Dr. Ebbetts Beatles CD's

Does anyone know about these CD's? I'm trying to get a mono copy of REVOLVER & RUBBER SOUL. The red Jap. mono vinyl is out of my price range.

I saw an auction on eBay, as follows:
GENUINE DR EBBETTS RELEASE

REVOLVER - JAPANESE RED MONO ORIGINAL CD

EAS 70136

******************************

Up for auction is a brand spanking new Dr. Ebbetts CD release - the Japanese Red Vinyl monophonic version of the Beatles' 1966 LP REVOLVER. This CD is soured directly from the coveted 1981 Japanese Red Mono Vinyl Collection, featuring what is now being talked about amongst collectors as the best sounding version of the original MONO REVOLVER LP available. This is an absolute genuine Dr. Ebbetts release, featuring the new full disc Ebbetts printing system, inserts and incredible audio. The clarity and sound here is the best available.

No paper labels, no cheapos. The real Ebbetts. Sharp, beautiful printing all around, top notch graphics. the best sound.

You will be receiving a brand new, never played, still in the original re-sealable sleeve copy of this Ebbetts release.

Is this an authorized CD-R, an Apple pressing, or a bootleg? I've never heard of "Dr. Ebberts"??? BTW, the CD went for $66.00

Hey Arnold relax, if you're a Beatles fan and haven't purchased anything that might be a bootleg, than you should be canonized. :>)

My understanding is the Dr Ebbetts versions are mastered from the vinyl albums of the Beatles on Mobile Fidelity. I am starting to question that theory though because Mobile Fidelity produced the British parlophone versions of the Beatles catalogue and not the American version of the Beatles albums, and yet I know that right now there is a so called Dr. Ebbetts version of Beatles VI which is an American Beatles release, being auctioned on EBAY!! I have an Ebbetts mono version of Revolver on CD which I won on EBAY. I would say that the sound is good, not great, but you cannot get a mono version of Revolver in your local store. I also won it at $25, I don't think it is worth more than that.

Arnold, I totally agree with you, but it is so hard to resist when it comes to the Beales!

Undertow,

Many of the mixes are different and it is what the Beatles themselves had a hand in. The Beatles preferred that their work be done in mono and were involved throughout the process. When it came time for the stereo versions, they left George Martin and Geoff Emerick to their own devices. Some of the songs just have a completely different feel and impact in mono. I guess you have to hear them!
