I listened through the Stereo part of the SACD, and it's essentially a mono record. Get this, the tunes are all from 1953 to 1956, so they were originally released in mono. As for the packaging, it has an outer cardboard cover that does mention Multichannel and SACD stereo. That is the only place it says that. Nowhere on the disc nor the booklet or jewel case do you even see Stereo.
This is a mono disk. The outer cardboard was probably a mistake. But, make no mistake, this is a mono disc. If it were stereo, it would be the worst mastering in the world because everyone is clustered in the center of the soundstage.
