Everyone on SH.tv seems to be of the opinion that the mono mix of Again is superior. I've never heard it. Is it all it's cracked up to be? Any major differences?

I've only listened to it a few times, but...
Mr. Soul (yet *another* mix) is interesting. Same basic tracks as the stereo, but a few differences in mixing.
Hung Upside Down seems a bit stronger/harder in mono, IIRC.
Other than that, I don't remember anything blowing me away. That's not to say I wouldn't enjoy an official release (a lot more worthwhile than the first album in mono, IMO), but I don't think it's *that* big of a deal.

I've got it on LP. I like the mix a lot, but I haven't compared it to the stereo extensively.

So the mono album mix of Mr. Soul is different from the mono single mix, or did I misunderstand you? Do you remember what the difference is? And is that also the case with Bluebird?
(I have Leppo's once-posted-then-deleted .wav download of the 45 mix, and it rocks!)
