Mono recordings


What's the attraction of mono recordings? I have a couple CDs (Pet Sounds  and Cream e.g.) that contain both stereo and mono tracks and a couple mono lps (using a stereo cartridge). I always prefer the stereo cut. What am I missing?

Actually, no; you're not getting the final word. I'm mad for mono. Love it. It's way punchier and sounds more live. Live music is in mono gents. It's not stereo. Ok fine yee naysayers, do this: play James Hunter - People Gonna Talk. All his stuff is mono I believe. Anyhoo, this release is mind blowing good in both content and production. Report back here after spinning on your Victrola.
