Releasing a record in Mono?

I was thinking about doing a record in mono... I want to remove that spacial quality of stereo as odd as this sounds, and I want to capture a sort of ancient pre-garage-garage sound to it... like early stones lps.

Is this insane or has anyone else done this on purpose?

Good luck with all the phase issues when using multiple mics.

I like the idea. I have the Phil Spector "Back To Mono" box. What a great sound.

i remember ages ago on radio 1 in the uk, they played life in mono, by mono, in mono. though they had to fuck around with it because it was released in stereo.

not helpful, but it reminded me of it

figure out how to record in like negative three-o. then you'll have something noteworthy.

dude that's the kissing disease, you've got cooties.

I've got Smashing Pumpkins Adore on Vinyl, in mono.

Good stuff.

Well, LOTS of people have done it. I have recorded in mono and know people who have. Give it a try.

I've seen Mono. I've never had mono. I've never recorded in mono, but it sounds like a cool idea.
