In my experience I find it necessary to own both the mono and stereo copies of albums that I really like. Sometimes the mono copy is sounds better, sometimes the stereo. It all depends on how it was mixed. Sometimes they are totally different recording sessions with different instrumentation. One for instance is the "Space Escapade" album by Les Baxter. The mono copy has a really cool electronic instrument playing on some tracks while the stereo copy does not. Another album by Les Baxter is "Ports of Pleasure." The mono version actually has two tracks that do not appear on the stereo copy. Sometimes even the chronological order of the songs have been changed. I have yet to compare the Tak Shindo albums. God I love vinyl!!!! Cheers and Mahalo, Jeff
