Amoeba Review

Chris Morris 09/09/2009

No less an authority than EMI engineer Geoff Emerick writes in his Beatles memoir Here, There and Everywhere, “In contrast to the way they carefully oversaw the original mono mixes, the group had expressed no interest in even being present when we did the [stereo] ones; that’s how little thought we all gave stereo in those days.” Many Beatles connoisseurs prize the mono versions of the albums highly. The new limited-edition box contains 10 Beatles albums in their original mono configuration, plus two discs of non-album mono tracks (similar to Past Masters). These mono editions are available only in the boxed set. As a bonus, the set – which also features mini-LP packaging -- includes original 1965 stereo mixes of Help! and Rubber Soul.
