"Yes, a few tracks do work well in stereo, but they all work in mono.  There’s more to hear and more obvious is the greater finesse that went into the  mono mixes where all of the elements perfectly fit together into a far more  cohesive blend... The Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band reissue is, in my  opinion, another complete success. The pressing quality of my sample was like  the others so far: perfectly flat and perfectly quiet." -Michael Fremer,  analogplanet, Music 10/10, Sound 11/10!

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is recognized as one of the most  influential albums of all time by prominent critics and publications. Features  "With a Little Help From My Friends", "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds", and "When  I'm Sixty Four".

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. The Beatles’ nine U.K. albums, the American-compiled Magical  Mystery Tour, and the Mono Masters collection of non-album tracks are released  in mono on 180-gram vinyl LPs with faithfully replicated artwork and newly  mastered from the analogue master tapes.

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.
