180-Gram LPs Available Sept 8,Individually and in a Limited 14-LP Boxed
Edition with Hardbound Book.
London–June 12,2014–The Beatles in mono:this is how most listeners
first heard the group in the 1960s,when mono was the predominant audio
format.Up until 1968, each Beatles album was given a unique mono and
stereo mix,but the group always regarded the mono as primary.On
September 8 (September 9 in North America),The Beatles’nine UK
albums,the American-compiled Magical Mystery Tour,and the Mono Masters
collection of non-album tracks will be released in mono on 180-gram
vinyl LPs with faithfully replicated artwork.Newly mastered from the
analogue master tapes, each album will be available both individually
and within a lavish, limited 14-LP boxed edition,The Beatles In Mono,which also includes a 108-page hardbound book.

In
an audiophile-minded undertaking,The Beatles' acclaimed mono albums
have been newly mastered for vinyl from quarter-inch master tapes at
Abbey Road Studios by GRAMMY®-winning engineer Sean Magee and
GRAMMY®-winning mastering supervisor Steve Berkowitz.While The Beatles
In Mono CD boxed set released in 2009 was created from digital
remasters,for this new vinyl project, Magee and Berkowitz cut the
records without using any digital technology. Instead, they employed
the same procedures used in the 1960s,guided by the original albums and
by detailed transfer notes made by the original cutting engineers.

Working
in the same room at Abbey Road where most of The Beatles'albums were
initially cut,the pair first dedicated weeks to concentrated listening,fastidiously comparing the master tapes with first pressings of the
mono records made in the 1960s. Using a rigorously tested Studer A80
machine to play back the precious tapes,the new vinyl was cut on a
1980s-era VMS80 lathe.

Manufactured
for the world at Optimal Media in Germany,The Beatles' albums are
presented in their original glory,both sonically and in their
packaging.The boxed collection's exclusive 12-inch by 12-inch hardbound
book features new essays and a detailed history of the mastering
process by award-winning radio producer and author Kevin Howlett.The
book is illustrated with many rare studio photos of The Beatles,fascinating archive documents, and articles and advertisements sourced
from 1960s publications.
