brevkurt Tell me one reason. It would be interesting to hear more of your points of views.
As I said before, some arrangements in "Peppar" are perhaps innovative in popular music, but not the melodies, except perhaps "Lucy" and "A Day in the Life". . There are more innovative m e l o d i e s in ( the Lennon compositions) i the album "A Hard Day´s Night".
@Johan93888 hes right, a hard days night has alot more innovative melody's and chord changes. it may be raw but there is alot more to "a hard days night"
jdenicholls Interesting to hear. Which melodies are innovative? Even George Harrison thought the songs, except "Lucy" and "A Day in the Life", were just ordinary songs (the Beatles Athology, 2000, page 252). "She´s Leaving Home" is beautiful, but conventional, very alike Mendelsohn´s violin consert second movement.
Recently I studied a little Music History. Paradigm today is Chord, Chord and Chord or Harmony. In 1,5 years I never heard the word "Melody". It has no status, it´s just for the publ
Thye mono mix of 'Pepper's' sounds quite a bit tougher than the stereo mix. It's likely that the band (or at least some of them) were present at the (main) mono mix and then buggered off to let the engineer sort out the stereo which, at the time, was considered less important. This why some consider mono mixes to be more representative of the ban'd wishes (if, indeed, they had any choice - which the Fabs possibly did...).
A very overrated album. It has just ordinary songs for example the titelsong and "Lovely Rita". But "A Day in the Life" and "Lucy in the Sky of Diamonds" are really good.The album got it´s popularity because the establishment liked it -- after they had heard "Yesterday". It´s innovative just because of some arrangements, but not innovative in melodies. Album "A Hard Da´s Night" is more innovative.
@Johan93888 Pretty sure most people agree that the songs on Peppers aren't the Beatles strongest. But it still kicks arse. And to be honest with you most of the Beatles songs had innovative chord choices and melodies.

Now that is the way Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is supposed to sound.
My stereo CD version always sounded a bit clunky in parts, especially listening to it on headphones, the sounds separated out to left and right too much.
I don't know if anyone has brought this up, but I'm really impressed by the mono version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". WOW! It sounds heavily flanged or phased compared to the stereo.!
My grandma gave me some albums that belonged to my mom that had been there long before I was born. Saw Pepper in the pile and it was so cool...so much bigger than the CD I always had. Popped it on my new turntable and it sounded somewhat different than the version I always knew. Had more detail and punch to the sound. Turned out to be the mono version. Now, when I hear my old Pepper CD, it's sounds real "off" or something. Sticking with the mono.
@bevsface Someone should remind you that you are hearing these songs for free. If you have such a problem with the way it was done... do it yourself. No one owes you anything here.
@dualead I disagree Eric Clapton didn't write most of his famous songs. He actually is one of the best guitarist. That is why he made it so far with his career, even after most artist his age didn't.
I've just been listening to this and comparing it with the stereo version. I was surprsed 'cause I thought the mono version's were the ones where you can hear the different instruments only through one side or the other of the headphones and the stereo was the version which made it sound like everything was going into ears from both sides. This sounds more sophisticated than stereo. V.strange.
@Stube437 Mono means you hear the exact same sound from both speakers. Originally it was meant for one speaker, but if you listen from two speakers it's the same sound from both.
Stereo has different sound from both speakers. Most stereo these days has the same instruments in both speakers, but each has a subtly different volume level.
60's stereo mixes sucked until 1968 for albums, and 1969 for singles.
If anyone is on the fence about buying the 2009 Mono Remasters Box Set, don't think about it...BUY IT!! I've had it for a week now and it's phenominal....If you have the extra cash, I recommend getting the stereo remasters too (at least for everything after the first 5 albums). George Martin was right!! "You haven't heard Sgt. Pepper's until you've heard it in mono...." However, I personally prefer Mr. Kite in stereo...The mono version of "She's Leaving Home" is my absolute fav Beatles tune!
I'm sorry, I know I'm going to piss a lot of people off by saying this, but Eric Clapton is one of the most OVER-RATED guitarist of all time....He's a great player, I love the soul he puts into his music, but he's a much better songwriter than instrumentalist. There's nothing to write home about his technical ability that sets him apart IMHO. That's coming from being a guitarist/pianist myself....Take it of leave it....
@DuaLeaD - I reckon he was superb in the sixties, among the best of the day but over the decades has been by those old standards less than superb if that's what you are getting at.
this is serious rock and roll and George Harrison's opening lead guitar represents what it is to play lead guitar (yes it is George Harrison and not Paul Mccartney). From the 60's only Jeff Beck and Hendrix (of course all the black blues players that made up rock and roll guitar) could match this. Well The End by the Beatles with George's insane guitar lead is also a bench mark for how to play lead guitar.

