Time Out is NOT one of those records with horrible, fake, stereo effects, and I do like the stereo mix. However, to me, the stereo mix creates problems with the sound of the drums. The mono lp, played with a mono cartridge shows up the difference. I would prefer a reissue that had various mixes, with the mono mix being part of the mix.
I have heard various CD, lp and early SACD reissues of this record, and I like the original 6-eye Columbia release the most (for both stereo and mono). It could be because the master tape was still new and pristine, or it could just be mastering differences, but a bit of liveliness is gone from the reissues I heard (not really that big of a difference, but, I prefer the originals). I have not heard the recent reissues (I really don't need another copy of this warhorse); a lot of the reissues from companies like Analogue Productions do sound great so there is hope for a superior reissue.
