Just compared to IATW Horzu stereo to box set mono. IMO the mono sounds more impactful b/c of mono mix, but also cleaner, if you will. Now, of course, this is a high effects track, John's voice throughout, & all kinds of other stuff thrown in the pot, but on the new mono, the effects sound like individual effects, not so much of a hash as you say. The background voices are really good, too, "OOO-Oooo-ooh", very full & like they were put thru some kind of Leslie effect. Strings are great & Ringos drums are dynamic w/bass drum sounding punchier & more well defined. Also listened to orig UK Parlophone 7" EP 45rpm mono version. Though it has age & wear issues, clearly the new pressing used the orig mono master & sought to present the orig musical "intention", as Berkowitz & Magee, project supervisor & mastering engineer, put it. An insanely good value at the price. JMHO.

I played all versions on my Nott Horizon with ADC XLMII, Boozhound phono pre, Yam C6 preamp/M4 amp, & KLH 6 spkrs.
