Interesting choice Dave!
Q1 – is that R1 re-sing actually in stereo? The original was only known in the UK in mono of course.
I think the reason may be this…
Jon explained a while back on Rewound Radio how some jingles that weren’t originally in stereo could be mixed into “stereo”.
So, the various musical elements on a jingle were each recorded with a single (mono) microphone onto a separate tape track. In some cases. up to 8 tracks.
By panning those musical elements (to the) left/right, it would appear to be stereo.
I think the vocals were recorded to a single track so they remain in the centre.
New vocals today can, of course, be recorded in true stereo.