@tmasonmi5 It's well-established that Eric Clapton played many of the leads once attributed to George Harrison. Harrison had a good sound but simply isn't in the same league as the other "guitar gods." And he knew it, to his credit.
Sorry to burst you bubble, only While My Guitar Gently Weeps Clapton played on. As a serious and successful guitarist Clapton is not the greatest, his theory is adequate at best. In Cream he was great but fact of the matter time has shown Claptons limitations, blues scales is all he knows and those are really not on key when you are playing in major keys. Prime example Badge, great song, solo is in a minor key, song is in G. He is playing blue notes like F. Really off key!
I thought he played on other Beatles tunes as well but I can't point to the exact citations right now. Maybe not. And I wasn't claiming Clapton was the greatest, by any means. He's a limited player. That Badge solo, though, is one of the all-time greats in a short rock song. No, not for technique, but for passion and effect. In any case, it's all subjective. Love what you love and skip the rest.
Some of the mono mixes have very different mixes than the stereo versions, featuring things that can't be heard on the stereo one. The ending of Sgt. Pepper reprise has Paul yelling something different than the stereo, and I've heard that She's Leaving Home is slower. Not sure about the rest of the album.
@101gamelover the mono Sgt. Peppers is superior to the stereo. It is in a store on CD in the mono box set. ITs worth every dime. Much easier and enjoyable headphone listening in mono also.
I was listening to this with the volume on MAX, and singing along also very loudly; at the end of "Sgt. Pepper", I went "BIIIIIIILLYYYYYYY SHEEEEEEAAAAARS"..., but didn't know about the gap between the songs! So the entire building has heard me calling Billy Shears! *bluuuuuushes*
It might sound stupid, but this whole album reminds me of the beautiful summers at my grandparents (And I am a "rain-guy"). Especially "With a Little Help ..." reminds me of their house in the countryside. I love the countryside...
i'd never heard that guitar cresendo at the end of sgt peppers right befor it goes into with a little help, i have the sterio remix and i dont think it comes through as good as the mono
the beatles were way ahead of their time, what other band in that time would have thought of being so experimental with the fear of losing fans? but it only made the beatles better cause honestly just singing about love had to be annoying lol.
It's very sad that ONLY Paul and Ringo are still kickin' it. But it IS awesome that Paul was honored at the White House last night! Obama, YOU KNOW HOW TO ROCK!
i've said this on another video, but hearing this in mono is like hearing this for the first time. it's an entirely different album. i feel like i've been robbed all these years.
@MultiOgar That is true. But back then was a different story. Back then stereo was not standard and they would also have to mix the tracks separately. It is said that all the Beatles tracks before white onion were better as mono.
All the tracks sound better in mono, but did any one else notice the HUGE difference in Lucy in the Sky? I'm outraged that the stereo version was released in the first place. This is so much better. The Beatles actually helped do the mono mixes and left the stereo mixes for George Martin to do. I always though that St. Peppers sounded a bit empty, now I know why. My old stereo CD is a piece of shit.
@beaurain82, i've seen your comment on a number of posts now, and you really don't seem to know what you are talking about. ALL of the Beatles' music was recorded on analogue tapes and there are always new ways of improving their quality, the Beatles didn't use an 8 track until 'Hey Jude' in 1968; meaning Sgt. Pepper is in 'compressed' stereo on the bounced down tracks, whereas mono doesn't comprimise on sound quality. Vinyl is the best way to listen to them, but vinyl is high quite mainainance
music is meant to be listened to, portability is just a luxury that comes at a cost. Most people who listen to music today couldnt tell a bad recording from a good recording. For my money, nothing compares to the whole pepper era in mono and on vinyl, exactly the way the beatles intended it.
whats the deal with remastering a mono mix? and even though these albums have all but been remastered. why bother most if not all were originally recorded on analog single track by this time 8 track stereo recording but really how much better can we be remastering old recordings? after all id rather still today hear the beatles as they were intended to be heard. via vinyl
Mono or stereo, it's an amazing album. I prefer stereo because I like to sometimes listen to hear one side of the mix and hear how certain instruments are isolated. You hear things you never knew were there hiding in the full mix. Same with Zeppelin.
No se trata de la remasterización. En la mezcla mono (que llevó muchas mas horas que la stereo) ellos incluyeron a lot of things que nunca figuraron en la maldita mezcla stereo.
Wide stereo is a thing of the past in pop/rock music. In most cases it's hard to tell if a 2009 pop/rock recording is stereo since everything is centered in the mix. It's been that way for quite some time. The best recordings today are layered with tracks hard right/left, then gradually focused towards the center. However, the reason these mono masters are appreciated so much is the above. Go back to Smashing Pumpkins' "Mellon Collie.." album. There is no true seperation until the vocals.
