RL in the cut out groove?

Gee whiz, I really don’t know. I’m back in Oklahoma and the album is at my home in
Kansas City. I would assume it is, I have that album longer then I can remember and
purchase it brand new when they first came out like all of my classic rock albums.

Here’s another one I took a picture of while I was home, The Stones, Some Girls with
the Original album art.

How do the Mono pressings sound?

They're everything Fremer says they are, so far. I'm playing them in order and "Beatles for Sale" is as far as I've gotten. They're flat and quiet and free from that obnoxious simulated stereo mix. I'm glad I didn't buy the Stereo Box.

Thanks Doc. I am looking forward to getting home and listening to them this weekend.

I have a 2nd pressing UK Revolver mono and I want to compare the 2 this weekend. I also have an 80's Japanese mono but I'm not sure which one it. I'll compare that one as well.

I have to agree with Devil Doc, these are amazing, even with a stereo cartridge. I have collected Beatles albums since I bought their first album in 1963. Sadly I was living in Belgium at the time and got a German pressing as opposed to a British one, even more sadly, my father had a "stereo" system (amp, pre-amp, Garrard turntable with a stereo cartridge, but only one voice of the theatre speaker, so I was listening to stereo in mono), I was really shocked when I first heard the Beatles in stereo on a real stereo system and heard the stereo seperation. I could have had a full set of original Mono's had I known.
These are definitive versions of these albums, and I am tempted to buy some of the individual ones and not open them--they will be worth a great deal of money very soon.

Like Doc, I am savoring these and have played only up to Rubber Soul, and am now starting to go back and play them again just to truly appreciate what I have.

Did I mention, that I also got my free T-shirt today

I think I'll frame it and hang it in the music room. Besides, XL was the largest size. It might be a might small for my masculine physique.
