Victory at Sea - original LPs Vs Remastered LP or CD

One frequently hears excerpts of these stirring symphonic works on public radio and I have always thought of picking up a copy, either LP or CD.  Reading the reviews on Amazon is largely worthless as one reviewer will give 5 stars and the next 1 star for recording quality with little in-depth comment as to why.  If you own these works I would be interested in hearing your recommendations.  One question I have is I assume these are all monophonic recordings, is that correct. 

It has been my experience that the monophonic RCA recordings from this era were quite good, often as good as the remastered versions on certain labels.  So my thought is I do not want to spend a wad-o-cash if the originals are reasonably close to any remastered versions.

This is something best seen and heard on DVD .

US now has less than 10% of industrial power it had then and every American should see how this DVD makes it clear as clear can be better than anything you will ever see or hear.

Thank you 1 % .

True , your are right O-10 .

Equally you see the people at home working 24/7  on the DVD to get out tens of thousands of planes , tanks , ships and weapons of every kind . Detroit was the hub
and now is nothing .

Every American man should see , and not forget, the Heroic part of the
US women in the factories, who were as important as a man in combat.

Indeed many women worked harder and longer than many men in the service !
