*If this sounds a bit off when listening to it without headphones, it's because the left & right tracks aren't perfectly aligned. Read below for details.

This is take 3 of Johnny Cash's "Get Rhythm" in true stereo-- Not something that was split into stereo using audacity, but real stereo.

I found this video a while back of what claims to be a microphone check for Get Rhythm that only has Johnny's vocals:

And this video on the same channel, which claims to be take 4:

I noticed how similar the two recordings sounded. I put them into Audacity and discovered that the "Microphone check" was actually the tape used to give Johnny's vocals an echo in the final recording. All I had to do was line up the tracks(which was pretty hard, since they were recorded on two different tape machines the speed of each recording was off by just a fraction) and manually create the echo for the track with just vocals.
This may also be the answer to how some recordings at SUN's old studio have stereo sound despite the studio only having mono recording equipment.
