9/9/9: The Beatles Mono Mixes Album Box Set Introduces The Original Beatles Mono Mixes To CD For The First Time

By Roger R. Temperton

For the majority of The Beatles career (all the way up until the last couple of years) mono was the main way that people listened to music and thus the mono mixes of their albums were the ones they spent most of their time on. The stereo mixes (that have been on CD for the past 20+ years) were basically "thrown together" while the mono mixes were worked on until they were perfect.

These original mono mixes are finally being released on CD (for the first time ever) on 9/9/9. Many Beatles fans are excited to hear these mono mixes because they could be considered to be the "real" versions of these classic albums, after all they are the mixes that the band worked on the most.

On 9/9/9 The Beatles Mono Box Set will be released and it will include The Beatles first 10 studio albums with their original mono mixes. It will also include Help! and Rubber Soul in their original stereo mix (the first time this original stereo mix will be heard on CD.) Along with all of these albums, there's also a compilation titled Mono Masters which contains all of The Beatles non-album songs mixed in mono.

The Beatles last three albums (Yellow Submarine, Let It Be, and Abbey Road) are not in the mono box set because they were never mixed in mono.

The original stereo mixes for Help! and Rubber Soul were decided to be not suitable when the Beatles CDs were first released in the 1980s so new mixes were created of these two albums. That means the original stereo mixes (as released in the 1960s on LP) have never made their way onto CD. Until now. That's why they are included in this mono box set even though they are not mono mixes. It's to complete the "historical record."

For many years now someone would have had to find an original vinyl copy of Help! and Rubber Soul in order to hear their original stereo mixes, that could be quite difficult (and quite expensive) to do. With this new Mono Box Set, it will be easy.

So what about the Mono Masters compilation? It's the mono version of it's stereo counterpart, Past Masters. It contains all of The Beatles non-album tracks in their original mono mixes.

"Hey Jude," "Paperback Writer," & "Day Tripper" are among the many Beatles hits included in mono in the Mono Masters set. Interesting B-sides like "Rain," "This Boy," & "Yes It Is" are on it too.

If you only want to buy a few specific Beatles albums in mono (such as The White Album & Sgt. Pepper) then you are plum out of luck. These CD versions of the mono mixes of The Beatles albums are only available as a part of this Mono Box Set. - 18762
