"South of the Border" MONO Vinyl LP QUESTION

[AudiophilePhil]

I've been looking for an LP pressing of "South of the Border" with the spoken intro to "Numero Cinco."
Does the MONO version of "South of the Border" Vinyl LP has the Spanish Mexican spoken Intro?
Do the MONO versions all have that intro or just some mono pressings have it?
Is it the only difference the MONO pressing has compared to the STEREO pressing? Sound-wise, which pressing do you prefer?
As a side note, my Japanese CD of "South of the Border" has the spoken intro to "Numero Cinco" but it's a stereo mix.

Thanks,
AudiophilePhil

We once thought that all mono pressings had the spoken intro. Then, in a shipment of mono albums from an eBay seller, I received one which doesn't have it. Thus, we can conclude that not all mono pressings have the spoken intro.

So, there's no way to determine if a sealed copy has the spoken intro?
It just a matter of chance.

Looks that way, unfortunately.
