BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD/BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD AGAIN (-68) 588091 UK STEREO VS. 587091 UK MONO

After posting the UK mono a couple of years ago I got some helpful comments convincing me it wasn't a straight fold, due to guitar differences in "Hung Upside Down". But since that I've been eager to find a corresponding stereo to see if there was more and of course check if that had other things to offer. Now I have and to me it's evident all, or at least a large part of it, got separate treatment. Here follow just a few exemples. The "Mr Soul" mono (here titled "Hello Mr.Soul" on label) has bigger bass all through and comes on louder and tighter than what you get when connecting the channels. Folding "Sad Memory" gives a rather flat impression while the mono comes through big and clear, here the mono also has a three second longer end note. Connecting the channels on "Everydays" results in a very big bass, sounding more leveled on the mono. As a whole a fold would come on brighter and flatter, while this obviously true mono is tighter and pushier. Now skipping the folding and listening to the stereo as it was meant to be heard. And it's a good balanced one, more relaxing than the mono and further revealing. Both have their advantages, but if I was was forced to choose it'd be the mono...just for the importunate Mr. Soul.
