Anyone else experience the same thing?

Do you know of another recording of this same music that has it mixed better...or do we just have to enjoy it with a "vintage" hat on? The recording itself does sound OK...although the mixing sounds like a "stereo effect" overachiever was on the controls.
