I have a Stanley Getz CD that is an outstanding mono recording. One of my favorites to kick back to: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000046ZJ/qid=1134573485/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/104-6139871-4541512?v=glance&s=music
Good MONO recordings
I listen almost exclusively to vinyl (classical and jazz), and 98% of the time I prefer listening to Stereo over Mono, but every now and then a mono comes along that really stands out in it's detail, dynamics and coherency in a way that stereo often doesn't. Obviously there's a lot of great performances that were recorded in mono that are tolerated just to hear the music - but I'd be interested in hearing from people about any Mono recordings they consider in the top tier sonically.
