The Beatles – The Beatles In Mono

Yep, pretty bottlegy: the print quality a font types are a bit pedestrian, particularly on the CD labels, and the plastic inners for the cd’s suck big time. My CD player has a hard time playing the music, but it’s an old weary one so it most likely needs replacement.
I wonder how the sound quality compares to the official CD version, but as far as I’m concerned this one does the job.
If anyone is looking for a copy, I’ll be happy to let go of mine as I rarely play cd (or the Beatles, for that matter) these days. Get in touch 😊

Somebody parted out a copy of this for some reason 10 years ago and I got a copy of the "Revolver" LP... don't know what the rest of the Box sounds like but I would take this CD to the Grave with me..absolute stunning mono UK Revolver, came with the little plastic outer and the inners... Matrix numbers on the CD seem to indicate Japanese production.

Do we need another review? No, probably not, but I wanted to tell anyone that was worried that it may not live up to hype, IT REALLY IS AS GOOD AS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TELLING US IT IS. I literally teared up listening to some of these songs. If you’re a big fan, sell whatever you need to sell and pull out your credit card and buy a NM copy. The vinyl is DEAD silent. Having this set is as close as most of us will ever get to hearing the mono master tapes. I can’t believe I finally own this set. If you can find a set that you can afford, buy it.

finally got one! the mono mixes are amazing, definitely worth the hype

Hello If anyone still interested in this item please me, thank you!

This member demo-man-david is reporting all the posts he cannot refute and then editing his own or reposting - even attempting to use my own words against me - when he was caught out. Just do a browser search for "ebay community the beatles in mono" and you can read in his posts which reveal 1. The item WAS bought on eBay 2. He DID pay £100 3. The seller WAS based in China, all of which he had denied & then redacted once he was caught out, and became abusive calling me a "blabbermouth" and to get MY facts right! 🙄

So what if i did.I certainly didn't say it was a Chinese seller (all i said was that i suspected it to be a Chinese fake) but i bought it from a seller in the UK in Harrow.
Try getting your facts correct.
All you want to do is slander me and i take exception to that.

Thank you aminovel i always thought it should be on the outside but how wrong can i be.
I've some more info on this box set.The actual weight of an original set should be around 840 grams but mine is 745 grams so there's a weight difference as well as everything else.

After searching for nearly a decade, a near mint set finally came into the record store I shop and that feeling of finding a holy grail was felt! After a thorough cleaning I am just blown away by the Sonics of these pressings. Comparing to the stereo vinyl box that was released around the same time it just is night and day.

It’s not to say that the stereo box set is bad but there’s a reason why so many others on here and on YouTube just praise this set. I found that the book that came with the box to really be an enjoyable read and appreciate the breakdown of the differences in certain tracks in this mono box set.

I’ve spoken to others and like many on here firmly believe that this isn’t getting a repress anytime soon which is a shame because hearing these records in mono, (Especially their first 4 albums) is night and day.

The price is just what it is, just like anything out there. We won’t see something like this for a long time, at least not until Giles finishes putting his touch on each album IMO.
They are still out there folks, you just have to be like Captain Ahab and keep hunting for the white whale or go broke trying.

That's very insulting and i take exception to your comments jamie23.5.People like you shouldn't be allowed to reply to comments if you can't leave constructive ideas.How dare you call me cheap and not bothered.(This has been reported to Discogs)
If you can't be bothered to give sensible then DON'T BOTHER AT ALL.
FYI i wasn't "humming and hawing" as you put i was trying to find out if i had a genuine or fake copy and i didn't buy it on ebay either so get your facts right before blabbing your mouth off.
To everybody else who contributed "sensibly" to the issue regarding the fake box set.I have a friend who purchased the same box set from a different seller and he tells me that on his Please Please Me cd it skip 3 times on Love Me Do,exactly the same place as mine does so i can definitely confirm that is a Chinese counterfeit/fake.Buyers please be aware and not fall into the same trap i did.If the price sounds to good to be true then it definitely IS.
