As stated above I think some of the early tracks were recorded in true stereo (even tho there were mono mixes made too) but The Stones (also as stated above before Aftermath) recorded all over the place. There has been much argument here if anything after around "Beggars" are just fold downs on the MONO releases as "Satanic" (last MONO release in the US) thru "Bleed" were released in MONO in the UK and elsewhere. All I know is the MONO Beggars, Bleed and Promo Only "SF" MONO kick ass!! Just like the Mono 45 release of "Tumbling Dice" has a "hot" sound to it that the LP just can't match....all my opinion of course...

That stereo version of Get Off of My Cloud gets my vote for WORST EVER remix EVER. They took the balls off the great '65 mix; just neutered it, somehow trying to, what?, improve it (???) with that thin echo-y guitar on the channel out there all by itself. It went from driving pre-punk rock to something more like...Cher.
Seriously, who was responsible for that?
