Description
This is the ultimate original analog master sound source engraved on the record! Complete reproduction of the four types of analog sound sources, high-resolution HQ, the highest sound quality, including the British mono “loud cut” / German stereo remaster / Canadian narrow stereo / US mobile stereo! ! The Beatles records in the 1960s were produced in various countries around the world and were released in various forms different from the British original, from the mastering and cutting of the sound source to the jacket design of each country. Even after that, in the analog era before digitalization by CD, there were many variations in the re-releases around the world. Among them, the album version, which is particularly attracting attention as the ultimate item that enthusiasts drool over, is the best sound source compilation that is completely recorded in stereo / mono with outstanding freshness by direct transfer from each analog record master, and it is a premium sound source collection with a CD containing the ultimate analog sound source and an audio DVD containing four sound sources including high-quality high-resolution sound source. This collection is the second album “With the Beatles”, which reached number one in the UK following the debut album “Please Please Me”. This album also has a wide variety of sound sources, and now collectors around the world are sharing and verifying information, which is attracting attention. The first half of this CD contains the “loud cut” mono sound source of the original British first pressing. This “loud cut” was released in November 1963 and was distributed in very small quantities, and the matrix number on the disc is marked “-1N”. It was literally engraved with dynamic sound pressure, and since the second pressing, it has been changed to a calmer cutting because it caused needle skipping on cheap record players at the time. When compared to the regular version, the difference is clear, and the sound is truly impressive with a powerful sound that jumps out to the front, with the vividness of the vocals, the guitar with a prominent presence, the thick and tight bass, and the clear and tremendous power of the drums, all of which are unique to the “loud cut”. Like the highly acclaimed “Please Please Me” Gold Parlophone, this album has the superb sound quality of the original first pressing. The second half includes the stereo sound source of the German Odeon first pressing. Some albums are well-known for their high quality sound and high production quality due to their unique remastering, but this “With the Beatles” album has a stereo loud cut sound, which emphasizes the balance of the instruments over the vocals, making it a flashy sound compared to the British pressing. The “German remaster” sound source includes “All My Loving” with a hi-hat count that was not heard on the British pressing at the time. The DVD includes four types of sound sources, including high-quality high-resolution sound sources, in audio DVD format as “High Resolution & HQ Audio Selection,” allowing you to compare the differences in the sound sources. Audio 1 includes the “loud cut” mono sound source of the original British first pressing. You can listen to the sound of analog records in a high-quality high-resolution format (96 khz/24 bit) that reproduces the texture of records with specifications higher than CD. Audio 2 contains the stereo sound source of the first German Odeon release. This is also an HQ (high quality 48 khz) sound source with specifications higher than CD. Audio 3 contains the “narrow stereo mix” of the 1978 reissue of “Beatlemania!” (same content as “With the Beatles”) edited by Canada Capitol. The same Canada Capitol release also has a wide stereo mix that is said to have a separation between the vocals and the performance, just like the British release, but this “narrow stereo mix” has been changed to a mix that is closer to the left and right center, making it a rare mix that can only be heard here. In addition, audio 4 contains the stereo sound source from the Mobile Fidelity (MFSL) release released in the United States in 1982. Compared to the many regular editions from each country, it is considered to be the highest quality analog master as an audio reference with a clearer and better balance. The mobile edition is popular because it is a limited edition record pressing of the stereo sound source from the original master with high sound quality, but in recent years, it has become a premium item with a higher price due to the topic that the stamper for this “With the Beatles” was damaged and it can never be pressed again. The DVD video plays each record jacket and label photo in slide show format, and you can compare each sound source with the audio option. This is the “With the Beatles” special edition, which reproduces the four precious record sources that have now become super expensive treasure premium items!
