This is an interesting question. I think some of the early Les Baxter LPs in MONO sound sensational. Now, come to think of it, I'm not sure if all of them are available in stereo, but in any case, Capitol did mono really, really well, so I don't feel "robbed" or anything picking up mono copies. You can hear really deep into the mix. But some of the early Capitol stereo records unfortunately didn't hold up well, and have a weird groove distortion. Or at least that's what I've found.
