The reason why many of The Beatles <span class=\"posthilit\">mono<\/span> mixes are different to the <span class=\"posthilit\">stereo<\/span> is because not enough care went into the <span class=\"posthilit\">stereo<\/span> mixes. The same is true for Motown. <span class=\"posthilit\">Mono<\/span> ruled radio back in the sixties so you are listening to the hit mixes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From the top of my head, and very quickly, I remember that &#8220;You Don&#8217;t Have To Say You Love Me&#8221; has some reverb added to the voice and its mix is a bit different. Same for &#8220;The Next Step Is Love&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure, but I think &#8220;Kentucky Rain&#8221; is also different since it wasn&#8217;t even released in <span class=\"posthilit\">stereo<\/span> until 1985 or so.<\/p>\n<p>As for the post &#8217;71 tracks, you won&#8217;t find much difference since they are fold downs, that is: the <span class=\"posthilit\">stereo<\/span> version collapsed to <span class=\"posthilit\">mono<\/span>, with the only difference being the balance of channels and\/or some compression added and\/or some tweaking to its EQ. &#8220;Burning Love&#8221;, for instance, sounds a bit different, with pronounced bass, for that reason. I&#8217;m under the impression that this procedure is also true for some 60&#8217;s tracks that were released in <span class=\"posthilit\">stereo<\/span> on LPs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ust had a chance to listen to Disc 5 of the box. These songs struck me as sounding very nice:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Seperate Ways<br \/>\n&#8211; Raised On Rock (clearer drums and mix to my ears then on some other releases of the Master of this song)<br \/>\n&#8211; For Ol&#8217; Times Sake<br \/>\n&#8211; Promised Land<br \/>\n&#8211; T-R-O-U-B-L-E<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Edge Of Reality&#8221;, &#8220;Puppet On A String&#8221;, &#8220;Blue River&#8221; are standouts!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An Elvis ad-lib is lower in the single <span class=\"posthilit\">MONO<\/span> mix of &#8220;The Wonder of You.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s some kick-ass xylo\/vibra-phone on &#8220;Heart of Rome&#8221; hardly evident on either of the <span class=\"posthilit\">stereo<\/span> mixes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;ve listened to a lot of tracks on discs 3, 4, and 5 so far. Some of the singles sound a lot better in <span class=\"posthilit\">mono<\/span>, like There Goes My Everything and Raised on Rock, and a few songs sound almost completely different, such as Heart of Rome and Edge of Reality.<\/p>\n<p>So far all of the tracks taken from the master tapes sound superb, but a handful of them taken from the acetates are not mastered too well, such as Bosom of Abraham and An American Trilogy; but overall, the acetate songs sound quite good.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mama Liked The Roses I&#8217;m Yours Long Lonely Highway In many ways mono is about compression, punchiness, balance differences and eq compared to the stereo mixes.
