Teasing the Korean Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) One of the first jazz albums I bought as a kid was Benny Goodman's Greatest Hits, Columbia CS 9283. My question has to do with track 3, "Clarinet a la King." The liner notes indicate that this is from 1941, but the version on my copy, purchased in the mid- to late-70s, is clearly a hi-fi recording. Moreover, while the album indicates "Electronically Re-channeled for Stereo," this track sounds like it is in true stereo. Did Benny re-record this track later in true stereo? This is an Eddie Sauter arrangement. Was there an entire stereo album of Benny playing Eddie Sauter arrangements? Thanks in advance.
