I like your thoughts but as I'd love to have a Black and Gold PPM I did do a side by side with a friend once of a 3rd MONO pressing which I have and his Black and Gold and sound wise it was the same, even the stamper/mothers were very close, so even though the Black and Golds are disirable the 3rd mono's sound as good for half the price.
As to your comment:
On the other hand, one advantage to the stereo pressings is that they are pretty much always more dynamic, supposedly because the mono mixes were mixed for AM radio consumption. Even in the vaunted case of the original White Album mono pressing, the stereo is far more dynamic.

That may and is true of American Beatles Lp's but I've never read or heard that any of the UK or European markets did that.

Thanks.
