"Axis" didn't get a mono release in the U.S. "Are You Experienced" did, but it seemed to be a very limited press run. Rare as hen's teeth these days.
Haven't heard the entire Crazy World of Arthur Brown lp, Jim. I've got some of it on 8 track, unbelievably.  Have to give it another listen.

There have to be exceptions to every rule...........
I'm listening to the dreadful Mono CD re-master of "Beatles For Sale" right now. The scratchy Parlophone stereo version in my stacks is much
better.
This was the first Beatles album to be fully recorded in four track. Despite the dismissal the stereo mix receives in Lewisohn's book, It wasn't the slapdash "anything'll do" treatment that he implies. It's well balanced and soundstaged, without the twin track effect. (ie. vocals to one side, instruments on the other.) The overall sound is spacious and doesn't suffer from the horrid, deadening compression that seems to be all over the Mono.
E.M.I. and the surviving Beatles keep dropping hints about revising their catalogue. I'll believe it when I see/hear it. 
Peace!
-R.A.L.