I love the way this mono remaster sounds, but i think the stereo is just as good, even though different sounding. but this doesn't go for all the albums. for example, i think that A HARD DAY'S NIGHT sounds much better in stereo and so does BEATLES FOR SALE, inspite of the extreme paneling.
actually, i always play the cds on my stereo system when i make a comparison between mono and stereo.
i've never used an iPod, and i don't think that computer speakers even good quality ones, can give you more than a rough idea about the quality of a recording
If I were a mixng engineer I'd mix some of today's artists in the same stereo layout as those of the 60s.
I'd flange Rihanna so that her voice would surround the listener, slightly ahead of time in one channel, a tad behind on the other. Listen to "Tomorrow never knows"(stereo) for what I mean.
Kanye? Pan him to one side and his rhythm track to the other. Bleed some echo from west into the center, along with echo from the rhythm track.
al diablo todos, fuck!!!!!!!! porque se debaten entre sai el mono es mejor que el stereo, son los beatles solo escuchen la musica y callense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love the beatles forever from mexico city
I have read about the superiority of these mono mixes, but NOW I''m a believer. The phasing on the vocals is much heavier. VERY groundbreaking sounds.
While mono sounds better in some cases with the beatles because some of the stereo mixes are kinda terrible (which I thought they'd change with the remixes!!!). Yellow Submarine (the movie) is even more trippy in 5.1 especially its only a northern song!!
I have a question -- My old stereo receiver (from 1978) has a switchable option stereo/mono mode. So, if I'd buy the stereo remasters and select the mono mode in my receiver, would it be the same as buying the mono remasters? I've tried with stereo and it really works, but I don't know whether there's any difference, cause I've never heard the mono mixes. But in theory, there shouldn't have. What do you think?
im not sure but I doubt it. Since people have asked me about playing stereo mixes and changing the headphones to "mono" ad that definitely doesn't work.
This definitely wouldn't work. The mono mixes are completely different from the stereo mixes. Even the tempos are different in some of them. According to their engineer, Geoff Emerick, much more time was spent on the mono mixes than the stereo ones since hardly anyone even had stereo technology in 1967. He claims the stereo ones were made more for novelty's sake....you should definitely get the mono versions
yes, I'm aware of she's leaving home being sped up and everything. But apart from the overdubs and effects, in a general context, concentrating more in the frequencies, for example, if I would play stereo mixes in mono, why wouldn't they deliever the same "punch" like they claim mono has? I'm more into the idea of getting the mono, but I'd like to know what I'd be buying, out of listener's curiosity. I mean, what exactly would change - sonically speaking (low end, top end) - from one to another?
As far as the high end and low end goes there's probably not much difference. What I find interesting are the different choices they made in the two mixes: Different instruments are louder or quieter in the two mixes etc. I still love the stereo mix too, it's just that apparently much more effort was spent on the mono (at this point in their career) and that the people involved in the mixing process Geoff Emerick/George Martin) claim the mono mixes to be the definitive ones.
@marcelcruzeiro it won't work, because some parts of the song, such as the guitar, could be on a certain channel and could be lost. Also, the Mono masters are different in some ways.
it wont work, if you play the stereo mixes in mono it wont sound like this. It wil sound like the stereo version but the same thing will come out of both speakers
@marcelcruzeiro That would depend on how big of a Beatles fan you were. If you really like the Beatles' catalog, the mono remasters are definitely worth an investment, as the mixes, vocals, sound effects and/or musical backings are, in many instances, completely different takes. There are enough little differences to warrant the investment, if you can spare the money. They've repeatedly said they put the most effort int the mono mixes, as the were still the standard of that era. Food for thought
@marcelcruzeiro To the casual listener, switching a stereo mix to mono with your mono switch will sound acceptable. The commercial mono mixes are carefully balanced, which are much better sounding. The early "wide stereo" mixes are better candidates for switching to mono with the switch, but still a serious listen to an actual mono mix will be more satisfying!
@marcelcruzeiro The stereo mixes are totally different than de mono mixes, sometimes they used even different vocal tracks (such as in "If i fell", where in the stereo mix Paul makes a mistake and in mono he does not), or different tracks for the instruments, and the volume of each one is totally changed, just compare Sgt Peppers Mono vs Stereo and you will see. I like the mono version better, is more powerful.

