Review: The Beatles In Mono Remastered Mono Mix CD Box Set
The Beatles Mono Box Set features The Beatles first ten albums in their glorious original mono mixes along with the “Mono Masters” double CD set which includes the mono versions for all of their non-album songs that were mixed in mono.
The Beatles Mono CD Box Set is a real “revelation” in some cases. A lot of the band’s earlier songs really sound far~better in mono than they do in stereo because they were originally mixed in mono and the stereo mixes were often done as an “afterthought” (because stereo wasn’t taken very seriously at the time.) Many of The Beatles stereo mixes are totally screwed up by the standards of today because they pan everything to one side or the other which can be annoying to listen to (especially when listening on headphones.)
It’s great to be able to hear tracks like Paul McCartney’s “Eleanor Rigby” & George Harrison’s “Taxman” without the wide panning approach that screws up their stereo versions of these tracks.
Panning is not the only differences between the mono & stero mixes. In some cases there are actually different takes and different effects used! And in many more cases different instruments/parts are highlighted in the mono mix vs. the stereo mix.
A good example of a different mix in mono vs. stereo is “Helter Skelter” because it’s almost a full minute shorter in mono than in stereo and it doesn’t include the “blisters on my fingers” yell at the end.
Another good example is all of the extra vocal effects on the mono mix of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” But really a lot of the songs on the mono Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band have a lot more vocal effects than do their stereo sisters.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the Mono Masters Compilation is that it includes four previously unreleased mono mixes (“Hey Bulldog,” “All Together Now,” “It’s All Too Much,” and “Only a Northern Song.”) These four mono versions have never been released before in any format (not tape, LP, or CD!)

Heart Is a Lonely Hunter [VHS] $19.98 This quiet, sentimental 1968 drama based on the Carson McCullers novel is considered a classic contemporary coming-of-age film about alienation and love. Alan Arkin (The In-Laws) stars as a kind, but lonely deaf-mute who befriends a lonely teenage girl in his boarding house. Set in the deep South, the film depicts a wistful small-town life with an undercurrent of turmoil and intolerance. It featur… |

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band [VHS] $3.37 If it weren’t for a couple of inspired performances, as well as the time-capsule weirdness of it all, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band would be definitively unwatchable. This misguided effort to dramatize the classic Beatles album (the Fab Four had nothing to do with it, thank goodness) also includes tunes from other Beatles LPs, strung together in lumbering ’70s rock-opera style.
