There are some distinctions on the original 1st Pressing MONO version:  They include:


The gibberish in the dead space at the end of the album.

The funky backwards guitar part at the end of the opening song just before "Billy Shears."

The flangey/ADT effect on Ringo's voice during some chorus of "With A Little Help From My Friends."

The tripped out flangey vocals from the second verse out on "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds."

The change in tone in "She's leaving home" in the mono version - due to being sped up, not so dreary and long as in the stereo version.

The timing on the effects of "Mr. Kite."

The extended louder laughter on "Within You Without You."

The louder backing "oo-oo's" on "When I'm 64".

The "bleed edit" found at the beginning of the "Sgt. Pepper Reprise"; you can hear the machine flutter as it comes out of pause.

The low volume mumbo jumbo during the extended bass drum raps at the beginning of the "Sgt. Pepper Reprise".

The timing of the audiences are different on the "Reprise" section.


This is an amazing sounding album!  This is the iconic 1st Pressing MONO UK version of Sgt. Pepper.  A collector's item!
