Excellent review!

Very nice video. . I have this mono box set on CD and I enjoy it very much. The sound is wonderful. My system is set up for everything up to ATMOS.

Brilliant review😊

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video - I love your presentation style, this is just brilliant. Just to comment on the 1987 and 2009 Stereo CDs - these are apparently the same George Martin remix version, but digitally remastered on the 2009 CD. The Mono Box has the Mono version of the album, but also includes the original 1965 Stereo mix as a bonus - (this is the same for Help! also). As far as I’m aware, this is the only way to currently get the original 1965 Stereo mix, aside from picking up a pre-1987 Vinyl copy of the album. Really grateful that I found your channel ❤️🙏

Every copy of the 1987 Rubber Soul CD that I've seen had the US Capitol cover. I didn't know they made them with UK covers. I thought it was an error they didn't fix on the 1987 CD's? I still have my 1987 CD, and it has the US Capitol cover.

Do you like the remixes of the Rubber Soul tracks on the 2023 1962 - 1966 overall? Is the 2014 mono Rubber Soul your favorite as far as overall sound? If there ever is super deluxe box set of Rubber Soul, on one of the covers of the LPs or discs, I hope they incorporate the US Capitol front cover. I like the bronze, and the photograph is centered better.

Nowhere Man from 2009 has reverb on the vocals , Peter Cobbin's mix has reverb also but Giles Martin removed all the reverb. I think the reverb was supposed to be there. I used headphones.

Insightful and entertaining 👍Thanks !

On my 1987 release of Rubber Soul on CD is a Capital records logo on the upper right hand corner thanks👍

Excellent presentation and overview! Well done🎉😊

what song plays in the intro?

Great over view!

I did the same thing with the inner and outer sleeves for the stereo set. They did such a good job with the mono set, wonder why they didn't do the same with the stereo set.

My ranking: Stereo: 1) German A-2/B-3 2) Dutch 2-Y/1-Y 3) UK -4/-4 4) UK -1/-1 5) MFSL 6) 2009 CD 7) 1987 CD Mono: 1) 2014 Vinyl 2) 2009 CD 3) UK -1/-1 I can’t really mix in the mono with stereo. They’re different animals so I have to compare them separately.

Some facts if you care: There are 2 stereo mixes of Help! and Rubber because in 1987, George Martin heard the original 1965 mixes and didn't like them. This was the year that The Beatles were getting their premiere release on CD. Yes, EMI waited a long time since the 1982 debut of the Compact Disc. Martin called the original Stereo mixes 'wooly' and remixed them in '87 for their CD debut. The 2009 remixes stem from the '87 mixes, so the original '65 mixes have never been updated. They were just transferred to the Mono CDs. And for those who are interested, ALL CD's are stereo. So the Mono CDs is just the mono mix on each channel. 100% identical. Sgt. Pepper was when the Beatles actually started climbing the stairs to the control room and having more of a creative input on the mixes. For a month, The mono mix was worked on with ALL Beatles present whenever they were there. The Stereo mix was done in....a week? a few days? much shorter and only Ringo has confirmed to be present. The Stereo mix has very interesting choices (like removing the phase shifting effect on John's Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds vocal or the pitch being lowered in She's Leaving Home) but nonetheless weren't as much a Beatles creative input as the mono mix. Also, for the 2017 Giles Martin/Sam Okell remixed the album for it's 50th anniversary using the mono mix. That and the fact the Beatles were creatively involved with the mono mix tells me how definitive the mono mix is. Revolver objectively has different elements in each mix. John's "A LIFE OF EASE" line in Yellow Submarine is present in the mono mix, along with two acoustic guitar chords at the beginning, whereas the stereo mix has silence when Ringo sings "In the..." then music comes in at "town". There are different backwards guitar solos I think in I'm only sleeping and a different fadeout in Tomorrow Never Knows (one fadeout is longer so you hear more music) Paul's Automatic Double Tracking (ADT) error is fixed in the mono mix, but that mistake is present the first time he says Eleanor Rigby. All 4 of these albums were recorded on 4 track tape. Most of these songs feature Ringo's drums only on the left channel and different instruments specifically on one side of your speaker/ear. The stereo mixes are better. George Martin went independent from EMI in 1965, and I believe Rubber Soul was his first outing from that. Why he went back to the Rubber Soul stereo mix by HARD panning the instruments on the far left side and the vocals on the far right with SILENCE inbetween is beyond me. His 1987 mix rectified this a little, but you CAN'T listen to Rubber Soul in stereo. It's mono all the way (like Please Please Me and With The Beatles).

Great content, man. I've gone down a rabbit hole of this subject and would like to share some context. In the stereo booklets, the end section talks about how the album was recorded. Something to take from that are 3 numbers: 2, 4 and 8 When these were recorded to analogue tape in the 60's, these numbers represent the amount of tracks on the tape itself. Please Please Me and With The Beatles were recorded on 2 track tape: instruments wired to one track and the vocals to the next track. This left small room for overdubs (like handclaps, harmonicas and harmoniums added after the song was recorded) without risking sound degradation by recopying the tape to a new blank tape to free up space. Those first two albums were recorded like this to edit the vocals and instruments easier. It's intent was to make the mono mix the best it could be. The stereo release of Please Please Me was released MONTHS after the release date of said album (obviously mono), and George Martin had no clue they even released it! Stereo was an afterthought. As you basically said, kids had cheap record players with one speaker. Some of their dad's who were audiophiles had the stereo setup and were listening to classical music or jazz. Rock n' Roll was pretty much mono in the UK until the late 60's. The next two albums mark the most common tape used: 4 track. Much more room for overdubs. They put the voice in the center! an organ here on the left; a guitar solo here on the right. But the ONE reason I can't listen to the Beatles in stereo is because they didn't put the drums in the center like the vocals! Ringo is off to the left channel like a feature instrument rather the backbone of the song! This sounds strange in Paperback Writer, I Feel Fine (which ruins the vibe of that 60's af song) and countless others (Sgt. Pepper!) This may not bother all. I researched the recording history of the first 9 albums. George Martin and engineers (Norman Smith and later Geoff Emerick) would start to put in effort with stereo (in my opinion around Beatles For Sale). Some of the mixes felt rushed; others were solid. In my research, mono was usually FIRST to be mixed and was the thing that got finished or remixed first. The only time stereo took precedent was for obligations outside of the album (like United Artists needing mixes for the movie and American soundtrack). Producers will even tell you today you want to focus on mono before you dip into stereo; to get it down perfectly balanced. And I feel that's part of George Martin's goal (along with the familiarity with UK rock n' roll being a mono dominated genre). Stereo mixes of A Hard Day's Night and Beatles For Sale are good. A Hard Day's Night has warts (like John's misaligned double track intro on 'If I Fell' and Paul's squeaky voice at the last '...was in vain,') but for the fan that doesn't care, or the fan who can get over RINGO not being panned into the center (drums on only the left track, that's insanity), then you can get away with the stereo. But if anyone is still reading, thank you first of all. But also, The Beatles, their producer and engineers were mono focused for a very long time. Their self titled album ("The White Album") is where it gets complicated. But if you can pick up the mono CDs, even just to burn them, do it. They were meant to be in mono. The artists wanted their finished product to be what mono sounded like. Stereo was in its mainstream infancy in the UK and sometimes was an after thought. I like to think it was split in pieces and spread around the stereo soundscape. It doesn't blend, and it's music chunks in corners and some elements in the middle. It's rough. The Beatles mono mixes sound like a band together in the same room, balanced and engineered to give you the impression it's one coherent song. The mono mix just sounds normal and full.....altogether; the stereo sound pulled apart with not enough panning or reverb to make it sound like one collective song. edit: spelling and addition of 'full....." at the end.

Beatles is better. Queen should have waited and put more great tracks on a dubble album or left off a few tracks so it don't sound so muddy and compressed.

Hi Burgundy Skies - I have completed a 5 year project called, 'The Beatles On Vinyl' Collection - where I transferred the best Beatles vinyl to digital audio files. It is the original and best sound that you can get anywhere. Reach out to me at my RUclips Channel and I will send you the brochure and the collection for download. Let's discuss how we can offer it to the public, without infringing on any copyrights. Thank you. The Beatles On Vinyl RUclips Channel.

8:50 - I agree with you on E-bay. I have a mono CD box set but I wanted to get another one, just for the hell of it. I ended up with a fake one, none of the discs would play and the covers were falling apart, BACK it wemt!!! I did get a refund. Seller says he didn't know it was fake and apologized.

I like Thank You Girl in mono but not stereo because I don't like the extra harmonica. I get satisfaction from hearing the mono version in the places where the harmonica is not there.

are you saying this is the only way to get the cd's in mono ? because im sure the first 4 cd's realeased in the late 80's were mono and can be found cheap

i have a so called fake version of the Mono Set and it sounds bloody fine to me and £375 cheaper

“Obviously vinyl has become the preferred way for audiophiles to collect and listen to music” err… no it hasn’t? Vinyl collecting and being an audiophile are two entirely separate and usually mutually exclusive hobbies unless you are very wealthy. No analogue system below £2000 sounds vaguely acceptable to an audiophile and the vast majority of records in existence are either in poor condition, or poor quality pressings, or cut from poor sources. You’d probably be hitting an average of £60 per album if you were seeking out good sounding records. If you want a decent sized collection of, say, 500 albums you really like, that’s £30000. And you’d better be taking out insurance on that. So no, most audiophiles are not vinyl collectors, or if they are, they’re probably under the influence of some serious doublethink. CDs still outsell vinyl by volume in most parts of the world and I’d wager a higher percentage of CD buyers are discerning about sound quality than vinyl buyers, who are very clearly happy with overpriced noisy junk off of Amazon.

