Return to Sender on "Top Tens" - S or E?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Pat, you list "Return to Sender" on the old RCA Elvis "The Top Ten Hits" as being stereo... but to my ears it's (E), not narrow stereo.  I tried to widen it with Magix, and it really doesn't widen.  Are you sure this is narrow stereo and not (E)?  And anyone else who owns the disc want to chime in on this?

	Hi Brian, I remember when that disc came out, how disappointed I was with the "remix" of that particular track. In my database, I label RTS as a remix, although I hate it and NEVER play it. Just my comment. Edited by davidclark

	I have the Elvis Top Ten Hits CD and have listened to "Return to Sender" on headphones and on my Adobe Audition software. I can't say I really detect any use of phasing, delayed echo in one channel, or other characteristics that typify an electronically rechaneled stereo (E) recording. Are there specific passages or points in the song, Brian, where you think (E) artifacts are most evident?

	I'm just not hearing STEREO. Pat has it listed as stereo, but I'm not really hearing any stereo separation at all. But there seems to be a bit of a spread to it rather than straight, dead-center mono.
