Eric Records new stereo "Surfin' Safari"

[sixtiesstereo]

Eric Records released five new CD's with a remarkable amount of state of the art DES stereo.
On this CD, they have "Surfin' Safari" in first time stereo.  To me, it sounds perfect.  Listen to the
sample here, it's track 24:

Thanks for posting that. Sounds better than ever in spite of maybe a little too much echo.

It is really quite good.  There are phasey things going on but it's remarkably low on artifacts.

Da Doo Ron Ron sounds...weird.

  Possibly, but "One Fine Day" sounds sensational.

This one has I Get Around - haven't checked the source of the mix - it says "Stereo Debut"

Very interesting. Surfin Safari sounds very nice, they certainly pulled off the illusion- despite some pretty noticeable phase issues...

Agreed that Da Doo Ron Ron sounds very, very strange. Aside from the obvious phase issues, there must be something else going on, but I still can't put my finger on it.

How is this done?  Digitally separate the different frequency ranges of a mono recording, and then lay them throughout the stereo spectrum?

  That's basically correct.  Each voice, each instrument, etc. is separated using high end spectral software, then each 'stem' is remixed into
a new, true stereo mix.  The Both Sides Now website has a section where the technical aspects are explained:
