Episode: RBC/Connections: Five Beatles Remasters in Mono, Part 1 Sept 2009
A 23 minute segment by Eric Cocks of Connections on WPKN: Five Beatles songs in glorious mono mixes, newly remastered. Amazing sound, depth, clarity and punch. The bass comes through with a presence never before heard in the cd era. The vocals have a more distinctive blend and you can pick out each part. The guitars and drums are right in the pocket, heard more clearly than in the stereo mixes. Even the handclaps stand out. The strings have amazing definition and presence. This is the way The Beatles and George Martin meant this music to be heard when they recorded it. Stereo was an afterthought. This is the real deal... Enjoy!
