Etta James - Mono vs. Stereo

Not sure.

At Last came out in 1961 and was release in Mono and Stereo on the Argo Label.

Second Time Around also came out in 1961 and was release in Mono and Stereo.

Sings for Lovers came out in 1962 and was also released in Mono and Stereo the same year it came out.   

I would think one version has to be superior but maybe not.  Trying to find listeners who've heard both and get their take on it.  

The 'Tell Mama' complete sessions and the Chessbox both sound good to me (on CD). Anybody chime in about orig Mama Lp quality?

I didn't like the Chess "Second Time Around", which made me start looking at the originals.  The current reissues are all digital reproductions (Waxtime, Doxo, etc) which makes me dump some serious cash for an original Etta in good condition for an analog LP. 

Are there any Etta James LP owners that own an Argo stereo LP, such as At Last, Second Time Around, or Sings for Lovers?  Wondering if the stereo is a good quality sound and not compressed.  Any help?

I have Etta's 'At Last' on Waxtime and it's vile, almost unlistenable. Several songs have a nasty rumble in them also.
