This boxed set comprises all of The Beatles' EP's as they were originally issued on 45rpm vinyl in England. Each 4 song CD-5 has been digitally remastered from original sources. The set comes with a 32-page Magical Mystery Tour book. All selections are mono except the stereo "Magical Mystery Tour" EP.
The Beatles' impact on popular music is inestimable. They changed the face of rock & roll, introducing new concepts and techniques again and again throughout their career, influencing both their contemporaries and the next several generations of rock & roll. In the early '60s, when the golden age of Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis had given way to prefabricated teen idols and bland, diluted versions of real rock & roll and R&B, the Beatles' brash, effervescent blend of '50s vintage sounds and bold, electric pop saved the world.
Not content with reviving rock & roll almost single-handedly, the Beatles continued to innovate. Borrowing a bit from John Lennon's hero Bob Dylan, they pioneered the progression from generic love songs to more personalized, introspective subject matter. Let loose in the studio, they were among the first in the pop world to use backwards tapes, feedback and exotic instrumentation (George Harrison's well-documented love affair with Indian music inspired a thousand sitar-infested pop tunes). Lennon & McCartney (and occasionally Harrison) were phenomenally gifted tunesmiths who merged a pre-rock harmonic vocabulary with R&B influences and a visionary streak to create a timeless body of work.
The Beatles: John Lennon (vocals, guitar); Paul McCartney (vocals, bass); George Harrison (guitar); Ringo Starr (drums). Beatles Compact Disc Music Average Rating: (3.3 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Fantastic!
This is a fabulous box set. In particularly Magical Mystery tour - with the full colour booklet, just like the original.
As for " A Very SHORT Disappointment" - in regard to EP - I think you've forgotten what EP actually meant. A single was just that - a single song on each side. An EP, meaning extended play, did not, as you suggest, mean extended play of a song. Rather, it meant extended playing time of the record. And thus - 2 or more songs to each side, rather than just a single.

Great muisc - interesting collection.
For knocked-out fans, a collection of EPs is a view into the past of 40 years ago. You can get all of these cuts on more practical selections.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Real mono?
Are these true mono mixes or stereo mixes just re-channeled? I need to a-b it. This came out in the late 80's as I recall. I love the box but I want to be sure about the mixes. I'd love to buy the mono remastered box but that's a bit of cash. I would love to hear the mono Sgt. Pepper. She Loves You had a fake stereo version made because all that was left was the original mono master. I love finding the little differences in recordings like the bit before "yellow matter custard" or the french horn bit at the end of Penny Lane. Beatles nerd!
