Whatever one’s view of the “wall-of-sound,” after almost forty years now it is an intrical part of the music. It has a warm and full quality and it tends to bring into greater focus Phil Spector’s production on the music. They use a very clean vinyl with a tiny hint of surface noise betraying its orgin. Empress Valley’s version is therefore the only available edition on the market. Ebbetts have all but ignored the mono pressing of All Things Must Pass.

Surpisingly the big Beatle needle drop labels like Millenium Remasters and Dr.

Technically, this is a two channel stereo in what many audiophiles calls “fake mono.” The Brazilian pressing is extremely rare with original vinyl copies going for high prices. On the early Beatle albums there would be interesting differences in the mix between the two formats, but in 1970 no such differences exist. All Things Must Pass was recorded and pressed in stereo, but a mono edition was released in Brazil. The same holds true for George Harrison’s first solo album after the break up. The exception to this is Brazil, who still maintained that albums be released in mono and this the source for the only mono editions of the later Beatle albums. By the end of the decade, with the advancement of technology, stereo became favored as the final two albums, Abbey Road and Let It Be, being issued in stereo only. In the early sixties The Beatles released their albums in both stereo and mono with the latter being the preferred format.
