Cannonball Adderley's "Somethin Else"... Mono?

Been enjoying Cannonball's LP's lately and want to pick this one up. It comes in both Stereo or Mono. Which might be the better choice? Was it offered both ways when new? Which is the "real" version? I have a few Mono's from this era that sound awesome. Sonny Rollin's "Saxaphone Collosus" comes to mind. It really lit up the room last night. Explosive, dynamic, real, drum kit and horns in the room. Absolute analog Magic! I don't mind missing the imaging thing if the Mono is more exciting. Anyone have experience with these Lp's? Thanks in advance for any input

"I think "Somethin Else" is right up there with "Kind of Blue".

I remember when I 1st bought my vinyl copy at a stereo shop in Pittsburg, the owner said to me; "'Something Else' is like 'Kind Of Blue' Pt. II'. The fact is, it's really not. Similar in certain ways but musically, they're very different. Both very excellent, but different.
