Let's give the mono a listen. After all, when we grew up with these guys in the 60's we didn't give a hoot about stereo

assume the power 1586/14.3

Excellent review.  And now that the mono set is again generally available, I need to consider picking it up.  I have mono versions of many of the Capitol releases (abominations in themselves).  I want to hear the British versions, but having bought the stereo set have been holding off. 
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

^ I really think you'll enjoy it. 

And yes, the first few Capitol mixes/compilations are pretty much hellspawn in mono OR stereo. LOL

Although we do have them to thank for the Magical Mystery Tour LP, which even the band themselves consider part of the 'official' catalogue. By that point the Capitol guys knew to behave themselves, though. Wink

Interesting.....A mono mix of Sgt. Peppers. On "A Day In A Life", Lennon sings "I read the news today....at the start of the song on the left side, then after the build-up, when Lennon repeats " I read the news today" the second time, his voice is on the right side. Somehow, though, I have the feeling that the mono mix will still seperate these two vocal positions.Wink
