The Incredible String Band - The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter (mono)
This may sound daft, but does it sound different in mono, and do you have to just stick it through one speaker (else I suppose it'd be stereo?)
It is a dedicated mix - not a fold down. Some of it sounds very different esp. A Very Cellular Song - OTT reverb on backing vocals and editing making it slightly shorter. Elsewhere things like Jewish harp come through more in places and "Three In A Green Crown" is lovely in mono. To be honest, I only came by it the other week - second-hand - and was so curious as it is one of my desert island discs. It is only available in mono via the UK 1968 press.
