You know, we had everything coming out of one speaker now it had to come out of two speakers. When they invented stereo, I remember thinking 'Why? What do you want two speakers for?', because it ruined the sound from our point of view. And there was one speaker right in the middle and that was it. George Harrison commented:Īt that time the console was about this big with four faders on it. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, all the mono mixes were done together with the Beatles themselves, throughout the recording of the album, whereas the stereo mixes were done in only six days by Abbey Road personnel George Martin, Geoff Emerick and Richard Lush after the album had been finished, with none of the Beatles attending. Many feel that the mono mixes reflect the true intention of the band. Therefore, the last few Beatles albums- Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, and Let It Be-were mixed and released only in stereo. By the late sixties, however, stereo recording for pop music was becoming more popular and, thus, the new standard. This explains why the Beatles' initial album releases were mixed for mono. Stereo recordings were a fairly new concept for pop music in the 1960s and did not become standard until late in that decade. The Beatles in Mono was released to reflect the fact that most of the Beatles' catalogue was originally mixed and released in the monophonic format. The boxed set was released on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl on 8 September 2014, mastered directly from the original analog tapes and not the digital masters used for the CD release. The release date of 09/09/09 is related to the significance to John Lennon of the number nine.

The remastering project for both mono and stereo versions was led by EMI senior studio engineers Allan Rouse and Guy Massey. The set was released on compact disc on 9 September 2009, the same day the remastered stereo recordings and companion The Beatles (The Original Studio Recordings) were also released, along with The Beatles: Rock Band video game. The Beatles in Mono is a boxed set compilation comprising the remastered monaural recordings by the Beatles.

The ‘Wall of Glass’ hitmaker posted: “I’m more surprised at the fact the witch has let him hook into his past glories, he must have put it together while she was out on her broom for her hourly exercise.” Liam also took aim at Sara – who he previously accused of being the person responsible for preventing an Oasis reunion – saying he was “surprised at the fact the witch has let him hook into his past glories”. Mocking Noel for the ‘lost’ Oasis song, Liam told a fan on Twitter at the time: “It’s the only way he’s gonna stay relevant, by putting out Oasis demos as no f***er gives a s*** about his new stuff.” He added: “I was like, ‘Well hang on a minute, it’s ten years since I went solo, why don’t we just do a best of?’” The career-spanning collection, ‘Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021)’, is being released on June 11.

Liam hadn’t gotten round to doing the vocals.”Īfter the greatest hits album was shelved, Noel decided to put out a best of album to mark a decade of High Flying Birds. “There’s a great version of ‘Eleanor Rigby’, a punk version, and an amazing version of ‘It’s All Too Much’ we did on the day George died. I’m putting on these CDs and I found a load of old Oasis stuff, like songs I’d never recorded but demoed. “I went, ‘Right, today I’m going to f****** take that’. Noel told Record Collector magazine: “There was this box in the cupboard under the stairs with all these blank CDs in.
