I agree with you about mono/stereo. I prefer mono myself, but your post
made me think about all of the fans of the American albums who were
having orgrams all over themselves last year when they were finally
released. Ugh! They still sound like shit. I can't understand why
anyone would listen to them in lieu of the British albums.
