DAVID BOWIE/THE WORLD OF DAVID BOWIE UK MONO PA 58 VS. UK STEREO SPA 58

                                                                               

 When posting the mono version long time ago I felt convinced it was filled with separate mono mixes https://monolover.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-world-of-david-bowie-pa-58-70-uk.html. Not only because Bowie himself was involved in the preparations and the fact that all tracks already existed in mono, but not all in stereo. I was also seduced by the excellent mono audio - strong with perfect balance. Now sadly I must admit - I was wrong. After getting a first press stereo and comparing the two I can find no differences between the mono and the stereo played using mono button. In fact playing it in stereo or mono doesn't matter much either, same width, power and balance. There are stereo effects, but you have to listen close to get them. And now I'm curious - was the stereo version of his debute Deram album such a good compatible, or were the mixes altered here to fit both formats? Unfortunately I would need to find a playable original of his debute album to be absolutely sure and don't think that will happen within my budget, so it'll stay unanswered for now. But if anyone reading this has the debute LP and knows - please comment and tell!   (WÖF*)  (UKÖ*)  (PÖP*)  (YMÖ*)  (PKÅ*) (MÅW*)
