Pete Nash from The Beatles Fan Club Magazine Unboxes The Beatles Mono Vinyl Box Set
Музыка
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.

Pete the distortion on Rubber Soul's cover has nothing to do with a fisheye lens. It was printed at an angle after it was accidentally projected that way onto cardboard when the Beatles were looking at possible cover photos.
This needs to be reissued and exactly as they were! Along with the mono CD boxset, neither should've gone out of print!

Thank got I got the cd box and vinyl box. I have extra single album releases I need With the Beatles,Help,Sgt Pepper and MMT and they are really pricy now.
I love reviews by such knowledgable and enthusiastic fans such as this gentleman. Thank you so much for the video. Cheers from Maryland, US!
Beautiful box. I wish I could have everything in his room
The beauty of each of these albums comes through even on youtube. The Beatles! Toppermost of the Poppermost! Thanks for posting!
Fantastic review. I want to get this more than anything. Fantastic reproductions exactly like the originals. Just beautiful.
I love that Ringo policeman cutout in the back. Where can you get something like that?
Can't wait to get a hold of mine! Looks superior in so many extraordinary ways. Dig it!

Pete, you did a wonderful job with this video.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I have only two Beatles record's, both "stereo" reissues of "Abby road" and "the Beatles" (white album) ! But I'm just coming on to the Beatles now that I've gotten back into vinyl! And I want more, because all these years I was missing a lot of awesome stuff! I'd like to get the ones that were only recorded in mono in mono! The others that were recorded in both formats, I'd like to have both format copies! I'm 47, and It took all these years and a vinyl resurgence to get me to notice the Beatles FINALLY!
I love this box set. I’m so happy I bought it on release day from Amazon.
thanks pete great and very enjoyable to watch
So tempted to buy a turntable and go vinyl! The Beatles In Mono CD box is a thing of beauty but this just surpasses it. The LP sleeves themselves, the box and especially the book (I could spend all day just gazing at the photots, adverts and studio notes in the book!). It's going to take a great deal of restraint to not simply splurge and enjoy. Great video and loved pausing it and gazing around the memorabilia etc around the room. A public service for Beatles fans everywhere!

Hello Pete.Back in the late 80s and 90s you were one of my contacts for cassettes of those many fantastic underground releases that were appearing around that time.Thank you Record Collector magazine,thank you Roger Scott and thank you Pete for the hours of listening pleasure.
Igual aos originais dos anos 60. Caramba. Dá água na boca de vontade de comprar a coleção inteira Mono e Stereo.
After a long search..I was extremely lucky to purchase this box set today at quite am incredible price. Was a gift to the seller that isn't into The Beatles and the albums were never taken out of the box let alone played. Can't wait to do a needle drop ;)
I drooled while watching this video. Sadly I came back to vinyl too late and missed the opportunity to catch this box set when it was released.

That mono box looks simply stunning. From what I just seen, the stereo box should be done over like that mono box. This time from the original masters and pressed in Europe, or one of the state of the art US pressing plants like RTI or Furnace.
great video, so expensive now, hopefully i will get this box set one day, thanks for sharing, cheers
"do not eat or throw away" *throws away* haha great video
Nice collection's of the Beatles.
No EMITEX inner sleeves? Damn. I'm still getting it, but damn.
Very nice unboxing video! Of course, hopefully the best part comes after the unboxing, when the albums are played on your turntable. Additionally, I hope that outer packaging, with the extra cardboard and foam pads, is used for all of the box sets that are mailed...so this heavy beast of a box set doesn't get damaged during shipment.
I remember you had a good collection in 1976ish when I used to come over and see Derek...
I am completely surprised and I am delighting in those LPs that are coming out of the box. Something today made me hum a lyric from these wonderful artists, musicians, characters. All I need is love...in these times of war, nothing is more necessary than love. And then a whole cascade of songs from those times when I was a girl but in my environment they were heard and repeated... They corresponded more to my parents' generation but it has remained a beautiful inheritance. How excellent that "paste" LPs can be made.
OMG I want this!!!!!! Good thing the albums are released separate!
Wow😱I will get it in Christmas next month this the Beatles mono I Love that
I have three separate titles from this mono set. I am convinced I must get the whole box set now!!!
Those four songs from Yellow Submarine that were featured on the compilation LP were remixed for mono in 1969. On the original 1968 Yellow Submarine LP they were stereo fold downs like the other songs on that LP. Very nice video. I enjoyed the presentation. Thanks

