Hello folks
If the original 'Stereo' United Artist lps of Tom Jones and Topkapi were really Mono then are there any more 'Stereo' United Artists lps that were also really mono?
Regards
CC

There were many - not just on UA. Another one is "Some Like It Hot" - the official CD versions of it sound awful. I wonder if the score was ever recorded in stereo - the source for stereo pressings for sure weren't multi-channel masters...
On the other hand, there are many early sixties UA recordings that sound great. It's sad, for instance, that the LP suite of "The Misfits" has not been re-issued officially thus far. The stereo recording is not without problems, but for sure would make a nice addition to the complete score (which seems to be no longer extant in stereo)...

The big questions of course is: who will re-issue the remaining UA LPs? "Jessica", "Young Billy Young" and "Buona Sera Mrs. Campbell". It's unbelievable that they haven't been done by now - especially the last one.
Add to that extended editions of the Billy Wilder titles like "Irma La Douce" and "Some Like It Hot"

That Japanese "Jessica" release is a (unautzorized?) LP rip. No?
Similarly all Leroy Holmes recordings but "King Kong" have been released by various labels in Europe. They obviously thought that these were the origninal recordings and thus in the public domain. The same goes for Elmer Bernstein's UA re-recording of "The Ten Commandments".
I'm usually a completist, but the lack of official re-issues of the Leory Holmes recordings really isn't a miss.
