# The Silver Axe's Classical Music The record surface is in very clean condition with no scratches, mold, or fingerprints. However, the jacket has age-related yellowing and stains. The jacket itself has no noticeable folds or scratches. Around this time, EMI in particular released many monaural recordings that were converted to pseudo-stereo using phase differences to be heard in stereo. While I was impressed at the time, there were mixed opinions. With an old audio system, if you listen to it in monaural through a single speaker, the sound will be more natural.
