Jace59 23rd Aug 2016		I have to agree,Sinkronizer, I too find it hard to believe these are enhanced mono tracks and have to ask if enhanced mono can sound so good on this album, why does 99 per cent of the rest of reprocessed mono sound so crap? As i commented with the Lulu album, most enhanced stereo is awful and if they all sounded like this Beatles album, i would be more than happy to give a thumbs up to the process.



Sinkronizer 2nd Jun 2016		Mono recordings electronically reprocessed, I have had so many albums with this and normally they sound awful, particularly when listening with headphones, basically consisting of bass in one channel, treble in the other and perhaps some slight offset to make each channel seem separated. however this album (and I refer to the 1st issue) I find it hard to believe that these tracks (with the exception of Cry For A Shadow) are not actually stereo, I have never heard any other reprocessed tracks sounding like these with such separation and clarity. Now I know from days gone by that if you crossed the polarities of the speaker wires on many of the early Beatles tracks the vocals would virtually disappear into the background but you could not make the vocals stand out and the instrumentals disappear which would have obviously made it easy to separate them between each channel. If these were mono recordings they sound truly outstanding on this album.

Deltics 24th Sep 2013		"Mono recordings electronically reprocessed to give stereo effect on stereo equipment." Those dread words!
