A contributor to my site asked if I had a particular song, Everlasting Love, by Robert Knight (1967). He's been such a nice contributor, I bought a CD just for him, for that song (later I remembered I have it on a various artists CD, somewhere).
I played the song, remembering what it sounded like on radio, and the stereo version was so weak sounding. Then it dawned on me, what they played on (FM) radio was the Mono version. The Stereo version, while nice, is just poorly mixed and doesn't compare to the mono version. Sadly, session tapes are gone and remixing isn't possible. CD claims "Master Tapes" used. And since tape noise isn't an issue, I have to assume it is true.
I didn't want to give the contributor such as weak sounding song, so I STRUGGLED to get it to sound halfway decent, but still not pleased...

Even KMA Rock dude can see it is near or at brick-walled sound.
