REVOLVER UK STEREO GOLDEN LABEL TUBE CUT THE BEATLES MINI LP






1962-1966 UK RED VINYL YEX.905 MINI LP






REVOLVER UK STEREO GOLDEN LABEL TUBE CUT THE BEATLES 1962-1966 UK RED VINYL YEX.905
THE BEATLES - TUBE CUT AUDIOPHILE MINI LPs ONTO CD.

NOW WE PRESENT YOU WITH OUR NEWEST ADDITIONS :

''At some point in the late 60's they changed equipment at Abbey Road from tube-driven to solidstate gear, prior to the recording of the Abbey Road album. Any albums made before that change are thusly called "tube cuts." The -2/-2 Sgt Pepper was cut after the change to solid state gear, so the -1/-1 is the only "tube cut" of the stereo Pepper (not sure about the mono). Maybe someone with better knowledge of the subject than I can chime in.

Prior to this 'drop from Mirror Spock I don't think anyone had done a transfer from a tube cut stereo Sgt Pepper (or any other tube cut album except maybe the White Album), mainly(?) because mint sounding copies are difficult to find.

Now a review of Belmo (one of the greatest Beatles authorities in the world) on our needledrops who had access to these drops prior to you, Beatlefriends (this is the Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Tube Cut drop) :

''I only had about 5 minutes to sample this disc (between my daughter's tv show ending and my other daughter having to study) and I must say that I was blown away by the sound representation coming out of my speakers! How the hell did they do it? Wow! You know, with many great sounding discs from the likes of Ebbetts, Dledin, I really couldn't imagine something surpassing all these other attempts by that much. At this point I figure it's gotta be trivial improvements and all a matter or whose technique sounds best. But this pristine tube cut disc is immaculate. Flawless at this point. ''

The equipment used to deliver such impressive material is as follows :

{Technical Details}
Turntable: VPI Scoutmaster Signature Plus
Cartridge: Audio-Technica AT33PTG
Preamp: Pro-Ject Tubebox
Interconnects: Blue Jean Cables
Soundcard: E-MU 0202 USB (Recorded at 192khz)
Signal Chain: Turntable > Phono Preamp > Soundcard
Izotope RX Advanced for SRC and Dither to 44.1khz
Click Repair on very light (DEPENDING ON THE LP)

Mike McGear & McGough MINI-LP 3-CD-BOX (Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, WINGS, Brian Jones and others) (3-CD-SET+8-PAGE-BOOKLET)












Mike McGear & McGough MINI-LP 3-CD-BOX (Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, WINGS, Brian Jones and others) (3-CD-SET+8-PAGE-BOOKLET)
Well, well....... here, you simply have one of the rarest compilations ever! FAB PRODUCTIONS got ahold of the first 3 Mike McCartney LPs. Now just for your information, the first two LPs, McGough & McGear & Woman are out of print and a used copy of the former ranges between U$ 90.00 to U$ 130.00 and U$ 50.00 to U$ 70.00 for the latter. The third LP is more common, but a copy costs around U$ 40.00 even so.....
So, Mirror Spock did a needle drop of the three above-mentioned LPs and we assembled them all in one FAB BOX with an accompanying booklet and the results are outstanding!!!!!!!!
Once again, finding a regular copy of ANY of the three LPs above is virtually impossible, but finding a mint copy, a sealed copy like we did, it's unheard of. The needledrop here is above any standards and make this SET unique and priceless.
There's a CD copy of the first record ; McGough & McGear at Amazon, for just U$ 88.00, without shipping, and there's only 2 copies, another one, goes for U$ 122.00........ ONLY 1 album!
So, we're talking about a real treat, a real treasure here! What is so special about it? Well, here we have ALL COMPOSITIONS by Paul McCartney & Mike McCartney, the production is also Paul's and Paul participates with vocals in almost all of the songs, along with geniouses like : Jimi Hendirx, Brian Jones (Rolling Stones) and other stars! On the Third record, the whole WINGS personnel is playing for Mike McCArtney, including lots of vocalizations by Paul, who also is in charge of the production and compositions! So, it's a real gem, the songs are fantastic, but it's not well known and it's also very rare and extremely difficult to find nowadays.
I URGE YOU ALL TO GOOGLE IT AND SEE HOW GOOD AND HOW EXPENSIVE AND RARE THESE 3 LPs ARE!
Also, as a bonus, all three albums come in mini-LP format along with an 8-page-book with all the info on the discs and the history of the tracks all of it inside a hard cardboard box slipcase box WITH FANTASTIC ARTWORK!!!!!!!!!
PRICE OF THIS AMAZING SET????

ALL THINGS MUST PASS COMPLETE PRESSINGS (10-MINI-LP-SET+POSTER)























ALL THINGS MUST PASS COMPLETE PRESSINGS (10-MINI-LP-SET+POSTER)
ALL THINGS MUST PASS - BRAZILIAN TRUE MONO (ONLY KNOWN IN EXISTENCE)
ALL THINGS MUST PASS - GERMAN 1º PRESSING (AMAZING SOUND)
ALL THINGS MUST PASS - UK 1º PRESS (THE VERY FIRST PRESSING OF THIS ALBUM, ULTRA RARE)
ALL THINGS MUST PASS - TOSHIBA RED WAX 1º PRESSING (AMAZING WARM SOUND)
ALL THINGS MUST PASS - 2001 REMASTERED EDITION WITH DIFFERENT MIX AND THE EXTRA SONGS
All of that comes housed in a FAB Heavy Cardboard slipcase BOX and that ''All Things Must Pass'' poster!
10 CDs, into perfect replicas mini-LPs including the inserts with lyrics, etc......
Just for information : The Brazilian MONO edition of this album is OUT OF PRINT, ultra rare and the last time I looked at EBAY, it cost U$ 300.00 in mint condition, sure, you may find another SET a bit cheaper, but what about the quality? I doubt that. The Brazilian pressing was only issued in 1971 and there was no reissue of this album in MONO, so that's what makes it ultra rare!
The UK First pressing of this album ranges between U$ 150.00 to U$ 300.00 a SET, and no guarantee that it will be mint + like it should be!
The Japanese red wax pressing costs around U$ 250.00 at EBAY, IF YOU FIND IT!
Even the remastered LP edition of this album is getting rarer by the minute and a mint SET costs no less than U$ 150.00 ANYWHERE!
So, understand what you have on your hands here? The rarity of it? The value of this SET is astronomic!
You are getting 5 complete virgin ATMP SET needledrops onto 10 CDs, plus a big poster for a ridiculous price and this is THE BEST quality of the best pressings you will ever hear! The definitive SET!
