The Beatles 1964 US Albums In Mono Box Opening

I didn't bother with lighting or makeup so I could scoop the bitter trolls! lol

The box set arrived about an hour ago and I got right on it and shot this box opening video. Honestly, more interesting is the second embedded video with Kevin Reeves and Pat Kraus showing the tapes and the cutting process along with some of the ideas that went into the new cuts. The tape box notes show that bass was seriously cut for the original records as was some top end splashy cymbal stuff.

What wasn't clear from the video is what they did for these new cuts. Did they restore the bass that's on the tape or try to reproduce the original sound? I hope they give us what's on the tape in those respects but otherwise tried to reproduce the original "vibe."

I'm going to find out right now and report back in the next post!
