Yep, I'm 100% sure.
I had no idea the 2 versions existed, so when I came upon the mono version a year or two ago I posted a similar question to the OP and someone said they thought it was the exact recording on the same night at Carnegie Hall.
So I played the recordings side by side to listen for audience reactions and little inflections by HB himself and sure enough, they are identical.
Follow Ups:
Without ever having done such a meticulous comparison, because I no longer have the mono version, I would have said that, for one thing, there are more choruses on "Mathilda" in mono than on "Mathilda" in stereo. Gone are the days when anyone in his or her right mind would "run Venezuela", anyway.
I am going to have to buy an original mono version to see if there is any other reason why my memory of this LP in mono is superior to the reality of the stereo version.
I was a big Johnny Mathis fan back then, too.
Could depend on a lot of things.. Maybe your mono pressing was better/earlier on the master die (is that the correct spelling?...the metal negative that prints the vinyl). It's well known that as they spit out pressings, the quality of the copy diminishes until the metal negative "wears out" or whatever happens.
Seeing as this was the first LP to sell a million copies, I'm sure there are plenty of mono that are better than stereo and vice versa.
It may have been the first double LP to achieve a million is sales. Not sure about that. Elvis Presley RCA debut sold more than a million in 1956.
