Do you have a favorite mono mix or mixes? Add your comment below. For us, the mono "Sgt. Pepper" album brings back memories of bringing home the original mono vinyl and playing it on our record player. Remember those? It was a long time (at least a year) before we heard the stereo version back then. Hearing "Lovely Rita" in stereo for the first time was quite an experience.
