Yeah, His Majesty, I guess you're right. There also some mono versions on these boots, so maybe I got a little bit confused. I like these alternate mixes btw., they make for a fresh listening experience.

Mr Echo - I have never really noticed a huge divide between voice/guitar/harmonica etc. on the stereo versions of Dylan's early acoustic stuff. However, you've given me food for thought, so I'll definitely go back and listen to both the mono and stereo versions to compare and enjoy. I do like the mono mix on John Wesley Harding - definitely tougher and chunkier on the bottom end than the stereo.

I bought my last Stones-album on Mono 1967, Between the buttons, and it sounds beautiful. From 1968 it was almost impossible to find Mono-recordings from Decca...I would never buy a Mono-box on CD...does it sounds like an LP? I haven't met any people at my age (57) buying this CD-boxes since we know how it should sound when it't real stuff...

Bob Dylan re-released his mono albums (everything from 1962–1968) both on CD and on vinyl in 2010 ("The Original Mono Recordings"-Box). The vinyl re-release is an all-analogue production, nothing was pressed from digital files, everything came from the original analogue masters. Furthermore the original artwork of the LPs was re-created in every little detail, they even reproduced the original inner sleeves and inserts and used the correct paper stock. It's like having the LPs as they appeared in stores in the 1960s. The Dylan Mono-Vinyl-Box is one of the best, if not the best vinyl reissue of 1960s rock music. The Rolling Stones' UK DECCA mono LPs (1964–1969) deserve the same treatment.
