The LP label of the original 1966 LP says Stereophonic, but the reissue description on CDJapan says Mono, is this a discrepancy?
The thing is that most tracks on that album were never issued in stereo. Electronically Reproduced Stereo - possible. True wide stereo - not a chance for all tracks.Quote

Maybe that's why it was cancelled?

SHM CD has nothing to do with surround sound. SHM (Super High Material) is just a special material that allows less number of errors during production and playback.Quote

I don't understand why you would want mono tracks on SHM CD. I have some mono Spencer Davis tracks on a Steve Winwood SHM CD collection. They're nice, and clean, but the selling point for SHM CD is the glorious surround sound.
I would say both OOOH can be found in mono and fake (electronically reproduced) stereo. There are only a few tracks from that album that were mixed in true stereo and widely availableQuote

There are many discrepansies when it comes to Mono vs Stereo and the ROlling Stones. Both versions of Out of our heads can be found in both stereo and mono
even though we know that there never were a true stereo version of that album.
Looking at early Stones on Spotify there is often remarks like "mono version" when we all know that there is just a mono version available, but sometimes it says so but it actually is the stereo version. Very confusing. I wonder what they mean. COuld it be so that Out of our heads in stereo has stereo grooves but with the same signal in both so the end result is mono anyway? Would such version sound better on stereo equipment with a finer stylus than a mono groove record with such stylus???

I messaged the eBay seller (japanmonostyle) to inquire about the details and availability, but didn't get a reply.

I.e. in theory and on high quality equipment you will get better sound no matter mono or stereo. As a matter of fact mono CD in redbook format means you will have two channels (left and right) with absolutely identical digital content (no phase or volume shift, no pressing or read errors). These conditions (in theory) can be achieved better on SHM CD.

Yes, you will get the best mono sound you can get. But it's not worth it to have it on SHM CD. That's why I don't bother to get earlier Stones work on SHM CD. There's not enough extra oomph there over the 2002 ABKCO SACD to justify the extra expense. Or even some West German CDs of the early work. I don't go by what I'm supposed to hear, I go what I hear.
Most probably, that is a 'Frankenstein' from Got Live EP. But somebody who owns original Japanese LP can give you better answer.Quote

I noticed at Side 1 the medley I'm alright-Everybody needs somebody to love (2:54) and that puzzles me. What was the origin of this track and where has it been released elsewhere?
