The Beatles Mono Collection (1982)
Mono Collection is a box set of each of the reissued mono vinyl LPs (not including Magical Mystery Tour, Abbey Road, or Let It Be – the latter two having never been mixed for mono). The albums were also sold individually. The UK edition was issued in a red box, while the US import edition was issued in a limited edition (1000) black box. The same mono reissues were released in Japan on red vinyl, but were not collected in a box set there until 1986 without the obis.
Stereo pressing and label errors
There were a number of errors in the pressings of these discs:
- Some copies of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band side B are in stereo and are indicated as such in the dead wax (XEX = mono, YEX = stereo)
- Some copies of The Beatles (“The White Album”) use stereo labels (particularly on disc 2, both sides), but are actually mono pressings (XEX = mono, YEX = sterero)
- Some copies of Yellow Submarine use stereo labels on both sides but are actually mono pressings (XEX = mono, YEX = stereo)
