About this deal

Dutchcharts.nl – The Beatles – The Beatles In Mono" (in Dutch). Hung Medien. Retrieved 29 September 2023. At that time [...] the console was about this big with four faders on it. And there was one speaker right in the middle [...] and that was it. When they invented stereo, I remember thinking 'Why? What do you want two speakers for?', because it ruined the sound from our point of view. You know, we had everything coming out of one speaker; now it had to come out of two speakers. It sounded like... very... naked. [11] The Beatles Box Set is a sixteen-disc box set compiling the entire recorded works of the Beatles as issued by the band between 1962 and 1970. It was released on 15 November 1988 in Britain and America, with the same catalogue number (Apple BBX2-91302) in each of those countries. [2] While available also in vinyl LP and cassette formats, the box set was the first complete collection of original Beatles material to be released by EMI and Capitol Records on compact disc.

The only processing done was a series of precise and targeted removal of sibilance which, with CEDAR Retouch software, is almost surgical in its accuracy and doesn’t affect adjacent frequencies as older systems do and did.

Vinyl - The Beatles

Baby You're A Rich Man - the true stereo version, previously found just on the German Magical Mystery Tour LP. Beatles for Sale was a -3/-4, and sounded really good. I do like the -1/-1 original better, but not by much. I think both are on par with each other. The -3 side A slightly lowered Ringo’s snare, but did offer a pleasant midrange. MFSL brightened the hell out of the album, so the original wins Sgt. Pepper was a -3/-4 and sounded really good. I still prefer the -4/-5 1980 pressing, but this one did its job. The -1/-1 original isn’t as good as its made out to be, its congested and sounds like it has been run through sandpaper. The MFSL pressing was also ruined by the bass boost. So the winner still goes to the -4/-5, but its not in the comparison list so I’ll give it to the -3/-4.Morris, Christopher (3 September 2009). "EMI to press more 'Beatles in Mono' ". Variety . Retrieved 5 September 2009. I don't think there that many NM of these out there unless you can find the set sealed, it will probably be VG+ or lower. That being said, I think they are well made. Every single record I have in the set is scuffed like hell from the paper sleeve they came in, and these sets were definitely played to death, and yet my copies have low noise floor, and some even dead-silent.

The albums Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road and Let It Be are not included in this set, as no true mono mixes of these albums were issued. The same holds true for the songs " The Ballad of John and Yoko", " Old Brown Shoe" and the single mix of " Let It Be", which were also omitted. A mono version of the Yellow Submarine album was released in the UK, but it was simply a fold-down (two stereo channels combined into one channel) from the stereo mix, not a unique and separate mono mix. Abbey Road and Let It Be were issued in the UK in mono on reel-to-reel tape and on LP in Brazil and other countries but, again, only as fold-downs from the respective stereo versions. The Beatles(Box Set, Compilation, 14×CD, Album, Enhanced, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 2×CD, Compilation, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, DVD, NTSC) Testing was undertaken over three generations of stereo pressings. I selected an original copy of With The Beatles (1963) which I proposed to test with the 1978, UK version of the EMI box set reissue (better sounding than the comparable USA and Australian versions and sourced direct from the master tapes) and the new 2012 copy. The original pressing of Magical Mystery Tour (1967) was compared directly with the new version while I also decided to undertake a more considered test with the 1978 and 2012 versions of Abbey Road (1969). Haber, Dave (26 August 2009). "Update: Beatles Mono Box sold-out at more retailers now" . Retrieved 28 August 2009. Oricon Weekly Album Charts for the third week of September 2009". Oricon (in Japanese) . Retrieved 1 October 2009.Yellow Submarine will never sound good on vinyl, but here it is. My copy was a -3/-3, and did little to improve the shitty stereo mixes presented here. Nothing is a winner, but I’d say the original -1/-1 sounded worse and the MFSL made Hey Bulldog even more listenable so I guess I’ll give it to the MFSL. Rarities was interesting. It was just a bunch of mono b sides. It wasn’t a fun listen because i kept thinking about my mono masters set. At least i have it though. Overall, this is a great sounding box. Maybe the 1980 box will sound better, but it doesn’t have these great covers so I guess nobody wins. I highly recommend this box to anyone who does not have any stereo pressings.

Was a -2/-3, and it was far superior over the original and the mfsl. You can actually hear the vocals on “The Night Before,” and the guitar on “I’ve Just Seen a Face” sounded so great. The 13 Studio Albums and Past Masters remastered in stereo using the same digital sources as the acclaimed 2009 CDs on 180g Heavyweight Vinyl Very interesting. I have three Abbey Road LPs in my collection: the original UK pressing from 1969, the Capitol ‘orange label’ pressing, and the 2012 remastered pressing sourced from the 24 bit/44.1 kHz. To my ears, the original pressing sounds superior to any other pressing I’ve ever heard. The Capitol ‘orange label’ sounds quite good, except for the way too boomy bass.Couple of minor issues that I found, other than the fairly poor looking covers, are "In My Life" which sounds quite muddy and "Good Day Sunshine" which suffers from sibliance on the "s" sounds during the chorus.

John Lennon did not like the stereo mix of his song " Revolution" on the 1967-1970 compilation album. Lennon stated during a 1974 interview: The set debuted at number 40 on Billboard's Top 200 chart and the magazine reported that 12,000 copies were sold in its first week of release. [17] [18] In Japan, it debuted at number 10, selling over 20,000 copies in its first week on the Oricon album charts. [19] The set was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in April 2010. [20] Charts [ edit ] Chart (2009) It so happened that the complex EQ applications had already been done for the CD version, “To use the 192kHz sources now would have entailed recreating the EQ source that we did at 24bit/44.1kHz, which wasn’t viable.” Hernandez, Raoul (2 October 2009). "Review: The Beatles, The Beatles in Mono". The Austin Chronicle . Retrieved 19 November 2014. Remastered using digital source ( used for CD's in 2009) ??? So, what is the purpose of pressing it on vinyl ?

The Beatles was a -1/-3/-1/-2 pressing. I love this album, the -1/-1/-1/-1 original is a fantastic pressing. Good thing side 1 and 3 carried the -1 originals, because they sounded the best. Side 2 and 4 did need a recut, so this box pressing came in clutch and was the best one. The MFSL was just bloated, just not as good as the UK pressing was.
