beatles remix in mono

Up until the last few albums they released, The Beatles saw the monophonic mix as the primary version of their albums. The stereo mixes were mixed by record companies as a gimmick. Usually, these stereo versions were terribly mixed, with vocals only in the right channel and instruments only in the left channel.

The reasoning behind this lack of focus on the stereo mixes comes from the limits of musical technology adoption. During the Sixties, most music was played on monophonic record players, jukeboxes, or AM radio. Listening to music in headphones, where the left and right channels are clearly separated, was just not the norm.

Due to this separation of instrumentation from the vocals, I was able to reconstruct pieces of songs by The Beatles into a new and original work.