@tmasonmi5 It's well-established that Eric Clapton played many of the leads once attributed to George Harrison. Harrison had a good sound but simply isn't in the same league as the other "guitar gods." And he knew it, to his credit.

@Talcupp
Sorry to burst you bubble, only While My Guitar Gently Weeps Clapton played on. As a serious and successful guitarist Clapton is not the greatest, his theory is adequate at best. In Cream he was great but fact of the matter time has shown Claptons limitations, blues scales is all he knows and those are really not on key when you are playing in major keys. Prime example Badge, great song, solo is in a minor key, song is in G. He is playing blue notes like F. Really off key!
tmasonmi5 1 year ago
@tmasonmi5
I thought he played on other Beatles tunes as well but I can't point to the exact citations right now. Maybe not. And I wasn't claiming Clapton was the greatest, by any means. He's a limited player. That Badge solo, though, is one of the all-time greats in a short rock song. No, not for technique, but for passion and effect. In any case, it's all subjective. Love what you love and skip the rest.

The mono is the one that the beatles created, and the stero was made after without the beatles present.

Some of the mono mixes have very different mixes than the stereo versions, featuring things that can't be heard on the stereo one. The ending of Sgt. Pepper reprise has Paul yelling something different than the stereo, and I've heard that She's Leaving Home is slower. Not sure about the rest of the album.

All the tracks sound better in mono, but did any one else notice the HUGE difference in Lucy in the Sky? I'm outraged that the stereo version was released in the first place. This is so much better. The Beatles actually helped do the mono mixes and left the stereo mixes for George Martin to do. I always though that St. Peppers sounded a bit empty, now I know why. My old stereo CD is a piece of shit.

@beaurain82, i've seen your comment on a number of posts now, and you really don't seem to know what you are talking about. ALL of the Beatles' music was recorded on analogue tapes and there are always new ways of improving their quality, the Beatles didn't use an 8 track until 'Hey Jude' in 1968; meaning Sgt. Pepper is in 'compressed' stereo on the bounced down tracks, whereas mono doesn't comprimise on sound quality. Vinyl is the best way to listen to them, but vinyl is high quite mainainance
SuperCameronb 1 year ago
music is meant to be listened to, portability is just a luxury that comes at a cost. Most people who listen to music today couldnt tell a bad recording from a good recording. For my money, nothing compares to the whole pepper era in mono and on vinyl, exactly the way the beatles intended it.

