On headphones, I could tell you if they were stereo or mono within a couple of seconds. FWIW, I've never seen a mono copy of Abbey Road.
But you gotta love those catalog numbers. I bought a copy of the Foundations LP Build Me Up Buttercup from Discogs and was majorly disappointed to find it in mono. The sleeve says "Stereo," the catalog number is the same for mono and stereo, apparently all of the sleeves have "stereo" on them regardless of what's inside the jacket. The only way to be sure it's stereo (and there is a stereo mix) is to look at the LP itself. If it doesn't say "Stereo" on the label, then it isn't stereo.
Just to make things even weirder, I've got some Prestige jazz two-fers, issued in the 1970s. One of them has "Mono" on the label even though the recording is stereo, another is the opposite.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
