That's correct, but sometimes the mono mix is better. Since this was
intended as a single, the stereo mix may have been made some time later on.
If the engineer from the mono mix session did not leave detailed notes (and
why would he?), the engineer doing the stereo mix could easily miss small
things that had been done. Things like compress the vocal, and prefer one
of two very similar vocal tracks, and add this kind of reverb... these are
things that good engineers could do differently.