I've just received the mono vinyl box, and I've played all the records up through "Revolver", and I'm playing L.P. 1 of "Mono Masters" as I type this. Uniformly excellent sound, quiet surfaces, on-center labels and (generally)on-center grooves. All the records are perfectly flat, and though I initially thought that L.P. 3 of "Mono Masters" had a warp, it actually had a very tight spindle hole. After pressing down on the label area(to ensure that it was seated properly), it turned out to not be warped after all. As for the sleeves(album covers) they are a much closer approximation of the 1960's sleeves(versus the stereo vinyl box), but not exact. Yes, the first 8 albums have the fold-over flaps, but the front covers, while they are printed on semi-gloss cardboard, are NOT cellophane laminated like the 1960's originals. The sleeves for "With The Beatles","A Hard Days Night","Help","Rubber Soul" & "Revolver" have the correct(Matte-texture) cardboard for the rear of the sleeves, yet, oddly they use semi-gloss cardboard for the rear of "Please Please Me". The left inside of the "Beatles For Sale" gatefold has the correct (Matte) texture, but uses semi-gloss for the right inside of the gatefold. and, quite oddly, the front and rear "Slicks" for "Magical Mystery Tour" are on Matte paper. Go figure!! And, on the rear of the "Magical Mystery Tour" album cover, where Capitol Records factories are listed, Los Angeles is mis-spelled "Los Angels".
Excellent review, but now you have made me very envious so I have to start saving my pennies.
Superb review. For me the best way to hear The Beatles is in mono on a high end turntable and on quality vinyl.
I want this so much!
Love i need this albums
Hi mate. Great video. I don't know if you remember me I go to the beatles record fairs with my nan. Great video. I didn't get the mono box set because it was a bit too much for me. Great video. Take care
a Great box, that's for sure! ah.. I bought all the Beatles cd's in 1987, then in 2009 I bought the remastered stereo cd box, the remastered mono cd box, a bit later I bought the Capitol album collection, and finally the stereo vinyl box, a lovely box. I also bought the two BBC double albums on vinyl... I mean... McCartney & Starr surely won't have any financial problems for the rest of their days, haha... Lovely to see unpack this lovely box set anyway! :-) Beatles Best Band ever, no doubt about it!
I had to switch those outer sleeves. I listen to my records and they were a pain to take out all the time!
The Beatles 4ever ...
A jolly nice review there Sir. Thanks for the post. I must admit, I loved the Stereo Box sets for both CD and Vinyl. Having said that- The LP Mono Box has sold it for me. They have managed to reproduce "almost" pretty damn near faithful replicas of the original LPs. Somehow though, SOLD IN THE EU on the nicely reproduced Parlophone/Apple labels, does not look quite so good as SOLD IN THE UK like with the originals back in the day. "That would be my one and only criticism however" I love the work that has gone into making these LPs. I had a fear that the book provided, would just be the same as the Mono box CD version but blown up to LP size. I was jaw droppingly happy to see that it contains new art work with some pictures and photos that I have never seen before alongside various clippings and various adverts from the day. They really did an excellent job on all counts. The sound of these Mono LPs have totally blown me away. Anyone thinking about purchasing after shelling out on all the previous Box sets will not be disappointed with this latest offering. I purchased my set last Friday and did not think twice about the cash I parted with (I looked for the best deal of course as prices do vary) If anybody out there needs a good excuse to buy a good turntable, a valve loaded pre amp and a nice set of Revox speakers, then this box set would be your good reason - and not to mention, a fantastic way to christen your investment and please your ears all over again. A Splendid Time Is Guaranteed For All.

