TEN YEARS AFTER UK MONO DML 1015 VS. UK STEREO SML 1015

Sat down to search for distinguishable differences between the formats from UK 1st press mono and stereo copies, but don't get a lot. Connecting the channels on the stereo gives about the same result as the mono. "Losing The Dogs" mono has about six seconds longer fade out and a couple of the other tracks deviates about a second or so. There are also some miniscule distinctios in reverb, volume and balance so with all certainty separate mixes, but not by much. I guess most owners of mono buttons would get about the same pleasure by just pushing those as from the real deal. But when unhanding the button more differences occur. Albeit the stereo played as it should is totally ok without too much panning giving a natural flow most of the time, the mono sounds more pristine all the way and hit me harder. So if I have to choose - mono it is! EU 2015 2xCD (Deram 472643-8) came with both mono and stereo version plus single edits and some BBC live takes. First US on Deram (DE 16009/DES 18009). Premiere UK had labels as shown here and laminated covers. (DÄRR*) (MÅW*) (CPYC*)(XYÄ*)
