So, to sum up I don't remember seeing Sound Mirror listed on any of my recordings except for the RCA Living Stereo remasters, so I can't comment on their original recordings.

You should try some.  These guys are excellent.

It turns out I have two original recordings from Sound/mirror (see above) and based on those I won't be seeking them out. I listen in 2-channel, perhaps they are better in multi-channel?

Could be.  I don't bother listening to the stereo version if a genuine MCH exists.

but then... why bother with a genuine MCH if a great video exists...

1.  I cannot hear with my eyes (despite what some might say).

2.  There are so few great video music recordings as to be almost inconsequential.

3.  Recorded video distracts me from the music.

What your criteria for "great video music recording"?

It has to be, a priori, a great musical and audio experience.  Video is an adornment.

re #2 - there are a few, esp. in the rock idiom

They are mostly irrelevant to me.
