Hi Jim, As with my assessment of the 87 stereo CD's vs the new stereo remastered CDs, the mono remasters of the first four are superior in every way to the 87 mono cd's exactly as described by Jaybo. The new remasters sound like the albums I listened to many years ago. I have been listening to the Beatles forever and the 87 cd's were never sonically right in conveying the Beatles music. The remastered CD's have restored the emotional impact of the Beatles music to the way I remember it, all those years ago and that makes me very happy!
Beatles: Mono a Mono
Has anyone compared the four mono CDs issued in 1987 to the same CDs in the new box set?
Ie, it seems that many people prefer the new mono versions to the new stereo versions, but what I am wondering is how much and what kinds of differences there are between the original monos and the new monos.
I've compared the new stereo versions to the originals, and found them a bit bright, but I've also heard that less work was done on the mono versions, and I'm hoping that the tone hasn't changed from the originals.
