 I'm glad you agree on that point. The music is surely the most important thing and to present them in a sound format which deviates from the original is not faithful to the original #1 hit, which is what the series was meant to represent. It means that "It's Now or Never" is technically a different version to the one which topped the chart back in 1960. So is that the only recording to make #1 in both mono and stereo? The list of recordings to make #1 more than once is small anyway:
"My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison (1971 and 2002; though with different 'B-sides'),
"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen (1975 and 1991, though on the latter occasion it was a double-A side with "These Are The Days Of Our Lives").
"Jailhouse Rock" (1958 and 2005)
"One Night" / "I Got Stung" (1959 and 2005)
"It's Now Or Never" (1960 and 2005)

EveryHit link
(Although that link hasn't been updated for a while, and my knowledge of the period since then is sketchy!)

"Jailhouse Rock" is also a longer version to the one which made #1 in 1958.

 But... they aren't. What it says on the box is that they come "beautifully packaged in a replica UK RCA generic sleeve with original label artwork." But I believe that generic sleeve is the wrong one for the singles up to '59 (it is one of the great company sleeves though). And the green and white sleeves don't look right at all. And, you know, tri-centres? And the edges are too sharp...

Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer them to be the original mono mixes too. (I'd prefer it if those that were short enough played at 78 too, just because it would sound better.) But ultimately these are new records and it would have been impossible to make them in a way that would have pleased everyone. As this thread demonstrates.

 To all intents and purposes, they were meant to be replicas though.

 I think when they decided to release three-track 10" 45 singles, they were already making it clear that this was not an attempt to recreate historical artefacts.

The only real plus and bonus for the collector was that all the titles that had been recored and mixed for stereo were being cut and pressed that way. The mastering and cutting engineer did a great job with both the stereo and the mono mixes that came out.
Completely rewriting history to use stereo mixes of mono singles. Not a true representation of the originals, really disappointing and a missed opportunity I feel.

 Then That would mean that All the overspill. Copy's after the 10,000 had the same Number so the Next Disc would have the Number. 13442?. How Bizarre. Another thing I remember Is that after the First 10,000. You had the Opportunity to Buy the Lot In the Box rather than Individually as the CD's did as well. And also the Michael Jackson Video/Audio Box was the Same Situation. H.

 Paul Vinyl,are you sure the serial number on your copy is 13341 ?,that would be the same as my copy here ?.Which also could mean that they did issue over 10,000 no?

 Where these like the CD Set Deleted on day of release. Then they pressed more but without the Numbers to Meet Demand. I Have the Cd Set all Numbered. The Box's Were Individually Numbered on the First Release but Not on the Second. H.

 Note a very important point.
The vinyl (pressed in Germany by BMG) were not sleeved/bagged at the presses but after in the sleeving/bagging dept. the individual numbers duplicated more than twice and do not and can not ever relate to the pressing number of the disc. sleeve number 0001 does not contain the first disc from the press etc etc.
was a kind of nice idea by an ex-emi employee now installed in fullham high street trying to impress.
just a great shame many elements were very poor and made Sony/BMG look very greedy and untrustworth and sadly with the 1st release and the free box "All Shook Up", totally incorrect and insulting the both the original UK buyers of All Shook Up both as 10" Shellacs and 7" vinyls that made it No.1 AND all the ex-staff that were at EMI Hayes and part of the H.M.V. label etc!

The only real plus and bonus for the collector was that all the titles that had been recored and mixed for stereo were being cut and pressed that way. The mastering and cutting engineer did a great job with both the stereo and the mono mixes that came out.

The sets do not have the collector's value OR interest as they should have had because of the multi runs of everything, the sleeving/bagging comming to light as a scam, fraud and joke.

There is however an upside to this Sony/BMG legal and pr held an olive branch to both EMI and HMV retail. and two special 10" repro vinyls came out. 1. on green EMI-Columbia and one on the Plumb and gold text EMI-HMV (7" label) .

 No i only have the one, Paul vinyl,i was suprised to see this was the first one,i remember them on sale in HMV for quite a while,and i'm sure demand was so great that they had to re-press over the 10,000 to meet demand.Perhaps people will start digging them out:)

 I'm afraid i've been a bit cheeky here and uploaded left and right scans for the cover,as i cannot merge images on my pc.I have tried downloading ICE, but it does not want to work with my operating system.Perhaps some kind soul with 10 mins to spare could merge?,if not ,then delete.I believe this record may have been made in holland due to the "Der Grune Funkt"sticker on the front?.Apologies for not too clear label scans as it is still sealed.
