You may find the copy you thought was inferior sounds better after inverting the phase. I have the stereo double LP and it definitely sounds more natural that way. I have read accounts on-lone that a good portion of this recording has inverted phase, not sure why.

I had a version of this on vinyl - the Living Stereo one, # LOC-6006. It's not in pristine shape but still sounds OK. I know this one is listed as "mono" but it says Living Stereo, so is it some kind of enhanced mono?
But this weekend I saw another version at a garage sale without the Living Stereo label # LSO-6006. I think this one actually sounds better - maybe it's just a cleaner record. This is listed as the stereo version.
So, which one is supposed to be the better version and the one to keep?
