Have you read about my 2025 DJ Premium?
Observations of Deviance with David Mittleman presents Mono Mania: Rare Jazz Mono Vinyl Selections: Original Mono, Never Reissued Vinyl Jazz Tracks from OoD’s Collection
wfmu.org...
This premium collects mono tracks from LPs originally released in stereo & mono, but where only the stereo has been reissued. The one exception, and the rarest, is the Art Ensemble of Chicago track from Bap-tizum. That LP was only officially released in stereo. The record label pressed a limited amount as mono promo-only albums for AM radio stations. The rarer promo-only mono version is presented here. Other musicians include David Axelrod, Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp, Max Roach, Abbey Lincoln and others. All the vinyl is from OoD host David Mittleman’s collection.
Why mono? What it lacks in definition, it makes up in power. Mono tracks pack a larger “punch.” You can almost feel the difference in the way the sound waves hit you. Sometimes hard-to-hear parts in the stereo mix leap out at you in mono — like the Art Ensemble’s vocalizing. The cover art is by noted designer Darryl Norsen. He’s designed cover art for labels like Eremite, Numero Group, Light in the Attic and many more. His art work “flips” the cover of the Art Ensemble of Chicago LP Bap-tizum. Darryl generously donated his time/work to this project. Enjoy!
