Been listening to The Beatles ...

I also was hoping that the new Beatles CD was up to the same sonics as the Love Album as well,and it just is not really of the same quality.Although I am still pleased with the issues I have bought.Which are Get Back,Abbey Road, St. Peppers,Magical Mystery Tour, and The White Album.
The most disappointed to me was The White Album.Just to rough in the top end,and sounded thin in the midband for my tastes. I remebered The Mobile Fidelity Vinyl was much more sweet and natural sounding.
St. Peppers on the Stereo CD Master was nice,But Mobile Fidelity's UHQR Limited Edition is something very special sonically and wish I still had that,But sold it to Chad many years ago.The midband on that pressing is so natural sweet and real along with a more expansive soundstage and more post echo reverb from the studio could be heard.
Abbey Road Stereo remaster, and Magical Mystery Tour so far are the Best of the bunch that I have heard thus far,
But I hear that Rubber Soul is very special so I will be anxious to get that one.

Mono on Rubber is amazing. Somewhat disappointed with the White album, does not sound "integrated" and "organic" like the earlier albums, although like many of Paul's songs on it, including Mother Natures Son and Honey Pie. Very weird little ditties that sound amazingly fresh by today's standards. These would sound great next to the material he later recorded on his first two albums.

I noticed since purchasing The Help CD in stereo from the 8 I have already that the sound is more organic and more natural sounding. I assume it must be from using maybe an earlier Ampex Reel to Reel deck, instead of the newer transistor sounding 8 track reel to reel recorders they may have used in the later years at the studio. Does anyone have any thoughts on this or any information?

76doublebass,
There's an insane amount of related information at the Steve Hoffman site. More than I can wade through.

I've gotten a lot of listening time in of all Beatles CDs in my collection ripped to music server (along with new mono box set) over the last few weeks. I've also had a chance to listen and compare with other good mono remasters recorded originally back in the original 50's rock and roll era.

My verdict is that some of the Beatles mono recordings from the box set are as good as any I have heard and others are still somewhat lacking, especially in regards to dynamics, so it is very much a mixed bag. I do think in general that even the lesser recordings are at least as good or better than their CD predecessors I have heard.

So the mono box set results are a mixed bag still, but in general as good or better than what came before on CD at least. Maybe there is still room for improvement with some cuts, or maybe that's just the extent of what the original master tapes have to offer...I guess we'll see as some of the new online higher res digital downloads I have read about start to become available.
