Mono/Stereo Differences:

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"The mono version has a more prominent guitar towards the end, which is barely audible on the stereo version.

"Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"The vocal has a noticable echo on the mono version, which is not heard on the stereo version. This gives the mono version a dreamier quality.

"She's Leaving Home"The song is noticeably slowed down in the stereo mix, therefore the mono version sounds much faster.

"Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

(Reprise)"On the mono version the audience sounds begin more sharply, the drum intro is 4 drumbeats longer, and there are some words spoken by John and some audience laughter ALL of which are missing from the stereo mix.

Paul's ad-lib at the end is almost inaudible in stereo is quite clear in mono.

The transition from "Good Morning" is not as smooth on the mono release.
