Been listening to The Beatles ...

I've been going through the whole catalogue -- both stereo and mono mixes -- and I've found myself actually enjoying these records even more than I thought I would. Even "Beatles for Sale" -- no one's favorite by the Fab Four -- isn't half bad. And the great records are sounding better than ever. Sure, many of us believe that these guys were the best rock band ever, but listening to 'em again and finding that to be true has been proving to be lots of fun. (And I haven't even played the Past Masters discs yet!)

I think the first two mono's "please please me" and "with the Beatles" sound great. "hard days night","Beatles for sale",not as good.
"Help",verygood. "rubbersoul", "revolver",great. "pepper", fabulous. "White album",some great,some not. "magical mystery tour", "past master" great. Overall great.

Yeah, my assessment is not far off from Wildoat's.

One thing for sure, it's been fun listening to these again. I have the mono set and most of the stereo versions.

I am getting more pleasure out of listening on headphones. They sound amazing on neutral cans like Sony's 7506s.
