About this deal

The safe choice is EU box. On the red side of the box there is barcode only. The CDs in the box are in modern ‘super jewel’ cases. Apparently, these were not faked. If you’re wondering why The Rolling Stones in Mono box set was sourced from the original analog tapes transferred to DSD (single bit, 2.8224 MHz sampling rate digital) and not produced like The Beatles mono box¬—put up the tapes, cut lacquers all-analog— you’ve probably not carefully considered the differences between the two catalogs.

There’s really no comparison that favors the originals, unless you are hopelessly nostalgic. When people used to describe these recordings—particularly the early ones—as “dirty”, they were describing more how they were mastered than how they actually sound. When original Beatles or Stones albums were released over the better part of a decade, you can be sure the mastering chains used changed over time. These changes affected the final sound of the records—for better or worse—yet in reissuing a decade’s worth of records in a single box and mastering all of them using the same chain, you run into a “uniformity” issue.

Statistics

The American Beatles release story is more complex, with Vee-Jay handling the first record called Introducing The Beatles (plus singles on Tollie and Swan) and then Capitol taking over starting with Meet The Beatles and eventually gaining control of the Vee-Jay material, which it later released as The Early Beatles. This would really need to be done after the phono stage amplifier (The signal before the phono stage from the turntable is too weak to put anything in the way). Nonetheless, almost everything was recorded in one studio by but a few engineers and all of the tapes were stored in Abbey Road’s lower level vault where they remain to this day. pale/incorrect colors of the sleeves. Poorly glued sleeves. It is to be pointed out that the official US version came with rather sloppy sleeves.

Once the files had been mastered they were sent (probably over the Internet) to Abbey Road Studios where Sean Magee and Alex Wharton cut lacquers from the DSD files. As best as I can determine, at no time were the DSD files converted to PCM or in any way decimated.

The other thing is, you don't say what about the new one you prefer. I can see one or another thing about the new one appealing to certain listeners. Please tell us what about the new one you prefer? Mastered in Direct Stream Digital (DSD) from the original mono master recordings by acclaimed Grammy award-winning mastering engineer Bob Ludwig.

At least two fake versions were on the market. One was reporter by our own theo1954. It is numbered as ? 000003. Another fake was reported by Jessa on the other resource with box number ? 001962. The other one was discussed by Beave on Steve Hoffman’s music forum (no information about the number of the box).I'm sorry if I offended you in what I said about computer speakers. The fact remains the same however, the best computer speaker setups although good generally don't and can't sound as good as a good two channel setup. The Monsoon speaker setup is no exception even though they are a good setup. They just don't have the quality amplification needed to produce the proper dynamics needed. Not to mention that in most cases (yours may be different) you just can't set them up properly in the room for proper acoustics. Now that's not to say they won't sound decent and can't, because they can, but they just won't be in the same class as say a pre amp, amp and speakers setup perfectly in a room that is acoustically treated which is the way my system is setup. Weird font for mould ifpi code (no code reported but the ifpi style on low quality images pointed to ‘Chinese ifpi B404’ type). A decent sound card and good speakers designed for near field listening CAN convey good sound. My speakers, designed by the guy behind Eminent Technologies, are pretty good at relative accuracy. It's a shame they are not being made anymore. Unlike The Beatles’ relationship with EMI, UK Decca Records did not “own” The Rolling Stones. Instead, Andrew Loog Oldham, having learned the independent game from his mentor Phil Spector, licensed to Decca the Rolling Stones’ recordings, while maintaining control over the content, the production and probably the cover artwork as well (though I don’t claim to know the precise relationship between Decca UK and it’s London American subsidiary).

Next in the U.K., released in 1965, came The Rolling Stones No. 2 another dark cover—the same one used in American on 12X5. This one was recorded at Chess, RCA Hollywood and Regent in the U.K and like the debut album it’s mostly covers including Allen Touissaint’s “Pain in My Heart”, but it has three originals “What A Shame”, “Grown Up Wrong” (was on 12X5) and the sardonic “Off the Hook”. The version of “Time Is On My Side” here has a guitar intro, the one on 12x5 has an organ intro.

To complicate matters, because you are also looking at UK and USA versions of the same album, then one of them may have the first generation masters while the other will certainly not. For Out of Our Heads, for example, the first generation masters were largely present on the US version: the US version did appear before the UK version. Hence, the UK master had lower generation copies on its LP.” Photography By – David Bailey (5), Gered Mankowitz, Guy Webster, Jerrold Schatzberg*, Michael Cooper (8), Nicholas Wright (2) The Stones were recording their albums at Regent Sound in England, Chess in the USA and then RCA in Hollywood, “So you had different rooms, different echo chambers, different engineers and so on. There’s going to be a difference in the sound. The person who had the task to cut the album, in the end, may have felt that the tapes had so many differences between them that they wanted to do EQ changes to give the listener a soother transition from song to song. Once the EQ was completed, the engineer would print the results on another tape.” Because the Stones were recording on both sides of the Atlantic, things get complicated. Hence, some sources I had had to be second generation masters because they were the best masters available.
