THE BEATLES - STEREO AND MONO BOX SETS [2009]
+ EXTRAS [v0 VBR][MP3]
These Beatles albums were encoded to mp3 from lossless
FLAC sources (CD rips) using the quality setting - v0 VBR "extreme" and joint stereo for all tracks. Joint stereo is quite an effective way of compressing mono recordings as well as stereo recordings.
Also included are the mini documentaries of the stereo boxset (2009) as DVDRips (mkv files).
I kept the original ID tags of the source files. Album names, track names and track numbers are correct, although every track has the composer tag "The Beatles" in the stereo and mono boxsets. It'a vague blanket statement, and not factually true for some tracks in the earlier albums; there are several cover songs in them.
The scans are also included. I resized them to 1080p and used a bit lower jpg quality setting. The originals were sometimes as big in size as the actual album in mp3 format.
For what it's worth, The Beatles themselves thought
the mono versions were the definitive ones. They were actively involved in the mixing process of them, and the stereo mixes were put together much quicker by George Martin and his assistants without input from the band. IMO, the way some instruments/tracks are sometimes almost completely in one channel in those early stereo records can be a bit
distracting, especially when using headphones.
