Volume two has a number of differences due to the fact that there are no mono versions of The Ballad of John and Yoko, Old Brown Shoe and Let It Be. That leaves 12 songs, one of which is in mono on both versions.
Again, this posting is being written in advance and posted after Shabbat.
Day Tripper – Mono. I feel more depth in the mono and the vocals out of the right on the stereo makes the mono better.
We Can Work It Out – Mono. The sound is much better in the stereo, but again, I find the vocals out of the right a problem.
Paperback Writer – Stereo. The intro is so much better in the stereo that even if the vocals had been on one side (which they are not) I would still have picked it.
Rain – Mono. Vocals out of the left makes the stereo distracting,
Lady Madonna – Tie. The mono is a great mix and the stereo sounds very similar.
The Inner Light – Stereo. The Indian sounds are so much better in the stereo.
Hey Jude – Tie. Both are super mixes.
Revolution –Stereo by far. The mono is so dull.
Get Back – Stereo. The mono is very similar just a bit duller
Don’t Let Me Down – Stereo. The stereo sound is much fuller.
Across the Universe – Mono. I don’t like all the overdubs in the stereo.
You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) is in mono on both versions.
Here are both versions of Across The Universe. You Choose!
Enjoy!

Much prefer the mono mix. I love this song… I think this is actually a masterpiece given short shrift.
