1001realapes,
Yes, I've heard it.
Most noticeably differences are on:
"Set the Controls For The Heart Of the Sun" (vibes are more prominent)
"Corporal Clegg" (with the second rhythm guitar in the background absent altogether -- it's the same sonic picture as Smith's handling of "Baron Saturday")
"A Saucerful Of Secrets" (the introduction has more cymbal/chimes sounds; the way the drums enter on "Syncopated Pandemonium" as well as their prominence)
"See-Saw" (doesn't fade as early as the stereo)
"Jugband Blues" (right before the coda "And the sea isn't green...", the jagged Barrett guitar line goes on for a precious few seconds longer.)
Altogether, the record sounds subtly different if you know the stereo version really, really well.
