Remastered White Album on vinyl

Tbromgard, The stereo separation is very hard left and right with the center stage in most songs empty. It comes directly from the speakers. Very strange. It does show more detail than the mono version I have picked up for comparison, but that just showcases the odd stereo mix.

I had never had a copy of Rubber Soul and love it for it's music, so although I am not put off by the digital sound as Mr. Femmer is, I like him, cannot warn you strongly enough about the mix. Every time I reach for it now I seem to play the mono version.

One thing I forgot to mention, on the American RS mono you lose Drive my Car and Nowhere man.

All my responses are regarding the Rubber Soul question you asked. Not White Album. Sorry!

Thanks Acman-
I have never listened to a mono version. do you need a special mono cartridge or setting on pre amp? I have neither.

I just used my regular cartridge and phono amp, but some people swear by a special mono cartridge. THEY will need to answer as to what they hear.

The remastered mono versions are supposed to come out next year, so they can make more money. It may be a good time to get this record. Try to listen to it sometime in the future.

Btw, I do listen to the stereo Rubber Soul, and enjoy it, but sometimes, the stereo mix bothers me more than other times. YMMV?