This box seems beautiful. But as Chris Lightfoot says: "..If anybody out there needs a good excuse to buy a good turntable, a valve loaded pre amp and a nice set of Revox speakers, then this box set would be your good reason..." so that means that for listening vinyl the right way, I have to spend a lot of money. I understand the historical value of the mono mixes, because that was the way the albums were originally recorded. And the mixes have different details the stereo mixes don´t. But anyway, what keeps me off vinyl is the fact that I must have rather expensive equipment. In a way, with its flaws, CD democratized sound quality. I don´t need such an expensive gear as vinyl does to hear music witha decent or good sound. I must admit that CD, in general, needs a very good re mastering work. I don´t know what is your opinion of Japanese CD as SHM CD or Blu-spec CD. From my humble opinion and understanding, I'm very happy with the 2009 CD re masters of The Beatles Albums.

Ariel Escudero Hi Ariel, Thanks for your message. One does not have to shell out a fortune for a good system to enjoy Vinyl. I bought a Technics SL-1200MK5 (just before they were sadly discontinued) a moderately priced pre amp and tower speakers. I set myself a budget and am very satisfied with what I have. One can go overboard and pay 3 or 4 times as much as I did. It is like anything else when it comes down to buying goods. I was just realistic, did my research and knew what I wanted to buy. You are actually correct, you do not have to spend a fortune to enjoy your music and this includes Vinyl too. My statement was merely to encourage anybody who was thinking of buying a turntable to enjoy Vinyl again, or in this case THE MONO BOX. I was born in 1970 and was bought up with the Vinyl record. Like most people in the 80s, I put my LPs away in 1988 in favour of CDs. I bought remasters of Led Zep, The Eagles, Queen, Pink Floyd, The Stones, The Who and Hendrix but was never entirely satisfied with the overall sound. Either too loud, too quiet or too compressed or too much bass. You get what I mean. At the end of the day, most of the aforementioned groups all recorded their work long before the Digital age. Going to a record fair in 2007 and buying some very good conditioned second hand LPs (and hearing the rumours that Beatles Remasters in both CD and LP formats are in development) encouraged me to go out and buy a Turntable. In reply to your question, I have no idea about the Japanese SHM CD or Blu-spec CD. I will however investigate and look it up on the net. I also love the 2009 CD Mono and Stereo Remasters box sets. For travelling, I love to have the complete Beatles in my ipod. At Home though, it has to be Vinyl. Postion your speakers between your couch and just relax. My only complaint is that I have to get up every 20mins to turn the record over (ha ha ha) Wishing you peace and best regards Chris
it looks super!!!!
I don't know why I enjoyed watching this but I did
Blimey! Who knew trigger knew so much about beatles albums
The inner sleeve for Sgt Pepper designed by The Fool, I believe. 16:49 their only remnant of their design for this album.

As of 1987 the US MMT LP replaced the EP and officially became part of the Beatles catalog. That's why the LP is included instead of the EP.
Got to get you into my life, Beatles Mono box set.
I have most of the all the original..but this would be nice..
I'll be getting please please me individually to get that black and gold label!
Glad I got straight away. The set is up to a grand a ebay these days. These reissues have gone up in value faster than originals have. Haven't checked the individual LP mono reissues also issued.
Muchas Gracias Pete Nash
Whoa I'd love that
AWESOME!!! Will they also be sold separately?

Hey Pete, Just noticed your comment re no single was taken from the white album, do you mean in the UK, because here in australia we had Ob La Di/While My Guitar as a 45, from memory it did well.

