Eleanor Rigby stereo is atrocious.

Edit: unfortunately I’ve been having to turn the “mono” audio option on my phone on to listen to the pre-Sgt. Peppers albums in mono, since Spotify doesn’t have that version.

Also I love the 50th anniversary remix for Sgt. Peppers and it’s my go-to version for every song except for “She’s Leaving Home”. They sped that one up for some odd reason and it sounds very strange to me.

I also much prefer Let It Be… Naked over the Phil Spector version. I can’t even listen to the original album’s “The Long and Winding Road” anymore.

You can buy the 2014 vinyl mono box set if you really want to. It has all of the original mono mixes fully restored. Downmixing on your phone gets the job done but isn’t the same as listening to the original mono mix that was supervised by the Beatles themselves.

And I’m partial to Let It Be… Naked. I prefer the title track on the original and a few others that I can’t recall but love the inclusion of “Don’t Let Me Down” on Naked among the superior mixing on some other tracks.
