  • Mono vs. Stereo

    Frederick French-Pounce is an expert on classic pop and rock from the 1960s. Each episode takes listeners on a journey through a classic album to discover differences in the original mono and stereo mixes (and, sometimes, relevant remixes).

    Is this necessary? Are there really that many differences between a mono and stereo version of an album? The answer is a resounding YES! While there are a few albums where the mono and stereo versions are very similar, many times there are discernible differ... more

    What sets this episode apart is the meticulous exploration of the 36 brand new remixes, spanning three LPs each. These remixes, a blend of works from 2015 to the present and entirely new mixes, truly pack a punch. The hosts... more

  • A wonderful discovery!

    I just stumbled on this podcast while searching “French music.” Somehow, the search words picked up — music & Frederick French Pounce. Well, I’m glad they did. When I saw Disraeli Gears and mono and stereo comparisons, I knew this here audiophile would relish the podcast. And I did! Just finished up Ribber Soul and Something Else. Can’t wait to develop into the other albums. Exceptional, fun, elucidating music podcast. Well done!
