I have a first press mono pressing. Sounds better than any stereo mix I've heard.

Well if you're talking about the 1996/30th anniversary version then I would agree but all in all this was recorded and mixed in mono and was meant to be listened to in mono.
>listening to Sloop John B in stereo
I love the stereo mix of every other song but the stereo mix of Sloop John B is god awful.

sloop john b is ruined by the awful vocals
Mono pressing still reigns supreme, whole album was mixed in mono after all. I'm sure there's some decent stereo mixes since it's much easier to translate a mono mix to stereo than vice versa
Stereo mixes are always better. There's more room for the instruments to breathe and be distinct.

This. When Brian Wilson or other contemporary musicians post-65 were putting together their most revolutionary musical ideas, they weren't thinking in terms of 1 track. You simply can't hear everything they wanted you to hear.
