There are thousands of reasons you should buy The Beatles In Mono (assuming, of course, that you enjoy their music anywhere near as much as I do.) This article focuses on just seven of those many reasons.
(1) You cannot buy the the mono Beatles CDs by themselves. For example if you want to buy the mono mix of Sgt. Pepper, you will need to buy the entire Beatles in Mono Box Set. This is different from the Beatles in Stereo Box Set because the remastered stereo CDs contained in that set are also the official Beatles CDs now and can be bought on their own too.
(2) Many of the mono mixes sound significantly different from their stereo mixes. In some cases the differences are much more than just the panning, in some cases like with "She's Leaving Home" the mono mix is almost like a different song. "She's Leaving Home" is sped up in mono.
(3) If you are one of the many people who really hates the wide panning of many of The Beatles stereo mixes (where vocals and drums are panned hard left or hard right) you will probably find the mono mixes to be quite a relief.
(4) There are only a limited number of The Beatles in Mono Box Sets being made. There is no official statement on how many copies will be made. They are likely to become a collectors item in the future.
(5) These are the mixes that most Beatles fans heard back in the 1960s. If you really want to hear their music as The Beatles originally intended it be heard and how it was heard by most people at the time then you need this mono box set.
(6) The packaging is awesome. Each CD comes in a replica of the original vinyl release.
(7) The Beatles in Mono Box Set comes with an exclusive essay by Kevin Howlett which includes a lot of interesting information on the mono mixes.
