The Beatles In Mono

Product Information

John Lennon did not like the stereo mix of his song " Revolution" on the 1967-1970 compilation album. Lennon stated during a 1974 interview: Some copies of the boxset contained a faulty pressing of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band which had a stereo cut on Side B instead of mono. 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.

The mono album is simply a fold-down (two stereo channels combined into one) of the stereo mix.

I could post a review about how great this set is, but I’d rather share how I got the box because I still think it’s the strangest and coolest story in my vinyl collecting journey.

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 ]
