Editorial Reviews

The Beatles in mono: This is how most listeners first heard the group in the 1960s, when mono was the predominant audio format. Up until 1968, each Beatles album was given a unique mono and stereo mix, but the group always regarded the mono as primary. THE BEATLES IN MONO VINYL BOX SET is released in mono on fourteen 180-gram vinyl LPs with faithfully replicated artwork, newly mastered from the analogue master tapes.

In an audiophile-minded undertaking, The Beatles' acclaimed mono albums have been newly mastered for vinyl from quarter-inch master tapes at Abbey Road Studios by GRAMMY®-winning engineer Sean Magee and GRAMMY®-winning mastering supervisor Steve Berkowitz. While THE BEATLES IN MONO CD boxed set released in 2009 was created from digital remasters, for this new vinyl project, Magee and Berkowitz cut the records without using any digital technology. Instead, they employed the same procedures used in the 1960s, guided by the original albums and by detailed transfer notes made by the original cutting engineers.

Working in the same room at Abbey Road where most of The Beatles' albums were initially cut, the pair first dedicated weeks to concentrated listening, fastidiously comparing the master tapes with first pressings of the mono records made in the 1960s. Using a rigorously tested Studer A80 machine to play back the precious tapes, the new vinyl was cut on a 1980s-era VMS80 lathe.

Manufactured for the world at Optimal Media in Germany, The Beatles' albums are presented in their original glory, both sonically and in their packaging. The boxed collection's exclusive 12-inch by 12-inch hardbound book features new essays and a detailed history of the mastering process by award-winning radio producer and author Kevin Howlett. The book is illustrated with many rare studio photos of The Beatles, fascinating archive documents, and articles and advertisements sourced from 1960s publications.

Albums included in the box set are REVOLVER, MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR, RUBBER SOUL, WITH THE BEATLES, MONO MASTERS (3LP SET), THE BEATLES (2LP SET), BEATLES FOR SALE, SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND, PLEASE PLEASE ME, HELP! and A HARD DAY'S NIGHT.

4.0 out of 5 starsFor those that bought the stereo vinyl box set and are on the fence about this one
By Red on September 11, 2014
Format: Vinyl Verified Purchase
This review is for the consumers (like me) that bought the stereo vinyl box set back in 2012 and are now on the fence about buying this new mono vinyl set. I bought this because, (if nothing else) I couldn't resist wanting to hear `how the Beatles originally recorded and intended their albums to be heard.' The set being mastered direct from the `original master tapes' didn't hurt either. Impressive stuff! Mixes recorded before my time that I never heard before! I couldn't resist...

In short I'm not going to write an album by album review because their all good. The pressings I received are mostly quiet and flat (with the exception of Sgt. Pepper's and The White Album that are warped. The White Album also came with bent and crushed inner sleeves hence the four star review). Certainly this set gives a much better first impression that the stereo box set pressed by Rainbo in the U.S. in 2012. These albums are lavishly produced. No detail is spared. But it's the sound quality that really counts. Was I in fact really missing something?

The mono mixes are clear but have that `boxy' flat mono sound. This of course is subjective, but if you're like me, and grew up listening to the stereo mixes I wouldn't count on this being an eye opening or earth shattering experience. There's a reason the mono format was abandoned for stereo back in 1968. Stereo (to me) has a more spacious sound that is more open and enjoyable (Beatles' records included). Sure the hard panning they used back in the 60's on some Beatles' songs can, (dare I say) be annoying at times, (vocals on one side, instruments on the other); but when you're used to hearing the music that way your whole life and it's what you are accustomed to, it ends up becoming what sounds `right.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is the motherlode ... This IS the Beatles ... all other remasters/reprintings are cheap attempts at the real thing
By C. Paige on September 9, 2014
Format: Vinyl
Alright, everyone, I'm writing this as I listen to this, so I'll edit it if my review changes.

First of all, the packaging is pristine. I have first pressings of every album except for Help!, so I can attest to the accuracy of the sleeve reproduction.

Also, in case you're wondering, here's the equipment I have: Sony STR-DN1040 7.2 Channel 1155-Watt A/V Receiver, Pioneer speakers (5.1 ... don't remember the model number), Technics SL-1200 mk2 turntable, Rolls VP29 preamp (given my crappy preamp, I'm psyched to see how this sounds with a better one)

I'm through Please Please Me and most of With the Beatles: It's all sounding tremendous.

I'm a confessed audiophile; I know what it sounds like for claps to sound sharper or the timbre of a voice to be more realistic. I'm also a completely and utterly devoted Beatles fan. Every note they ever wrote is embedded into my bones. Suffice it to say, this is how I always knew the music could be heard. I've been searching for the elusive "perfect, authentic Beatles recording" for my entire life and, as far as sound quality and accuracy of audio reproduction is concerned, this is it.

I know you all want to know how Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's sound; I'm listening to the LPs in order. I'll update this with reviews of those once I get to them.

Oh, and the book is beautiful. It has some pictures I haven't seen before (and that's saying a lot) and it very clearly sets out the case for why the mono mixes are authoritative (for the albums included, obviously).

I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has about this amazing product.

5.0 out of 5 starsIs that really necessary ??
By JohnSpartan on September 9, 2014
Format: Vinyl
By way of introduction it would be very nice if AMAZON could remove those more than 380 reviews of digitally remastered CDs, because it's a completely different product.

I am absolutely sure that with this mono vinyl set will start another fight between mono-purists and 7.1-enthusiasts, between keepers of the Holy Beatles' Grail and "I couldn't care less" people etc.

George Harrison once said : "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." (Beatles Anthology DVD)

So The Beatles as composers and interpreters wanted it Mono at the time they created this music. And they also showed this by monitoring the Mono sound mixing while the Stereo sound mixing was done by the sound engineers only.

As the old Romans said : De gustibus non est disputandum - You may not discusss (refuse) different likings AND Suum quique - Everyone to his taste. So you should just find out the facts and let everybody decide by himself whether he likes it (or not) and wants to pay about $ 400.- for it.

Most important for me is that this set is an analogue remastering after different digital remasterings on CDs and vinyl LPs. And this is exactly how the engineers acted in the 1960s. Here they do not exchange the carburetor of an old FORD Mustang V 8 for an electronic fuel injection, but just optimize the carburetor.

I could listen and test this new set for more than two weeks, because a good friend of mine had got a precopy professionally before it was available in stores.Read more ›
