I just cleaned and listened to the Blue Box "Abbey Road" LP, and I still prefer the Apple mono UK version the best.
The instrument and voice volumes on the Blue Box are balanced like the Apple UK, but I do not like hard right and hard left of the stereo Blue Box. The Blue Box is not as clear as the Apple UK, but it is better than the Mobile Fidelity.
The bass is not overblown, but still not as clear as the Apple UK.
For me, I rank the releases as best down to the worst:
Mono Apple UK
Capitol Stereo SO 383 1969
Blue Box BC13
Mobile Fidelity MFSL 1-023
IMHO of course. You have more listening experience than me.
