Mono vs stereo


Although I like stereo, often I find it contrived.  More fun than actually adding to the music realism.

I see the Beatles have a "mono" collection available.

Are there any "mono"  advocates out there? While I realize there is no "left / right" imaging, is there a sense of realism that isn't captured in stereo?

Regarding Beatles albums, the group was largely involved with Martin for the mono mixes but spent very little time, in some cases none, for the stereo mixes. They felt the true expression of the recordings were the mono versions.
