The Beatles in Mono box set includes the first release of many of The Beatles original mono mixes on CD but it also actually is the first time some of these mixes have ever been released in any format (including vinyl!)
The White Album
When The Beatles self titled double album (AKA The White Album) was released in 1968 mono was being phased out and stereo was becoming the only way albums were being released.
As the US was further ahead in this transition than the UK this lead to a situation where in the US only the stereo mix of The White Album was released (previously both mono and stereo mixes were released) but in the UK both mixes were released.
What this means is that the mono mix of The White Album included in The Beatles in Mono box set is actually the first time that it's ever been released in the US in any Format.
Four of the unedited mix
There are also four songs included set (as part of Mono Masters double CD compilation), which had never been published anywhere in.
These four songs of the Beatles are four new songs included on the album Yellow Submarine 1969, the stereo has just been published. Since it was released only in stereo, the mono mixes of these four songs were stored untilnow.
The rest of the Yellow Submarine album (the George Martin instrumentals) was only mixed in stereo so the album as a whole is not included. Instead, these four songs were added to the Mono Masters non-album tracks compilation.
The previously unreleased Beatles songs are the mono mixes of these four songs: "It's All Too Much," "Hey Bulldog," "All Together Now," & "Only a Northern Song."
