The Beatles In Stereo Vinyl Box [Boxed Set] [VINYL]

Product Information

The same holds true for the songs " The Ballad of John and Yoko", " Old Brown Shoe" and the single mix of " Let It Be", which were also omitted. There may be a hundred reasons to these differences stated here relating to our ears, our respective hi-fi systems, our expectations, our tonal likes/dislikes…and so on.

A group portrait of the Beatles, straightening their ties, backstage at the Odeon Cinema in Luton on 6th September 1963. Magical Mystery Tour is presented in the sequence and artwork of its original North American Capitol Records album release, as opposed to the UK six-song EP. Two other songs in the Beatles' catalogue which also appear in mono on the stereo CDs are " Only a Northern Song" and " You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)".

The first four albums ( Please Please Me, With the Beatles, A Hard Day's Night and Beatles for Sale) made their CD debut in stereo, though most songs from those albums have previously appeared on CD in stereo on various compilations. Both the original issue and the 1978 master utilised the original master tapes but both were significantly inferior to the new pressings which uses ‘mere’ 24bit/44.

For Past Masters, disc one uses a mid-1960s Parlophone label design and disc two uses the (side A) Apple label design. Every release of these four songs has been in mono (or simulated stereo) and they appear in mono on the stereo version of Past Masters and Please Please Me. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, all the mono mixes were done together with the Beatles themselves, throughout the recording of the album, whereas the stereo mixes were done in only six days by Abbey Road personnel George Martin, Geoff Emerick and Richard Lush after the album had been finished, with none of the Beatles attending.The Beatles (Stereo USB)(Box Set, Limited Edition, Compilation, Memory Stick, , 226×File, FLAC, Remastered, Stereo, 24-bit 44. This was why I used the official 1978 masters box set which does allow me to sample the official master tape-derived masters from a similar time period. Needless to say ALL the sixties UK Parlophone stereo mixes were an obvious attempt just to put out any given album in stereo. Another point of interest is that a mastering engineer’s client can have a significant effect on the final product. On 12 November 2012, the set was released on 180-gram vinyl, specially prepared for vinyl, with a 252-page book included.

Speaking of packaging, the 252-page hardback book included, written by Beatle expert Kevin Howlett, is fantastic. All formats offer a new stereo mix by Giles Martin and Sam Okell, sourced “directly from the original four-track master tapes” and utilising Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films’ cutting edge ‘de-mixing’ technology, which allows the separation of music previously ‘bounced down’ and fused together on one track.For Mono Masters, disc 1 uses a mid-1960s Parlophone label design and disc 2 uses the unsliced Apple label design. Maybe the 1980 box will sound better, but it doesn’t have these great covers so I guess nobody wins. You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)" is the only track left in the Beatles' catalogue of which the original edit has never received a stereo mix despite the multi-tracks being available. You‚Äôll have to look up track listing, but the album has the first truly dedicated stereo mixes on the above mentioned songs .

This means all the digital edits and mastering found on the streaming/CD versions are all here on the LPs. Stereo recordings were a fairly new concept for pop music in the 1960s and did not become standard until nearly the end of that decade.The box contains a new two-disc compilation album titled Mono Masters, which compiles all the mono mixes of singles, B-sides and EP tracks that did not originally appear on any of the UK albums or Magical Mystery Tour. I Am The Walrus - the composite version put together by Capitol Records engineers John Palladino and George Irwin for the U.