Wide stereo is a thing of the past in pop/rock music. In most cases it's hard to tell if a 2009 pop/rock recording is stereo since everything is centered in the mix. It's been that way for quite some time. The best recordings today are layered with tracks hard right/left, then gradually focused towards the center. However, the reason these mono masters are appreciated so much is the above. Go back to Smashing Pumpkins' "Mellon Collie.." album. There is no true seperation until the vocals.

I love the way this mono remaster sounds, but i think the stereo is just as good, even though different sounding. but this doesn't go for all the albums. for example, i think that A HARD DAY'S NIGHT sounds much better in stereo and so does BEATLES FOR SALE, inspite of the extreme paneling.

If I were a mixng engineer I'd mix some of today's artists in the same stereo layout as those of the 60s.
I'd flange Rihanna so that her voice would surround the listener, slightly ahead of time in one channel, a tad behind on the other. Listen to "Tomorrow never knows"(stereo) for what I mean.
Kanye? Pan him to one side and his rhythm track to the other. Bleed some echo from west into the center, along with echo from the rhythm track.
That's my taste in stereo, even if primitive!

While mono sounds better in some cases with the beatles because some of the stereo mixes are kinda terrible (which I thought they'd change with the remixes!!!). Yellow Submarine (the movie) is even more trippy in 5.1 especially its only a northern song!!

I have a question -- My old stereo receiver (from 1978) has a switchable option stereo/mono mode. So, if I'd buy the stereo remasters and select the mono mode in my receiver, would it be the same as buying the mono remasters? I've tried with stereo and it really works, but I don't know whether there's any difference, cause I've never heard the mono mixes. But in theory, there shouldn't have. What do you think?
marcelcruzeiro 2 years ago
im not sure but I doubt it. Since people have asked me about playing stereo mixes and changing the headphones to "mono" ad that definitely doesn't work.
Padfoot333 2 years ago
This definitely wouldn't work. The mono mixes are completely different from the stereo mixes. Even the tempos are different in some of them. According to their engineer, Geoff Emerick, much more time was spent on the mono mixes than the stereo ones since hardly anyone even had stereo technology in 1967. He claims the stereo ones were made more for novelty's sake....you should definitely get the mono versions
maccasback 2 years ago
yes, I'm aware of she's leaving home being sped up and everything. But apart from the overdubs and effects, in a general context, concentrating more in the frequencies, for example, if I would play stereo mixes in mono, why wouldn't they deliever the same "punch" like they claim mono has? I'm more into the idea of getting the mono, but I'd like to know what I'd be buying, out of listener's curiosity. I mean, what exactly would change - sonically speaking (low end, top end) - from one to another?
marcelcruzeiro 2 years ago
As far as the high end and low end goes there's probably not much difference. What I find interesting are the different choices they made in the two mixes: Different instruments are louder or quieter in the two mixes etc. I still love the stereo mix too, it's just that apparently much more effort was spent on the mono (at this point in their career) and that the people involved in the mixing process Geoff Emerick/George Martin) claim the mono mixes to be the definitive ones.

@marcelcruzeiro That would depend on how big of a Beatles fan you were. If you really like the Beatles' catalog, the mono remasters are definitely worth an investment, as the mixes, vocals, sound effects and/or musical backings are, in many instances, completely different takes. There are enough little differences to warrant the investment, if you can spare the money. They've repeatedly said they put the most effort int the mono mixes, as the were still the standard of that era. Food for thought
init4fun 1 year ago
@marcelcruzeiro To the casual listener, switching a stereo mix to mono with your mono switch will sound acceptable. The commercial mono mixes are carefully balanced, which are much better sounding. The early "wide stereo" mixes are better candidates for switching to mono with the switch, but still a serious listen to an actual mono mix will be more satisfying!
TheFRiNgEguitars 1 year ago
@marcelcruzeiro The stereo mixes are totally different than de mono mixes, sometimes they used even different vocal tracks (such as in "If i fell", where in the stereo mix Paul makes a mistake and in mono he does not), or different tracks for the instruments, and the volume of each one is totally changed, just compare Sgt Peppers Mono vs Stereo and you will see. I like the mono version better, is more powerful.
