Anyone that has this can tell me if it is a mono or stereo release? Thank you!

The deadwax doesn’t lie. You have the right record with switched inner sleeve.

These Capitol Wally mastered represses from 1987-1988 although they are digital sound great. Might be a great substitute for the 2014 mono or an original UK press but it looks like these are starting to get scarce, too. It is another option for this... See full review

I think a repress as there is no change to the content except the cover. If the vinyl was changed in any way then reissue. Unless you consider it a reissue for the change in the cover? I don’t know if I helped or confused things more!

No doubt the FrenchBarclay is the best mono and I was surprisingly impressed by a 1967 US Mono Terre Haute. Can’t comment on the earlier UK Tracks monos. Never heard any of them. I thought this one not bad at all but not up to those I just... See full review

I have many different editions of this album, mono and stereo, as this is a desert island album for me. I have found this edition my go to mono copy, including the MOFI. I tend to like the MOFI stereo better than it’s mono sister album. You can’t... See full review

I have to disagree with the prior reviewer that this original UK stereo is as poorly recorded as noted. I, too, have the Sundazed mono (which I love) and the MoFI 45s and SACD. I will have to do a shootout but I can’t remember having this positive... See full review

I had a 2008 Wes Garland National pressed (this one) which also was good and did stumble on a Kevin Gray, who cut the lacquers. It likely Bob Irwin mastered it as it is a Sundazed and I hear Bob is connected to the Columbia Sony people. Sounds... See full review

You are kidding me right? I ecco what other reply indicated all around. Of the many copies I have this is my go to. I play it much more than the MOFI and only play the original near as much. Must be your copy or your set up.

I told myself that I did not need the vinyl and would only get the SACDs. The Bellman pressings were very good and that was that. Then this one was on sale at a local store for $80. I know all about MOFI being less that forthright about their... See full review

I have a pressing with variant 2 for side 1 and variant 1 for sides 2-4. Otherwise, all of the other marking on the sleeve and label match what is noted above. In addition, on the sleeve it is noted to be a Don Mills pressing. The stereo editions I... See full review

Your appears to be a Monarch pressing. Monarch is generally considered on of the better pressing plants. There should be a different entry for that one. I found this: https://www.discogs.com/release/1021858-Aretha-Franklin-Live-At-Fillmore-West

What you have stated about the originals is exactly why I won’t be buying the new Analogue Productions vinyl at $150 a pop. I have gotten the first two SACDs so far and they sound great but $35 vs. $150 with VG+ 1st releases for each is overkill. I... See full review

Deeppurple44 seems to have a very similar analysis of what he heard to my own and my equipment (and likely mono cartridges and preamp) is much more modest than his. I think that tells me the tapes now have issues that are hard to improve on. This... See full review

My sentiments exactly. Best stereo vinyl now but the 67 US stereo tri-color isn’t that far behind but is clearly in second. “Desert island” album even if not an audiophile quality recording. Top 5 all time.

I was able to pick up a VG+ copy of this pressing for a reasonable price. I was a little hesitant as it was not a Wly and saw no reviews. All I knew of Ken Perry’s work as a mastering engineer was he did the original Rumours (pretty good!) but... See full review

I think you you have the US edition 2022 https://www.discogs.com/release/25811740-The-Rolling-Stones-More-Hot-Rocks-Big-Hits-Fazed-Cookies

You mean Terre Haute? Santa Maria is considered one of the best pressing facilities of that time. Sellers playing on audiophiles wish to say they have a Santa Maria but this is gouging. But, yes there in NO WAY you pay 4 times as much as for a... See full review

I am shocked this one has no reviews! A serious winner and in my opinion beats all the stereos including the MOFI and Friday Music. No surprise that Kevin Gray cut the lacquers. But, with a mono cartridge or mono switch it is very punchy and rocks... See full review

You have you chance to get the 45 for a limited time at Acoustic Sounds! I did not find the 45 mono any better than the 33 AP and I like the flow of the 33 more rather than flipping sides on 2 LPs. To each either own. Both are very good.

I was very impressed by this remaster. For all the adverse reviews I note I only can ask 1) Are you playing with a mono cartridge? 2) Do you have a mono button on your preamp and is it being used? I am just not hearing any of what is being noted... See full review

Did you play with a mono cartridge or have a mono button on your preamp? You might be surprised at the difference. Kevin Gray cut the lacquers, too. My experience was very different to the positive.

This is a winner. On other Hendrix AYE remaster entries I see the mono get panned pretty badly in reviews. The first time I listened I did so inadvertently with a stereo cartridge and with the mono button off and was underwhelmed- I think you need... See full review

Outstanding sounds and both the mono and stereo. Nice and clear and vibrant. Love the mono and wanted it to rip to my phone. The stereo is no slouch either. Hard to find a good price on this one. Worth it, though, for this classic in both formats.
