Beatles/Original Reel Masters

Album “Let It Be” “Original Reel Masters” A complete recording of the precious open-reel sound source, the ultimate analog master, in two versions: US original stereo and UK original monaural! “Let It Be” was released in May 1970 as the Beatles’ final album. At that time, the transition from monaural, which was mainstream in the 1960s, to stereo progressed, and the Beatles’ records “Abbey Road” and “Let It Be” were not released in monaural, but only in stereo. Under these circumstances, reel-to-reel tapes (reel-to-reel tapes in Japan), which are not records, are also being sold in various countries, and in the UK, monaural tapes are being sold at the same time as stereo tapes. At that time, vinyl records were the mainstream, and even now, reel tapes, which have no playback equipment except for some audiophiles, are not widely distributed and due to their rarity, they are sold at high prices at auctions as rare items. Direct transfer of reel tapes On CD. Contains both American AMPEX stereo sound source and British EMI monaural sound source. Although it has now been officially remastered and made into a CD, you can enjoy the straight sound texture unique to the original analog sound source at the time. The British monaural sound source, which is said to have no mix difference just by folding down the stereo, is valuable as an official tape sound source that is not made from a vinyl record, and is also attracting attention as a collector’s item because the songs are recorded in a different order than usual. This time, the original tape sound source has been newly digitized and recorded in the highest quality at the moment with restoration work that only removes hiss noise.
