The prior stereo version of "Love You To" contains a shorter fade than the initial mono recording.

Zenph claimed it could take a 50-year-old mono recording and distill from its hiss-laden, squished sound all of the musical information that originally went into it.

The mono recordings have been transferred most expertly, with plenty of body to the sound and a smooth treble response.

This mono recording meant that a stereo mixdown could not be achieved.

The reissue also includes five 1941 mono recordings of songs (including Tschaikowsky) sung by Danny Kaye.

The old mono recordings have held on to their immediacy, and so have the songs.

The original mono recordings were reprocessed into stereo by Udi Koomran.

The session tapes were later destroyed, thus there are no true stereo versions of the songs, although at least one mono recording has been discovered.

On early mono recordings and concert clips, this means slightly heavy-handed reverb on the back channels.

There are two reasons why this 1956 mono recording of Orff's well-worn choral work is of more than usual interest.
