I always choose mono over the usually bad stereo mix on those recordings. I don't know why but it seems to sound better quality wise.

What's up with the mono turned stereo mixes???
I've been listening to some jazz resisues on CD and they appear to be original mono mixes turned stereo or really weird stereo mixes. It's like, when they made the stereo mix each instrument either got the left OR right channel, but not a mix of both. So, you've got the one trumpet over here and the other trumpet over there and then the drum solo which is a mono mix from one channel.
It's good music, but ???
