FWIW, Russ Gary (the engineer) once posted on another forum that the Green River singles are true dedicated mixes. The mono single mix for the song "Green River" alone really is amazing. Everything else might be folds though.

what are folds?

Mono mixes that are electronically converted from the original stereo, rather than being mixed specifically to mono, or "dedicated" to mono.

There used to be a button on stereo systems that would do this.

It was right next to the Loudness button iirc

My Bluetooth headphones sometimes accidentally do those folds sometimes. Really a trip when listening to Olivia Rodrigo or something else clearly not mixed that way.

Bluetooth sometimes seems to have a mind of its own imho.

This compilation is on Tidal, and yeah, it sounds great. Might have to pick up a physical copy for the living room.
