It's not possible to explain how good these remasters are compared to the compact discs from the 80's so I'll just say this ... if you love the Beatles' music; throw away your old versions of these cds buy this box set.
Also, you are in for a treat if you remember the original vinyl albums as the original packaging is recreated for the cds right down to the album sleeves .....very groovy.

Although the Mono releases of The Beatles (as well as other artists) were phased out by 1969, this is how many people fondly remember these special recordings with great appreciation. This unique box set, "The Beatles In Mono", gathers together every album by The Beatles that were originally released in the original monaural sound. Albums in this set include "Please Please Me", "With The Beatles", "A Hard Day's Night", "Beatles For Sale", "Help!", "Rubber Soul", "Revolver", "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Magical Mystery Tour" and "The Beatles" (also known as "The White Album"). In addition to the original mono versions, both "Help!" and "Rubber Soul" also feature their original 1965 Stereo mixes, as well. Plus, there is also an extra CD included in this set, entitled "Mono Masters", which features the many varied recordings by the group that were not originally featured on the original albums. One of the true highlights of the "Mono Masters" CD is the first-time release of the songs that were specifically used for the soundtrack of the 1968 animated film "Yellow Submarine". These 4 recordings ("Only A Northern Song", "All Together Now", "Hey Bulldog", "It's All Too Much") are all presented in their original monaural mixes for the very first time, as they were scheduled to be included as part of a "Yellow Submarine" EP release in 1969. What you have here is The Beatles the way that they first sounded in the 1960's, now brought to the forefront for the 21st century. This limited edition box set is another welcome addition to the legacy of the fab four!

The Beatles in Mono? Oh my!Review created: 11/20/09

1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
It's hard to believe anyone would even consider purchasing a music CD these days that wasn't at least recorded in stereo, but the amazing worldwide sales of this Beatles Box Set has proven appreciation of certain artists produced in old-time monaural is still a big thing. If you're a long-time Beatles fan, then owning this release of their original recordings is an absolute must. But if you're just an occasional listener, then consider purchasing your favorite Beatle album individually on mono CD. Once you hear the astounding quality, though, you may find yourself searching out the box set after all. And the quality doesn't stop at the audio... production of the covers, etc., is absolutely beautiful. It's not easy shelling out big bucks for something like this these days, but once you have it in your hands you will never regret the decision to buy it. And listening to The Beatles the way they meant for you to hear them will create a listening pleasure unbeatable by any stereo recording.
Buy the box, listen to the music, and read (in the enclosed booklet) all about the early days of record-making. Everyone can now relive the true sound of those four masterminds from Liverpool. Long live The Beatles!

The Stereo Box Set is terrific but for completists and people wanting to hear the original vision of the band and George Martin when it comes to the earlier albums then you must buy this set. Casual fans can stik with the Stereo Box.

This is the one to get!Forget about the stereo remasters. From their debut "Please Please Me" through the "White Album", the mono remasters are vastly superior for their "mix" alone.
These mono remasters were not "sweetened" like the "stereo remasters", but the fact that the mono mix places the entire band right in front of you makes this collection a winner.
With the stereo mixes, I was getting really tired of hearing the vocals & drums far away in one side of my headphones, while the guitar & bass were far away in the other side. Now with these mono remaster mixes, the whole band is playing together right in front of me..... the way the Beatles & George Martin (producer) intended it to be.

) One of the best box sets ever made, the package is great and the mini lp vinyl replicas are exactly as the originl versions that I also have, so if u are a really beatles fan you´ll really enjoy it, personally I think this box is best than the beatles stereo remastered box set.

The Beatles in Mono box setReview created: 11/24/09
by:
This is how The Beatles sounded as they recorded their music. I like the rawness of the recording, as I believe it adds to the feeling and spirit of the songs and the era. I decided to buy it because of the quality of the sound as well as the limited pressing of the box set. I feel that, being a limited issue, it will have more value in the years to come. A great set, with great songs and a future of appreciation in the collector market drove me to make the purchase. I am happy that I did.

Beatles Mono Box Set
) I wanted to buy another Mono Box Set and I chose to buy from a proven seller. The Mono set is different musically from the Stereo and I really enjoyed it. The packaging for the individual albums is a work of art. Love it!
