I'm now listening to a Steve Lawrence double-header that he issued on his own label. Now apparently Steve and Eydie ended up owning their masters - how that happened is anyone's guess, but since neither of them paid for their damn records, I never quite understand why any record company would allow such a thing. But the problem is, they don't appear to have actually gotten the master tapes back or if they did they didn't get the stereo tapes because everything they reissued on CD is in mono and frankly they reek of LP transfers. Shame on them - these were some of the best stereo records ever. This is what happens when you make stupid deals with people who don't know enough or care enough to release their own work properly. It's shameful.
