I have to agree with the previous commenter – this album in mono is exceptional. These are tough to track down, but worth it – more alive than any stereo copy I've personally heard.

For any listener who has let “Sorcerer” them by in any way, or has only ever experienced the album in Stereo, let me tell you right now that this record is a dark romantic mini masterpiece in Mono, minus the add-on final track, which I never play. In Mono, “Sorcerer” sounds like a “Jazz Record”; stinging and searing cymbals crash all around you, the base is full and drops below you, while “the man with the horn” pricks your ear the way that he always seems to, but in Stereo, “Sorcerer” is reduced to “background music”...Let “Sorcerer” in Mono cast it’s spell...
