Another fun Beatles fact
Geoff Emerick confirmed my suspicions that the Beatles can only be heard properly in mono. The stereo versions suck (because of the technology of the time), and the Beatles weren’t there to supervise. They only heard the mono versions. Ironically, the mono versions are not available on CD. Cheap Trick gave me the mono version of Sgt. Pepper’s to study when I first met them and I heard the album in a totally different way. Worth seeking out. Abbey road is ok in stereo, according to Geoff.
Speaking of Cheap Trick, thanks to all the fans who have stopped by the site and dropped me some nice emails — I’m as proud of them as you are! Cheap Trick ROCKS!!!
