The Beatles in Mono 2014 14xLP Vinyl Box Set - Near Mint Vinyl + hardcover Book

Vinyl are mint in polysleeves. The first 4 albums are still sealed and have never been played. Outer box has a few small tears and other minor cosmetic flaws.

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.

Albums included in the box set are REVOLVER, MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR, RUBBER SOUL, WITH THE BEATLES, MONO MASTERS (3LP SET), THE BEATLES (2LP SET), BEATLES FOR SALE, SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND, PLEASE PLEASE ME, HELP! and A HARD DAY'S NIGHT.

Since the mono box set does not have the Beatles last 4 albums I have included them in with this set, although in stereo. Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, Let It Be, and the double album Love. That brings the total to 19 LP’s. These 4 albums are in stereo, and were included for completion sake, to have all American Beatles albums in one box. There is a minimum of surface scratches and smudges and tiny dust spots. They haven’t been played often and have been taken care of. BTW these mono LPs sound unlike anything I’ve ever heard coming from my stereo and I have a nice Rega table.
