This title has LONG been on my wish list of LPs to transfer. This is the actual mono issue of an album that was never officially mixed for mono. That means it is a straight Mono Type-B fold-in. In fact, according to several of the more well-versed Beatle people out there, the master for this mono LP was actually created by simply collapsing the American stereo master into mono. According to the experts (of which I do NOT include myself) there was no reverb or anything added - just a straight fold.
(FYI - The last three titles of the original AMERICAN Beatles LP catalogue - Abbey Road, Let It Be and Hey Jude - were released in Brazil in Type-B mono).
I have to thank one specific individual who supplied me with two pressings of this LP. (He knows who he is). Ironically, I wound up NOT using any of them because they were simply too noisy. He went through a LOT of trouble tracking these down for me. I thank him profusely. Obviously, the fact that I couldn't use his LPs is not HIS fault - but it did motivate me to find a gorgeous copy for transfer. I went ahead and sold one of my kids for the opportunity to simply BORROW a near mint pressing of this LP from a friend who owes me a few favors. It really sounds punchy and clean. Please note that this mono version of Abbey Road plays back a touch slower than all other versions I've ever heard. It's uniform on all THREE copies I had the privelage to work with.
The artwork matches the original Brazilian LP.
