I was amazed at the number of differences I could hear; not just mixing differences, but really big differences, like missing backing vocals on the stereo Fixing A Hole and of course a whole lot of missing special effects from the stereo Lucy.

In Japan, it debuted at number 10, selling over 20,000 copies in its first week on the Oricon album charts. Your ears are getting more auditory information than you get with mono, but more information does not as a rule make for a better listening experience or even better audio quality. Here, the added auditory information of stereo actually does make for a richer, more detailed listen. In the last few years, I've been listening to a lot more pre-stereo recordings on LP and on 78 disks. This compilation was released individually as a triple vinyl LP set on 9 September 2014 in Europe and the following day in North America on the same day that The Beatles in Mono box set was released in vinyl LP format.Unsurprisingly, this is because stereo is a really good audio format, and we know how to engineer in stereo really well by now. Magical Mystery Tour was not included in the set as it was not originally issued as an LP in the UK. You may be right, but let me confirm, I read it on the web today, but right now I'm watching Sabalenka - Gauff.

And I've noticed, that after a few minutes of letting my "ears" adjust, the mono starts to fill the room, rather than being "shrunk down" to the single speaker. I was 11 years old in 1967, so most of my most intense listening (teenage and college years) was in stereo.I now noticed that it was in fake pseudo-stereo, which I don't think I even noticed when I first got it. What I would like to see are 2xLP and 2xCD sets where the original mono and stereo mixes are each on their own discs, so fans can enjoy both without having to shell out for boxsets or limited run editions. I know there are some releases that just took the Lingasong fake stereo and folded the L and R channels together to make "extra fake mono". Though, of course, taste is a matter of subjective preference, so there's no shame in enjoying the stereo mixes of earlier Beatles records.
