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.”

Another point of interest is that a mastering engineer’s client can have a significant effect on the final product. If Apple was not so set on retaining the original EQ, I think that the Abbey Road engineers would have produced an even better sounding suite of albums. But then, we wouldn’t be listening to The Beatles as we know them. For the audiophile, is that a bad thing? You decide. 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 ] She's A Woman - the true stereo version previously available just in Australia and in Singapore/Malaysia/Hong Kong. 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 Ultratop.be – The Beatles – The Beatles In Mono" (in Dutch). Hung Medien. Retrieved 29 September 2023.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.

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). Everyone knows these 70-80s HM cuts sound great, and they really do. It always takes a new release for me to appreciate how well this set was made. 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.

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. Haber, Dave (26 August 2009). "Update: Beatles Mono Box sold-out at more retailers now" . Retrieved 28 August 2009. 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 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]

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. Oricon Weekly Album Charts for the third week of September 2009". Oricon (in Japanese) . Retrieved 1 October 2009. 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. 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 Beatles are finally emerging onto streaming services but, if you want quality stereo Beatles recordings, vinyl is surely your option. But which pressing is best? The latest Abbey Road suite of pressings or older, more collectable, releases? Paul Rigby talks to Abbey Road about the latest pressings and undertakes detailed A-B comparisons with older releases to get to the sonic truthSgt. 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.

Another reason has been the demands of Apple: that amalgamation of the remaining Beatles plus the estates of the rest. Apple want any Beatles recordings to have a particular ‘sound’, a traditional presentation based upon the original recordings which, to some extent, constrained the mastering engineers at Abbey Road. To get the required sound required a considerable amount of EQ (Equalisation: boosting or reducing the levels of different frequencies in a signal), “To physically do this in real time whilst cutting from the original analogue masters would have been almost impossible to do,” said Magee. Find sources: "The Beatles in Mono"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( March 2023) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) According to Magee, you’re far better having a decent ADC (Analogue-to-Digital Convertor, a high-specification Prism, in Abbey Road’s case) and a clean 24bit signal to capture all of those extra sonic highs, “The reason 24bit is important is because, in 16bit audio CD play, when you get down to indus 50Hz something then you start getting quantisation. The signal can’t make up its mind whether it’s a one or a zero. You end up with a buzzy sound. At 24bit, you get no perceivable noise.”

P.S.I Love You should have been * listed as mono it's not and of course the forever mono mystery of She Loves You, 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. Morris, Christopher (3 September 2009). "EMI to press more 'Beatles in Mono' ". Variety . Retrieved 5 September 2009. Help! 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.