Last week I ordered the Anthology dvd box set from Amazon and it was a fake. Got a refund and ordered it from another company. Should get it next week, fingers crossed it's genuine.

nice set , tho i would be tempted tp flip it for a near mint set ,,,i have owned many sets and most were near mint to unplayed they are not hard to find,,for some reason most people who owned these sets hardly played them . also I will say without doubt the Swedish /German import set ( seek out Germany 1981 import) walks all over the Dutch set it is even better than the uk ,,, all the cuts in the swedish set are from original to second pressings of the uk albums..the 78 uk set is severall pressings beyond the swedish set..the swedish team curated what they felt were the best pressings available to them and every album sounds incredable ,,,,parogram is wrong about the white album ,,its from a highly regarded mid 70's german pressing ,,the couple non uk albums are from great german pressings ... this is the one set that didnt use off the shelf or pressings of the time of release ,,,these are fantastic sounding first and second pressings ,or in a couple cases a rare elusive pressing...it is a truely stand out from all the blue box sets ,,they really put extra effort into securing some of the best pressing of every album available...get one before the mainstream figues it out,,you will not be dissapointed,,,plus you get the cool german covers!

I love that ,when this video was uploaded, this channel hadn't uploaded a video for sixteen years.

The book is so heavy and big it’s very hard to read.

Please you got with the Beatles! Wait to you hear it it beats any other pressing. I have all the original pressings and this beats them all, more bass. Even though it’s digital it’s sounds the best to my ears. Enjoy the music my friend greetings from the uk Elliott ✌️

BurgundySkies. I like your "handle." Thank you for responding. I figured it out. I also have the five dvd disc's also. Blessings! 😊...Thank you again.

❤❤❤❤

Hello. I have viewed volume 1&2 dvd. However the dvd disc does not contain episode 2. Why is that? I just received the dvd set a few days ago. The first volume is the only one I have viewed so far. Help, anyone?

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day ❤😊

Sory, this is soundtrack ,not album..😅

In your commentary, you referred to the “Help” Album as a studio album whereas here in the USA we consider both the UK and the USA releases as movie or film soundtracks; especially with the George Martin orchestral music arrangements on side two. This is also true of “Hard Day’s Night” and Yellow Submarine” for the same reason. “Magical Mystery Tour” is either considered a soundtrack as released here in the USA or a compilation. “Let It Be” is either a studio album or a soundtrack since it’s essentially derived from a film documentary. This is in reference to the original releases not necessarily to later CD versions, remixes, remasters, etcetera.

The 2009 cd is louder than the 1987 & both have heavy reverb on some songs. Thanks for your review.

Did you know that the song It’s Only Love was recorded during the Help album

I always seem to prefer the Beatles in stereo.

Just discovered your channel keep up the excellent work.

BTW, some of those CD's from The Capitol Albums that you have are copy controlled and contain Rootkits if you try to play them on your computer. There are releases of The Capitol Albums that don't have those copy controlled discs and I recommend people getting those instead. I watched a video by VWestlife about these copy controlled discs. I will have the title of the video just below! "Copy protected" audio CDs & installing the Sony rootkit - VWestlife

" the sh*ttiest load of badly recorded sh*t with a lousy feeling to it ever " - John Lennon's thoughts on the Let It Be/ Get Back sessions, 1970.

You are doing a great job for the new generations, Radu! Proud of you! Big hugs))))))))

I watched "Let It Be" yesterday for the first time since the early 1980's. I enjoyed it the first time and as much as I enjoyed it this second time I kept thinking that it must have been confusing for the original audience who saw it in theaters. It leaves you wondering what the heck is going on unless you already happen to know the back story. I didn't watch "Get Back" when it first came out, but I'm watching it now.

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also today is my oldest sister birthday ❤

Im a huge fan too. Thanks for the video but you talk alittle fast in this video. I agree Get Back supersedes the Let it Be movie. Take care friend

Why is the sky babbling on I want to see the video where John's playing the piano in his house in England and the guy comes to the door and the bouncer wants to throw him out but he turns around and says hey man help him out where is that video at

I saw Let It Be in the theaters in 1970 as a thirteen year old. At that age I absolutely loved it, did not care about how it was edited and that there was not much of a story just loved seeing the Beatles in the studio. Fast forward to now and I love that the picture quality and sound are greatly improved and that is now available to watch. Like you I think the Get Back series will be the go to for that period in the Beatles lives. I love how everything was explained and went day by day. So glad we are still getting Beatle product after all these years. Take care!

I also really like Beatles For Sale, I do understand people being disappointed in how many of the tracks are covers, but the originals are really good I think.

19:45 You did not mention that MMT mono and stereo has the "Capitol" Rainbow label from the USA and not Parophone
