Recommended Pressing of Sgt Pepper's

IMHO
The early UK pressing are the best and most expensive then the Japanese, then other European recordings and last are the US pressing. Mono is best in the same order. The Beatles records, all of them up to the White Album were recorded in mono then channeled or remixed into stereo. They were mixed to sound there best in mono because at that time young people listened to there music on mono transister radio's or on there car radio's that were mostly mono also. IMHO they sound best in mono not stereo.

Were you even alive when Sgt. Pepper's came out? You obviously don't know anything about it. The Sgt. Pepper's album was among the first to use multi-channel tape, and there was quite a bit of news about it at the time.

"John Lennon - "you haven't even heard Sgt Peppers till you've heard it in mono"

Don't make me laugh. He never said any such thing.

Uranium: In fact, Lennon's endorsement of mono version over the stereo version is widely quoted. In fact, the Wikipedia article on Sgt Pepper's -- which you seem to think is authoritative (at least when it supports your point) -- notes, as i did previsouly, that the members of the Beatles DIDN'T EVEN ATTEND THE MIXING OF THE STEREO VERSION. I'll bet that, if Lennon gave a sh*t how the stereo version sounded, he would have showed up to at the mixing, as he did for the mono version.

There's this thing called google.com where you can actually look stuff up to see if you are right before you insult people. Try it some time.
