Album Notes
Personnel: Paul McCartney (vocals, bass guitar); Ringo Starr (vocals, drums); John Lennon (vocals); George Harrison (guitar).Audio Remasterers: Sean Magee; Steve Rooke; Guy Massey; Paul Hicks.Liner Note Authors: Tony Barrow; Derek Taylor; Alan Rouse; Kevin Howlett; Tony Barrow; Kevin Howlett.Photographers: Robert Freeman; Robert Whitaker; Michael Cooper.The STEREO BOX SET be the official canon, but what Beatlemaniacs have really craved is the MONO BOX SET. This limited-edition box is laden with new-to-CD mixes, including the genuine rarities of the previously unreleased mono mixes of the four new songs from Yellow Submarine, and its packaging is gorgeous, filled with mini-LP replicas with stiff cardboard sleeves of every album from Please Please Me to The Beatles, complete with replicated gatefolds and packaging inserts, all protected in resealable plastic sleeves. As pure physical product, this satisfies any collector itch, but this also is arguably the better-sounding of the two sets, providing ample evidence that the Beatles did spend more time on mono mixes during much of their career. For generations of listeners raised on stereo mixes, there are plenty of surprises here, from the faster versions of "She's Leaving Home" and "Don't Pass Me By" to the numerous little differences that pop up on SGT. PEPPER'S, THE WHITE ALBUM, and REVOLVER, all adding up to dramatically different experiences. Sometimes, the density of mono just has more force-- "Lady Madonna" rolls like a freight train, "I'm Down" hits to the gut--and sometimes the colors just seem more vibrant; in either case, there's enough emotional difference to make this worthwhile for the dedicated, and depending on taste, it may even be preferable. But there's no question of one thing: of the two sets, as a package, the mono box is a thing to behold. And there's also no question that those who waited 22 years to hear a better version of the Beatles will not be disappointed (although they may still wonder why it took so long for the Fabs to be treated as they deserve).

A brilliant return to glorious MONO!

Created: 25/08/09
Although the Mono releases of The Beatles (as well as other artists) were phased out by 1969, this is how many people fondly remember these special recordings with great appreciation. This unique box set, "The Beatles In Mono", gathers together every album by The Beatles that were originally released in the original monaural sound. Albums in this set include "Please Please Me", "With The Beatles", "A Hard Day's Night", "Beatles For Sale", "Help!", "Rubber Soul", "Revolver", "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Magical Mystery Tour" and "The Beatles" (also known as "The White Album"). In addition to the original mono versions, both "Help!" and "Rubber Soul" also feature their original 1965 Stereo mixes, as well. Plus, there is also an extra CD included in this set, entitled "Mono Masters", which features the many varied recordings by the group that were not originally featured on the original albums. One of the true highlights of the "Mono Masters" CD is the first-time release of the songs that were specifically used for the soundtrack of the 1968 animated film "Yellow Submarine". These 4 recordings ("Only A Northern Song", "All Together Now", "Hey Bulldog", "It's All Too Much") are all presented in their original monaural mixes for the very first time, as they were scheduled to be included as part of a "Yellow Submarine" EP release in 1969. What you have here is The Beatles the way that they first sounded in the 1960's, now brought to the forefront for the 21st century. This limited edition box set is another welcome addition to the legacy of the fab four!

You need to have this!

Created: 24/03/11
I have often heard that the mono version of Sgt Pepper is the one to have. This is a great sounding version of the most iconic album of the 60's. There are many subtle and sometimes significant differences from the stereo version. For starters, this is the first time I have heard She's Leaving Home at the correct speed. For some stupid reason the stereo version most of us have heard the last 40 years is at the wrong speed and is too slow. The song has new life, Paul's voice is vital and rings like a bell. Lucy in the Sky is also very different with the vocals being flanged. I am not sure if I like it better--it is just different. It sounds more psychedelic so it's better in the sense that it conforms to John's vision. Sgt Peppers reprise is also a bit different with different crowd sounds and Paul's ad lib vocals at the end. Of course the new remastering makes this album sound great. If you are a fan you need to have this in your collection.

The Beatles mono box set

Created: 01/05/10
The advances in electronics by the time The Beatles were around were in its infancy. Stereo was barely trying to make a mark in the sound world. John, Paul, George, Ringo, George Martin and the technicians at Abbey Road were more focused on MONO SOUND at this time and this is the sound that you exactly get here. Superb. I personally like the first 5 albums. TWIST AND SHOUT comes in its purest form.....Lennon screaming the song. PLEASE MR POSTMAN's drums from Ringo are perfectly done. Even on some of the songs, you are able to hear the breathing of the boys. If only we could get in a Delorean and go back in time...........Thinking about getting this collection? DO not hasitate. Just do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will be pleasently surpised...............

The Beatles Mono Box

Created: 10/01/11
My wife and I made our first trip to London last summer and we got a chance to see many of the sites that were part of the Beatles' story once they made the transition from Liverpool to London c. 1963. As a teenager who had watched the Beatles live on THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW in early 1964, I have picked up the Beatles' US albums over the years. I only had a few of the UK albums, and some of them are quite different in content than their US counterparts. I owned a good stereo from 1960 on, so I was not interested in mono recordings. I had heard that the Beatles were more interested in their mono recordings because that was what was playing on mono car radios at the time. They left the stereo versions to George Martin. Their mono and stereo versions of the same song can be quite different. "She's Leaving Home" from SGT. PEPPER'S is sung at a faster pace and in a different key in the mono version when compared to the stereo. So, if you have to have it all, you need both the mono and stereo versions of the Beatles recordings. As for the music, the transfers to CD are terrific. The early albums in particular have a real energy and are quite enjoyable to hear, giving the stereo versions a run for their money. Anyone who wants to hear what the lads themselves approved need this mono set.
