Monophonic, listen to how the music of the Beatles once sounded

posted by John Lampard on Friday, 13 November, 2009 to the music subset

The music of the Beatles has once again been remastered, this time in monophonic sound, which was the way the band’s music was originally recorded – and listened to – in the 1960s.

During the 60s, the Beatles were not interested in stereo sound. They recorded each song on two tracks that were merged by their producer George Martin to be playable in monophonic sound, the standard of the day. Fans listened to the songs on mono record players and radio stations, which were almost all on the AM band at the time.
