In some parts of this album, such as the chorus of the title track, the mono version has a dreamy almost chorused effect which seems to be missing on the stereo mix. I own a 1st press stereo on Parlophone & a mono also on Parlophone from the mono box set.
Has anyone else noticed this? It's very interesting.
And don't get me wrong. The stereo & mono versions are mostly different, rather than saying one is better.
The Beatles also payed much more attention to the mono mixes up through the White Album as far as I've heard & read. The book that comes with the mono box set, & The Beatles "Recording" book explain a lot of interesting facts about their recording methods & mixes. And I can't forget the book "The Beatles Gear".
Regardless, I along with millions of others love Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.
IMHO, How can you not love it? It's a true musical masterpiece that will always seem to hold up to the true test of time.
