For more on the issue itself please check post on the UK export stereo. After listening to this US mono several times and enjoying what seems like a true mono mix I thought it'd be redundant to do a track by track comparison, but I did anyway just to be sure. And though the differences aren't huge they're there to comfirm the formats were handeled separately. Fade-outs are about the same, only a couple deviate and then only miniscule. The difference lays in balance and clarity. Though the stereo is an ok compatible connecting the channels makes some of it sound slightly muddy and balance, even if acceptable, diverge from the mono - e.g. from a fold the vocals in "Museum" gets more buried in the mix while the mono has them loud and clear. Not sure if just contrasting balance would be enough to prove separate mixes, or if it's a result of limiting, but it's evident the mono isn't a stone cold fold and that's good enough for me. This mono only released in US and Canada (Quality Records V1808). Premiere US had label as shown here and stickered glossy cover with MGM ad inner. (HÄHX*) (ÖXCÅ*) (YZÄ*) (CPYC*) (MÅW*)
