Is Early Stereo Bad? - Significantly Different Mono/Stereo Mixes on Records

During the infancy of stereo - particularly in the mid to late 60s - albums were mixed in mono and stereo, respectively.

This often led to some interesting differences between the mono and stereo version of a record. In extreme cases, songs had alternate parts or a drastically different mix.

In today's video, we explore just a few examples where the mono version of a recording is significantly different to the stereo release.

Examples are included from The Beatles in mono, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane and Bob Dylan...

In many cases, the mono version was the main mix, with the stereo version being somewhat of an afterthought. As stereo eventually became the main format, many of these earlier mono releases became somewhat forgotten by anyone who consumes their music entirely through digital streaming.
