Mixed All
My Review of The Beatles in Mono Box Set
The Beatles Mono CD Box Set features The Beatles first ten albums in their glorious original mono along with the “Mono Masters” two CD set which includes the original mono versions for all of their non-album songs which were mixed in mono.
The Beatles In Mono is a real “revelation” in many cases. A lot of the band’s earlier songs really sound far~better in mono than they do in stereo because they were originally mixed in mono and the stereo mixes were often done as an “afterthought” (because stereo wasn’t taken very seriously at the time.) Many of The Beatles stereo mixes are totally screwed up by modern standards because they pan everything to one side or the other which can be unsettling to listen to (especially on headphones.)
It’s wonderful to be able to hear tunes like “Eleanor Rigby” & “Taxman” without the ridiculous panning approach that mars the stereo mixes of those songs.
But there’s more differences to these mono mixes than just the panning. In many cases there are actually different takes and different effects used! And in many more cases different instruments/parts are highlighted in the mono mix vs. the stereo mix.
A good example of a significantly different mix in mono vs. stereo is how “She’s Leaving Home” is sped up (and thus faster & higher in tone) in mono.
“I’m Only Sleeping” is a another good example of mixing differences between the two versions beyond simple panning differences. There is more backwards guitar in the mono version of the song than in the stereo mix.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the Mono Masters Non-Album Compilation is that it includes four previously unreleased mono mixes (“All Together Now,” “Hey Bulldog,” “It’s All Too Much,” and “Only a Northern Song.”)

When a Man Loves a Woman [VHS] $1.40 When a Man Loves a Woman is a dumb title (not another classic pop song, please) for a very smart movie. A kind of gender-switch take on The Lost Weekend, it’s about a woman (Meg Ryan) whose alcoholism almost destroys her family. That may sound like just another TV movie, but When a Man Loves a Woman is so authentic in detail and emotion, that everything about it seems fresh, urgent, and engrossing… |

Hercules (Gold Collection) $9.90 Not the egregious foul it seemed to be in theaters, Hercules stands up as an entertaining spritzer of an animated feature. The continual peppering of in-jokes and cultural references becomes less irksome on video. That there’s no majesty or awe invested in the beloved Greek legends also seems less of an error. Also on the plus side is the bounciest Alan Menken music since Little Shop of Horrors. W… |
