The mono edition of this album is ridiculously rare - surviving IA paperwork suggests only very few were pressed as white label promos for AM radio, and even fewer as mono stock copies that were probably only sold to order. The mono mix offers a more solid sound throughout, with a notably heavier bass mix compared to its stereo counterpart. There are also some obvious differences to the mono mix: the jug on 'She Lives (In a Time of Her Own)' is far more prominent; Levitation has a double tracked lead vocal; Roky's harmonica solo on 'I Had to Tell You' is far clearer.
