Sticksboi05 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 So all the purists say listen The Beatles in mono because that's how they were originally recorded and those recordings were better taken care of. “You’ve never really heard Sgt. Pepper until you’ve heard it in mono.” - George Martin In 2002 Paul McCartney told Goldmine magazine, “We made ‘em in mono so I’m always happy to listen to ‘em in mono.” Which do you prefer to listen in and have you listened to both versions of the songs? For the record, I prefer the stereo mixes of most of the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Nostril Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I can't speak for the entirety of the Beatles catalog, and I didn't listen with good headphones, but I liked the stereo version of "a little help from y friends" better. The interplay between the guitar and bass was so much clearer, which is something I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
