8 Reasons Why All Beatles Fans Should Buy The Beatles Remastered Mono CD Box Set

I could give about one thousand reasons why you should buy The Beatles Mono CD Box Set but that would take way more time than either of us want to spend. Plus it’s not really necessary. I expect you should be plenty convinced after reading the eight reasons below.

#1) The Beatles first 10 UK albums on CD in their original mono mixes. This is the first time all of these original mono mixes have been made available on CD.

#2) The Beatles two UK albums from 1965 (Help! & Rubber Soul) are included on CD in their original stereo mixes for the very first time. The original stereo mixes for Help! & Rubber Soul had been “lost to history” since the 1980s when new stereo mixes were made for these two albums.

#3) Along with all of the album tracks that were originally mixed in mono, this box set also includes a two CD set called Mono Masters which includes the original mono mixes of all of their non album songs such as “She Loves You” and “Day Tripper”

#4) The vinyl LP replica packaging is very groovy.

#5) The Beatles Mono Box Set is currently sold out on the internet’s biggest retailer (Amazon.) It’s still available at some other online stores, but for how long? Make sure you buy this box set while you still can.

#6) These albums are not only being released in mono for the first time on CD, they have also been remastered with the highest quality digital mastering in the world. No limiting was used (see “loudness wars”) which means that the original sound of these songs has not been tampered with. The purpose of this remastering was only to capture the original sound on the master tapes as perfectly as possible.

#7) The discs in this box set cannot be bought separately.

#8) The White Album is being released in mono in the US for the first time ever (in any format) with this box set. In 1968 only the stereo mix was released in the US while both the mono & stereo mixes were available in the UK.
