I also have read that different takes were used in some places on the stereo mixes.

Thanks Chris.
I'm happy with my mono box set and stereo copies of Abbey Road and Let It Be. The clarity of the sound does vary hugely, but I think that a lot of the indistinctness on some tracks is deliberate.
YMMV, but life is too short for me to spend too much time fretting on mono vs. stereo semantics. I've got my Beatles catalogue; move on...
Incidentally, what on earth is Revolution 9 about? Is is purely a revolt against the norms of music?

Revolution 9 was supposed to be an extended ending to revolution, but what it ended up being is a result of what happens when Yoko Ono gets involved.
Oh No It's Yoko!

Oh No It's Yoko! Over and above introducing John to the avant garde, Yoko's input to the track is fairly minimal - it's primarily a Lennon / Harrison piece (although credited to Lennon / McCartney, it would seem 'Macca' had nothing to do with it). The Beatles were laready using musique concrete techniques (eg the instrumental break on "Being for the Benefit of mr Kite") and it would be fair to say that this was a logical development of that. In addition, George was into more experimental stuff; as well as his "Wonderwall" and "Electronic Sounds" albums, he introduced the Moog synth to Beatles music on "Abbey Road". If you like "Revolution 9", you should also check out Lennon's first 3 albums; "Two Virgins", "Life with the Lions" and "Wedding Album" which take the ideas even further.

Anyone noticed the nasty feedback on Lennon's mike on "Across the Universe"? It surely isn't there on either the 1987 CD version or the "Naked" version of Let It Be. Shrill sound, very unpleasant through my DSP7000s. Maybe the original vocal mix was plagued by the song mike standing too close to the monitor - or something?