Have you ever heard of or seen an original 1964 'Meet The Beatles' stereo version (paste over) copy ?
Apple- please do a second run of this box set! Ok?!
It doesn't come with the Magical Mystery Tour EP set, but it makes up for it by being in the movie deluxe set
Hi, as an expert, please can I ask you a question. How do you tell if my vinyl stereo copy of Paul and Linda McCartney's Ram album is original 1971 or the 2012 reissue, or something in between? Can anyone answer, thank you?
Excelente
What do you play these on? I have an old system with a Girard stereo turntable from the 70's maybe, and 2 DLK/3 front speakers, a pretty fair center speaker with no name on it (I remember the salesman saying not to buy a cheap one, so It wasn't cheap), and a Kenwood dolby stereo receiver KRV7030
please, return to edit the box set in vinyl The Beatles in mono or separately, in Latin America, unfortunately they were not for sale in stores.
The Beatles in mono. Wow. To answer 'why in mono?': this is how they would have heard them mixed and there are a few differences here between the stereo and mono versions. If you want the music as they would have heard it (certainly up to and including the white album), then this is really the way to listen to it. The stereo mixing was done afterward and is not always of the same quality (e.g. looped tapes had worn out badly by the time of the stereo mix, as in the jet intro to 'Back in The USSR').
I like this The Beatles Mono Vinyl Box Set, still available??
I have paper bags that lps were sold in from nems shop are these collectable nice 60spatterns on them
For its' price, this box set HAS to be pressed flawless.
Take2 ! My sincere apologies: I listened to Pepper again and the scratch on the A side was gone. Obviously, the vinyl needed a first listen. Bad Boy still has 4 bleeps but the rest of the box is perfect (I still have a few sides to listen to but I have regained confidence). I think Revolver really stands out. The Beatle AKA the White album is fantastic. Beatles for Sale is just like the 64 mono UK album, so it's awesome (voices, guitars..). And you need to listen to Pepper... What a sound. The book - I haven't read it - but I wish there had been more unknown in the studio pictures (Beats Instrumental, Beatles monthly book?). All in all, this box is superb. Cheers!
It's literally a blessing from God to get the opportunity to own this box set.

To whom it cay concern> I have recently wanted to re-start my vinyl collection that I had years ago. No offence to people who love the Mono Boxset, however, I am in the market for the Stereo vinyl boxset and since I have read many times that the European version is way superior to the US version I wondered (since I am from Canada) How do I tell with/from a sealed copy of the box from any local store or ordering from Amazon which one is from Europe and which one is the US?? Are there any indicators that I got the pressing from Germany? Here in Canada it states on the individually sold albums on it's promo label that it is from Capitol (US) Also, what should I be paying for the box? Here in Canada I found a sealed for $319.99 and also I have seen some on Amazon for $289.99 ...again not knowing where it was actually pressed. I would be grateful for any help from ANYONE with any insight.
What do you think of side 3 of Mono Masters?
They put extra songs on the second side of a hard day’s night and help to basically complete the whole album
Genius ever
We'll play one
The Beatles never had one bad album Hope i can own this boxset one day its quite pricy but it would be worth every penny in my opinion
Wish I bought the whole set a few years back, rather than several individual records. Even the less popular ones (Beatles for Sale, With the Beatles) are worth $100 these days
Hi. I live in Texas. I wish to sell my entire Beatles collection. I've been a fan since 1964. Do you know if there is a Beatles appraiser in Texas!
could I live in there pwease
What would also have been nice is if the had reproduced the inner sleeves to look the same as what they would have been like in 64 65 etc. I know its a small thing but as a record collector myself I like to try and keep the correct inner sleeves - so it would have been nice if they had reproduced those too
Hi, Nice packaging, faithful sleeves, blablabla... How about the quality of the pressing? And is the sound any different from the original UK mono albums (which all I own as well as the mono cd 2009 remasters). I want this box real bad but need to know why. Help! A casual fan.
I bought the stereo versions and I don't think I'm going to open mine,why,I'm not sure.
