The early stereo mixes in my opinion were badly panned. The White Album sounds bearable in Stereo . Although Abbey Road and Let it Be can be considered as the same calibre as today's stereo mixes nowadays (in terms of mixing and not music)

This is my opinion as well. Not only do I prefer the mono mixes of all of the albums, but I prefer Sgt. Pepper and the White Album in mono.

I've always been of the opinion that, regardless what they say, SPLHCB was the first sign that they were looking ahead to the possibilities offered by stereophonic sound - specifically, the full-spectrum panning of the "infamous" section of "A Day In The Life" and of the animals in"Good Morning Good Morning".

I love the stereo Pepper. Prefer it to the mono. The trouble with claiming it as the first album where their attention was on the stereo mix, rather than the mono, is that they were not there for the stereo mix sessions. Paul left the country the day ...]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2013 20:42:12 +0000 Egroeg Evoli on What is the first true stereo album? http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/what-is-the-first-true-stereo-album/#p65714 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/what-is-the-first-true-stereo-album/#p65714 a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 Oh, that's a good point, too.

Mono about a minute shorter and no blisters on fingers!

We all know there are differences. I do not understand those who say they only went stereo in 1969 though. If I had to name the first true stereo Beatles, as they intended it to be heard, it would have to be The White Album. Much as I love the mono, it was largely rough mono mixes made as they went along. The twenty-four hour session at the end of the recordings was used on perfecting the stereo mix. When you go through the ...]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2013 02:52:11 +0000
