Thanks Tented. I agree with their first 3 albums Please, Please Me, With the Beatles (also known as Meet the Beatles), Beatles for Sale, they're a lot better sounding as mono. The two-track mix, with their vocals panned on one side and music on the other, to me was very poor mix/layout.

Also it is very rare to find (and post) their mid-1960's albums like 'Rubber Soul' and 'Revolver' in mono. Those albums would be considered collectors item.

Not sure but i think THE WHITE ALBUM was the final album released both in mono and stereo.

For the rest of the world it was called "With The Beatles" but i'm happy to find (and add here) the U.S. Capitol album "Meet the Beatles". For reasons best known to Capitol, they altered the original tracks with a differing track-listing. Good article here on wiki : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meet_the_Beatles!

All I've Got To Do - 02:26

The Beatles at one time had a fairly fictitious cartoon series for two, maybe three years in the mid - 1960's , but without their involvement (apart from use of their songs). Today these are extremely rare and hard to find. Even when they're put online they usually have the audio partial muted owing to music copyright.

At long last ! Just announced :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Let It Be – Special Edition (Super Deluxe) - The Beatles


Release Date 15 October 2021
Format
5CD + Blu-Ray
Label - Apple / EMI

The long awaited deluxe follow up to the Abbey Road album has just been announced and will no doubt be very successful like the previous three in the anniversary series.

The ‘Let It Be’ album has been newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell in stereo, 5.1 surround DTS, and Dolby Atmos. All the new ‘Let It Be’ releases feature the new stereo mix of the album as guided by the original “reproduced for disc” version by Phil Spector and sourced directly from the original session and rooftop performance eight-track tapes. The Super Deluxe collections also feature 27 previously unreleased session recordings, a four-track ‘Let It Be’ EP, and the never before released 14-track ‘Get Back’ stereo LP mix compiled by engineer Glyn Johns in May 1969.

Additionally, the Super Deluxe editions feature a 100 page hard-back book with an introduction by Paul McCartney, extensive notes and track-by-track recording information and many previously unseen photos, personal notes, tape box images and more.

The Beatles iconic final studio album being released to coincide with the worldwide release of Peter Jackson’s 3 part documentary ‘The Beatles: Get Back’.

Awesome audio remastering even on this one minute vid.

Especially liked the glimpses of "One After 909", "I Me Mine" and "Across the Universe" .

Date was January 30th, 1969 — the Beatles along with musician Billy Preston, climbed five stories to the top of their Apple Corps headquarters and played their last concert together, unannounced.
