The Beatles In Mono 2014 Vinyl box set DELUXE. 
Thanks for looking, this sale is for the now deleted vinyl 11 LP edition of "The Beatles In Mono" box set. 
Released in 2014 this was the follow up to the CD collection of the same name released in 2009. Unlike the companion stereo box of vinyl albums released in 2009 for this mono set the engineers at Abbey Road went back to the original mono master tapes to create this all analogue treat. The mono mixes were always the prime focus when putting together a new Beatles record so this was the way The Beatles were meant to sound. In fact the only mixing sessions The Beatles themselves attended and contributed to was the mono mix for their 1967 masterwork "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
The Beatles In Mono (2014 original release) This is the full 2014 collection in near mint condition, I have played each record once (apart from "Mono Masters" which has never been played) to play test and digitise them, the sound is factory fresh with no jumps or scratches and the vinyl is quiet with no crackles and at worst the most subtle occasional pop as you would expect. They were played on my cherished and well maintained 1978 Trio K-1033 record deck which I fitted with a brand new Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge with Nude Eliptical Stylus especially for the occasion. 
All 11 albums comprising 14 x12" 33 1/3 RPM mono discs plus the wonderful book are all here, in the main presented with classic reproductions of the Parlophone yellow and black labels:
* Please Please Me (with original Parlophone black and gold label) * With The Beatles * A Hard Day's Night * Beatles For Sale * Help! * Rubber Soul * Revolver * Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (complete with the Fool inner sleeve & cut outs) * Magical Mystery Tour (presented on its original US Capital Records label and with the book of course) * The Beatles (for me their greatest work, a double album on the Apple label complete with black inner sleeves, poster and the four portraits of The Beatles, numbered 9000971) * Mono Masters (the triple album put together featuring all the non-album released mono mixes)
The only thing that Apple didn't give us was "Yellow Submarine", their last album to get a mono release, this on the basis that it wasn't a dedicated mono mix and was merely a fold down of the stereo mix. However the previous 1982 mono box set did include it and, unusually, so does this set (see below). Each album has its original slip card inside and all albums are presented in their re-sealable outer bags. This is complete, plus ...
The Beatles In Mono (DELUXE) I'm calling this "deluxe" but I guess "enhanced" would be a more accurate description. As well as the book and the 11 albums I'm also including the following free of charge for the winner:
* A free copy of the 1982 mono pressing of the "Yellow Submarine" vinyl LP (albeit a very crackly copy) * A brand new 32GB USB pendrive which includes digitisations of your copies of the records * Hi Res FLAC copies at 24bit 96 kHz * 320 kb/s MP3 copies * I used my own perfect copy to digitise the unplayed "Mono Masters" * Vinyl Masters anti-static inner sleeves (as well as the original issue ones) * Plus three more Vinyl Masters inners for when you crack open "Mono Masters"
Condition * As previously stated each album has near mint condition audio except for your free "Yellow Submarine" * The slipcase is in good condition but has a small tear at the bottom right and a scratch on the front (see last picture) * The main box is near mint and in full working order * Each album cover is in near mint condition except "Help!", see below * All slip cards are near mint (as new) * All extras such as Sgt Pepper cutouts and White Album inserts and poster are near mint (note I don't ever say "mint" as to me if the box is not factory sealed then it ain't mint) * All inner sleeves are perfect * While play testing the records sadly "Help!" suffered a minor accident when it's outer sleeve fell on the floor onto its spine and put two small creases in the front which I was very disappointed with myself for (see last picture) * The resealable outer bag for "Magical Mystery Tour" suffered a tear while opening it so I've replaced it with a brand new one - be careful with these when opening
