I have been listening to this LP for a few years now, but mostly in Stereo Format. My stereo

copy is pretty dodgy, and a few months back I found a very nice USA mono pressing.

I personally am not a huge Baez fan, as her quivering vocal gymnastics can grate

those  nerves in a caterwailing quality. 

And like some of the most dynamic Jazz and Classical records, it takes a pretty

special Cartridge/Stylus to track her range. 

(really, no joke, I had to play with 3 carts to get a good smooth transfer of her Sometimes-SSSSyy SSSParkle SSSaturation in her Voice delivery to get it SSSmooth and less Rasspy.. I think I got it 75% right on the transfer)

It is all the same takes, but it's a true Mono Mix. 

The Stereo doesn't

sound much different really, just the placement of the voice is off to the right a bit

and sounds further away and is a tad more naked. 

The Mono sounds (like is common) more punchy, and there is a slight bit more

Reverb added to her voice. I like the balance slightly more on the Mono mix

and this to my knowledge is the first time anyone has offered the Mono LP

online.

JOAN BAEZ DOES DYLAN, DONOVAN WITH A FEW OTHER HITS IN BETWEEN

The cover of Donovan's song "colours" is so smooth, the Acoustic bass just throbs and keeps

a great glue contrasting Joan's range.
