The mono version was an entirely different version than the stereo. Granted you won't hear all the special effects of the stereo mix that made the album so much fun to listen to, but you will hear the music in its pure form without the effects. Its interesting how it gives an entirely different perspective on this work. I own both the Experience Hendrix remastered CD and the mono LP, they are markedly different in character.
I've heard that the stereo version was not the original mix that Eddie and Jimi planned but was recreated from relistening to masters. The original mix was lost in a taxi cab.
In conclusion, IMHO is for Hendrix collectors, not for those who want to own 1 copy of this classic work.
