Beatles mono VINYL box set (Part #13)

I do I have a rubber matt, so vertical tracking is how low the needle goes etc ?

 

I think so. It makes perfect sense. I raised this subject 2 years ago, but some people here would not agree with me. Now the truth is revealed, at least for me it is 100% clear.

 

What Jim B. said above. Or on the contrary if you are "tail up", just add some more mat(s). You may also adjust the mounting height of your cartridge. All so that your tonearm (or bottom of cartridge) is +/- parallel to the record surface. A matter of taste for the sound also. But as a general rule, parallel is better.

 

They're also on 1967-'70.

 

When I read something like this "It would be possible, but they would not sound the same as the eq choices and repairs that were done would not be possible to do in realtime", I realize I know absolutely nothing about what goes in the making of a vinyl record.
Could someone point me to a simple but thorough description of the process ?

 

Sean Magee: you did great job but "vinyls"?

 

This is more modern

He's trying to be up with it for the hipsters.

 

Making the CDs sound like the old vinyl (means equalized for cheapo record players in the 60s -> no top, no bass) was the wrong decision.
Thank god, they fixed it with the new vinyl ...

 

Sort of... I wish I had a link for this but can't find it...

Look up (google) "turntable set-up" "VTA" etc. You will certainly find tons of stuff on the subject. Probably even some nice Youtubes where they show you all you need to know about this.

 

How can you deduce that from Magees quote?

 

WRONG ANSWER! ;-) IDWTSTP, in what might be the only case in the Beatles' canon, features Paul singing the lower register in the harmony to John's upper. It's not John double-tracked. Listen closely and you could tell it's Paul.

 

It does look cool. How does it sound to you?

 

So you really DON'T know who sings what. John does the highest parts in both early songs, ie "I can do" and "Hand", Paul does the lower vocal in I Don't Want to Spoil the Party. But don't worry, I suggest it may be helpful to you to listen more closely. The Ah's in A Day in The Life are indeed Paul, which surprised me when I discovered it, too.

 

Correct (but also true of Day Tripper- Paul starts then goes low under John).

 

He can call them anything he wants-platters, wax, vinyls. As long as he doesn't call me late to listen to these!

 

Plus, you get the 45 mix of Let It Be as a bonus! But doesn't that album (along with the Hey Jude lp for that matter) fade the final drumbeat of The Ballad Of J & Y till it's barely audible?

 

The Mono Masters was the only LP in mine which was shrink wrapped and had no Love insert like the other records. Has that been the experience of others? I am up to The Beatles listening and all have been great, any warping has been very minor. Very quiet pressings.

 

I told you, I did not pay attention to it on purpose like you did. I agree it is Paul. So what? It is written on the cover anyway, the main vocal is upper, it is John for sure... What is the trick of yours?

 

So he does... so he does! Forgive me - I'm at work and going from memory (which is almost full).

 

I'm sure it's been done but how do the mono songs on the 2014 U. S. CD Box compare to the 2009 mono CDs?

 

Clean living, a good diet and regular exercise.

 

Interesting - I already own a Blue Box.....

 

Yes.
