Try sitting way off access. It'll sound less like points in space and more like a sounstage. Perhaps not the one that it was actually played on, but better than the left-channel right-channel nonsense that you get with so many of these early stereo recordings.
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?
