Every frequency suffered from a brightness that compromised the sonic improvements of the 1978 version.

This was partly down to the early stereo mix which constricted the song, making it rather claustrophobic. This one I only had one rather taxing problem with--Help was dish warped (played convex on one side, concave on the other! Both tracks had been released and out in Stereo This Boy in Austraila and Canada, All You Need Is Love in Germany. I‚Äôm doing this off top of my head, as it‚Äôs easy to get confused with catalog numbers ,and Capitol Records ‚Äú Fold Down ‚Äú in verso.Apple want any Beatles recordings to have a particular ‘sound’, a traditional presentation based upon the original recordings which, to some extent, constrained the mastering engineers at Abbey Road. Moving to Abbey Road’s Here Comes The Sun, I must say that I feared for the new version after listening to the 1978 cut.

The white album disc is a real oddity, ignoring the second disc from the set totally and placing songs in a different sequence - I love it. 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. The thirteen-disc (fourteen on LP) collection contains the remastered mono versions of every UK Beatles album released in true mono, plus Magical Mystery Tour, which in 1967 was only issued as an LP (in mono and stereo mixes, and augmented with the A- and B-sides of their recent singles) in the USA, Canada and a few other countries; in the UK and many other countries it was originally only issued as a 6-track double soundtrack EP (in both mono and stereo versions) and the album version wasn't issued until 1976, and then only in stereo. 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. Also includes: Deluxe 252 page 12"x12" hardback book which tells the story of The Beatles album by album and with fascinating new essays on the historical importance of vinyl and the mastering process.Although the practice had stopped by the time of the release of the "She Loves You" single, and although it is possible that the master tapes were in EMI's possession in January 1964, when the German language version was recorded, it is commonly believed that those tapes were either stolen or destroyed. 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.
