Great video. I am slowly building my ´best I can get´ Beatles studio vinyl albums collection. I have ´Rubber Soul´ and ´Magiical Mystery Tour´ early UK pressings but now I can see the 2022 Mono of Revolver is calling out to me. A new pressing that is a great version makes it an auto buy for me. Excellent!

Another gem of a video my man! I have an original UK stereo, the MFSL, U.S. Capitol originals as well as a reissue.

So i’m not the only one… i’ve got 24 different pressings of Revolver and from different countries.😁

Good video, I only got my original UK mono copy last month. It is in excellent condition which is difficult to get for the 606-1 matrix. Looking forward to doing a similar comparison.

I recently did comparison of different pressings of Abbey Road and Dark Side of The Moon because I got the Pro-Use editions of both. I was very surprised by the differences in the sound quality.

In both cases the original Japanese pressings were the best sounding records for me. I did not like the Pro-Use at all.

I was also very impressed with my 70's Irish pressing of Abbey Road, very similar to the Japanese original. Must get the UK originals.

I stopped by looking for discussion about whether the 2022 mono has been subjected to Giles Martin's much-vaunted new forensic enhancement software, like the stereo master tapes...

i prefer the stereo mix for revolver, rubber soul and the white album. it makes the instruments and vocals clearer imo... i have mofi copies of both which i prefered over the uk stereo 1st pressings. many people say the 80s mofis have a happy face EQ but i think they sound great.

Do i need to switch my needle for the 2014 mono record? I have an ortofon OM10.

I find chats and discussion about music more interesting than technical audiophile stuff by the way I think more people can engage cus not everyone has super sonic hearing or cares that much haha

I know that there is a "school of mono." I wonder if by this time in 1966 the Beatles had fully embraced stereo and worked hard on the soundscapes you can create with stereo. I suspect that they never did a mono mix of this album themselves. Perhaps a Beatles expert can comment.

The 1st mono UK or the 1981 mono UK using the original metal are the way to go for me. None of the reissues compare for me.
