The Beatles: Mono Vinyl Box Set (11LP)
The Beatles' Original Mono Studio Albums Remastered At Abbey Road Directly
From The Analogue Masters For Vinyl ReleaseAvailable individually and
collected in a limited 14-LP boxed edition, accompanied by an exclusive
108-page hardbound book.London - June 16, 2014 - The Beatles in mono: This
is how most listeners first heard the group in the 1960s, when mono was the
predominant audio format. Up until 1968, each Beatles album was given a
unique mono and stereo mix, but the group always regarded the mono as
primary. On September 8 (September 9 in North America), The Beatles' nine
U.K. albums, the American-compiled Magical Mystery Tour, and the Mono
Masters collection of non-album tracks will be released in mono on 180-gram
vinyl LPs with faithfully replicated artwork. Newly mastered from the
analogue master tapes, each album will be available both individually and
within a lavish, limited 14-LP boxed edition, The Beatles In Mono, which
also includes a 108-page hardbound book. In an audiophile-minded
undertaking, The Beatles' acclaimed mono albums have been newly mastered for
vinyl from quarter-inch master tapes at Abbey Road Studios by
GRAMMY�-winning engineer Sean Magee and GRAMMY�-winning mastering supervisor
Steve Berkowitz. While The Beatles In Mono CD boxed set released in 2009
was created from digital remasters, for this new vinyl project, Magee and
Berkowitz cut the records without using any digital technology. Instead,
they employed the same procedures used in the 1960s, guided by the original
albums and by detailed transfer notes made by the original cutting
engineers. Working in the same room at Abbey Road where most of The
Beatles' albums were initially cut, the pair first dedicated weeks to
concentrated listening, fastidiously comparing the master tapes with first
pressings of the mono records made in the 1960s. Using a rigorously tested
Studer A80 machine to play back the precious tapes, the new vinyl was cut on
a 1980s-era VMS80 lathe. Manufactured for the world at Optimal Media in
Germany, The Beatles' albums are presented in their original glory, both
sonically and in their packaging. The boxed collection's exclusive 12-inch
by 12-inch hardbound book features new essays and a detailed history of the
mastering process by award-winning radio producer and author Kevin Howlett.
The book is illustrated with many rare studio photos of The Beatles,
fascinating archive documents, and articles and advertisements sourced from
1960s publications.
