"Going Mono a Mano with the Beatles", Chicago Tribune. Retrieved 1 October 2014. In 2014, five years after the initial CD release, mono editions of each of the albums were released individually in vinyl format, though the mono editions for CD were still available only in the box set. All of the USA albums were released individually on CDs containing both the mono and original stereo mixes; this is the only other way to acquire the mono mixes on CD. Overall, the 2012 vinyl discs are well pressed, quiet and detailed sounding pressings. The first run European pressings had little to no quality control issues with them. Out of my entire set, I had a copy of Abbey Road that had some noise floor issues (but was returned for a clean replacement) and the copy of Sgt. Pepper's spindle hole was too tight (which a pencil fixed). It should also be noted that due to the huge roll out (at the beginning of the vinyl revival) were a lot of quality control reports during the first release of the US pressings ( The Beatles - The Beatles) from Rainbo Records. The 13 Studio Albums and Past Masters remastered in stereo using the same digital sources as the acclaimed 2009 CD's on 180g Heavyweight Vinyl

I could post a review about how great this set is, but I’d rather share how I got the box because I still think it’s the strangest and coolest story in my vinyl collecting journey. As you can see, the mono mixes, for those early albums, were the most important. After all, mono was how most Beatles fans were listening to their music. There are plenty of minor differences between the mono and stereo mixes which can be spotted by the fan: a few extra seconds of music here, a different sound effect there. Generally speaking, more care and attention was placed upon the mono mixes for the early albums. The fast version was destroyed. It was a heavy record, but the stereo mix made it into a piece of ice-cream. [12] Limited edition [ edit ]The Beatles (commonly referred to as The White Album) was originally released in mono and stereo in the UK and several other countries, but in the United States, it was released only in stereo. However, the mono mixes of " Don't Pass Me By" and " Helter Skelter" had been previously issued in the US in 1980 on the Capitol Records Rarities compilation album.

Across The Universe - (Version 2) produced by Phil Spector. All My Loving - begins with five taps on Ringo's "hi-hat" cymbal.Audiophiles will be happy to hear that no compression has been added to the vinyl masters while a decision to use DMM cutting process to enhance extra detail on the inner groove was rejected by Apple in favour of the warmer sound of lacquers. 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. The 13 Studio Albums and Past Masters remastered in stereo using the same digital sources as the acclaimed 2009 CDs on 180g Heavyweight Vinyl If you do want that "original pressing" sound and are willing to invest the time online, there are ways of compiling a cheaper collection that sounds closer to the original UK stampers. There are a lot of options around the world of great sounding reissues and some of the original stampers stayed in production for many years, with the original cutting engineers recutting into the 1980s! Then there is always the option of spending top dollar on original UK pressings (which are near impossible to find in NM condition). With the Beatles was a -3/-4 cutting. I have 3 different WTB pressings that have a -4 side 1. I’ll give it to HTM, -4 sounds great. But -3 wasn’t the best. It was too hot. Again, I would take the MFSL over both. The MFSL mastering worked well for the hard panned albums. The boxed set was released on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl on 8 September 2014, with each disc mastered directly from analog tape sources, rather than the digital remasters used for the CD release.
