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

Product Information

Despite the extra time that a 24bit/192kHz or even a 24bit/96kHz master would have taken to create there was, according to Magee, no real deadline for this project. So the impetus for using the 44.1kHz files was? “I was told to use these 24bits, so that’s what we used, it was the most practical.” The albums Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road and Let It Be are not included in this set, as no true mono mixes of these albums were issued. 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. A mono version of the Yellow Submarine album was released in the UK, but it was simply a fold-down (two stereo channels combined into one channel) from the stereo mix, not a unique and separate mono mix. Abbey Road and Let It Be were issued in the UK in mono on reel-to-reel tape and on LP in Brazil and other countries but, again, only as fold-downs from the respective stereo versions. The Beatles was a -1/-3/-1/-2 pressing. I love this album, the -1/-1/-1/-1 original is a fantastic pressing. Good thing side 1 and 3 carried the -1 originals, because they sounded the best. Side 2 and 4 did need a recut, so this box pressing came in clutch and was the best one. The MFSL was just bloated, just not as good as the UK pressing was.

Everyone knows these 70-80s HM cuts sound great, and they really do. It always takes a new release for me to appreciate how well this set was made. RIAA G&P certification count for April 2010". Recording Industry Association of America . Retrieved 14 September 2010. A Hard Day’s Night was a -2/-3 cutting. Side 1 was basically the -1 but with a 2 stamped over it. I am not a fan of the -1/-1 original of A Hard Day’s Night, so side 1 was too hot and was sibilant heavy. Side 2 was a complete 180. It sounded FANTASTIC! Smooth, clear and uncongested. Would take this over the original and the MFSL.The Beatles(Box Set, Compilation, CD, Album, Enhanced, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, CD, Album, Enhanced, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, CD, Album, Enhanced, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, CD, Album, Enhanced, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, CD, Album, Enhanced, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, CD, Album, Enhanced, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, CD, Album, Enhanced, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, CD, Album, Enhanced, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, CD, Album, Enhanced, Misprint, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 2×CD, Album, Enhanced, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, CD, Album, Enhanced, Reissue, Remastered, CD, Album, Enhanced, Reissue, Remastered, CD, Album, Enhanced, Reissue, Remastered, 2×CD, Compilation, Enhanced, Remastered, Stereo, Mono, DVD, DVD-Video, NTSC) Beatles for Sale was a -3/-4, and sounded really good. I do like the -1/-1 original better, but not by much. I think both are on par with each other. The -3 side A slightly lowered Ringo’s snare, but did offer a pleasant midrange. MFSL brightened the hell out of the album, so the original wins At that time [...] the console was about this big with four faders on it. And there was one speaker right in the middle [...] and that was it. When they invented stereo, I remember thinking 'Why? What do you want two speakers for?', because it ruined the sound from our point of view. You know, we had everything coming out of one speaker; now it had to come out of two speakers. It sounded like... very... naked. [11] Lewis, Anthony (30 August 2009). "Meet (and be) the Beatles". Los Angeles Times. Archived from the original on 7 September 2009 . Retrieved 28 August 2009.

HMV Complete Compact Disc Collection (16×CD, Remastered, Stereo, Mono, Box Set, Compilation, Limited Edition, Numbered) Overall, the 2012 vinyl discs are well pressed, quiet and detailed sounding pressings. The first run European pressings had little to no quality control issues with them. Out of my entire set, I had a copy of Abbey Road that had some noise floor issues (but was returned for a clean replacement) and the copy of Sgt. Pepper's spindle hole was too tight (which a pencil fixed). It should also be noted that due to the huge roll out (at the beginning of the vinyl revival) were a lot of quality control reports during the first release of the US pressings ( The Beatles - The Beatles) from Rainbo Records.

Each disc is digitally sourced from the 2009 24bit/44.1kHz masters (something that was advertised at the time). This means all the digital edits and mastering found on the streaming/CD versions are all here on the LPs.

Hernandez, Raoul (2 October 2009). "Review: The Beatles, The Beatles in Mono". The Austin Chronicle . Retrieved 19 November 2014. I’ve rammed through so many stereo pressings of the Beatles catalogue. The mono albums are easy-just buy the CD and Vinyl mono boxes from the past decade. The stereo albums on the other hand is so complicated. There’s the originals, hundreds of recuttings, MFSL pressings, DMM pressings, digital remasters and digital transfers. I can’t really explore the CDs, but I can at least talk about the vinyl cuttings. I hate the long matrix cuts from the 80’s pressings. I heard Sgt. Pepper from the box and was disgusted as to how bad it sounded. So, I decided to try to avoid an 80s box set. It took me so unbelievably long to find this 1978 box at a decent price, but I finally found one. To compare, I have original cuttings and an MFSL box. Heres my review: According to Magee, you’re far better having a decent ADC (Analogue-to-Digital Convertor, a high-specification Prism, in Abbey Road’s case) and a clean 24bit signal to capture all of those extra sonic highs, “The reason 24bit is important is because, in 16bit audio CD play, when you get down to indus 50Hz something then you start getting quantisation. The signal can’t make up its mind whether it’s a one or a zero. You end up with a buzzy sound. At 24bit, you get no perceivable noise.” In 2014, five years after the initial CD release, mono editions of each of the albums were released individually in vinyl format, though the mono editions for CD were still available only in the box set. All of the USA albums were released individually on CDs containing both the mono and original stereo mixes; this is the only other way to acquire the mono mixes on CD. Audiophiles will be happy to hear that no compression has been added to the vinyl masters while a decision to use DMM cutting process to enhance extra detail on the inner groove was rejected by Apple in favour of the warmer sound of lacquers. The only processing done was a series of precise and targeted removal of sibilance which, with CEDAR Retouch software, is almost surgical in its accuracy and doesn’t affect adjacent frequencies as older systems do and did.Overall, this is a great sounding box. Maybe the 1980 box will sound better, but it doesn’t have these great covers so I guess nobody wins. I highly recommend this box to anyone who does not have any stereo pressings. I don't think there that many NM of these out there unless you can find the set sealed, it will probably be VG+ or lower. That being said, I think they are well made. Every single record I have in the set is scuffed like hell from the paper sleeve they came in, and these sets were definitely played to death, and yet my copies have low noise floor, and some even dead-silent. Robinson, John (October 2014). "The Beatles – The Beatles in Mono". Uncut . Retrieved 19 November 2014. I wanted to also throw in a copy of the Mobile Fidelity pressings for this test, released in 1982, but this proved impossible to source in the time while purchasing one would have meant not eating for the next year or so, such is the high price of this set. 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. In addition, if you want to sample vinyl masteres from this period, the ‘Blue Box’ masters can be yours for a much lower (although still relatively high) price.
