metal beat Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Abbey Road and Let It Be? metal beat will know! And Yellow Submarine. All the other Beatles albums were originally released in mono with the Stereo versions later. Hence the selection of albums for the Mono set. Would be interesting to hear from some SNA members who are old enough to remember when the Beatles were releasing mono first, then the stereo versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchu Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 How does $280 sound? not too bad, but to be honest it would have to be stupidly cheap for me to get approval at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots-n-All Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Finally!! I've been waiting for this. Bought a fake mono CD set from ebay a couple years back and played it once..crap really. Are there any beatles albums that were originally recorded in stereo? M Hi there, In answer to your main question - NONE OF THEM !!!- in common with almost all pop albums these recordings were made as a series of mono recordings of the individual artists - some of whom were actually "THE BEATLES" which were then down-mixed to master tapes (some of which were mono - the rest "stereo"). The "STEREO" recordings that we are so fond of are almost entirely fakes - they were all mono recordings "mixed" to create a fake recording session that never actually happened! And the same can be said of the "MONO" recordings! - They never actually happened!!!!!! What everyone is talking about are the "MIXES" not the "RECORDINGS" - Please get it straight!!!! Rant over.

Boots (Sometimes old "Roady") Hi there, Having said the above - I have found it to be an interesting journey to listen to the albums in chronological order and appreciate the increasing sophistication of the recording & mixing techniques. My favourite album has always been "Rubber Soul" since it was the last one that could have been performed live - ie no "over dubbing" etc on most if not all of the tracks. Boots.

grifter Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Would you need a mono cart to enjoy this properly? If so, not sure if I'm in. (I have a Project Debut Carbon.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony ray Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I read on the Steve Hoffman forum that you can enjoy mono recordings by using a set of y cables between your player and phono stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
