Who REALLY prefers PMC 7027 to the PCS?

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Even for a rush job, the stereo mix of Sgt. Pepper's has always been a much more captivating listening experience for me. The mono mix is fraught with errors (bad edits, mixing quirks and so forth). Not to mention the compression they used on the final mix just kills the dynamics.
Listen to the stereo copy and the bad edits are shored up, and the mix is nice and bright, dynamic, and clear as a bell. I would cite examples of the good and the bad, but I just want those who are intimately familiar with both versions to come forward and state which mix they REALLY like.
I personally think the Beatles and their camp were living in denial regarding their preference for the mono mix. They probably never did an A/B shootout, as if it's even really necessary. (no sour grapes, really)
