{"product_id":"the-beatles-let-it-be-reel-masters-1cd","title":"THE BEATLES \/ LET IT BE REEL MASTERS (1CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Let It Be\" was released in May 1970 as The Beatles' final album. At the time, the shift from mono, which was the norm in the 1960s, to stereo was underway, and The Beatles' records, \"Abbey Road\" and \"Let It Be,\" were only released in stereo, with no mono releases. Meanwhile, reel-to-reel tapes were also released in various countries, and in the UK, both the stereo and mono versions were released. While vinyl records were still the norm at the time, reel tapes were still scarce, with only a select few audiophiles having access to playback equipment. Due to their rarity, these reel tapes are still rare, fetching high prices at auctions. This direct-transfer CD release features these tapes. This release features both the stereo version from AMPEX in the US and the mono version from EMI in the UK. While these have now been officially remastered and released on CD, you can enjoy the pure sound quality of the original analog recordings. The UK mono version, which is said to have been mixed perfectly with just a fold-down stereo, is also a valuable official tape recording, not a vinyl transcription. The unusual track order also makes this a collector's item. The original tape has been newly digitized and restored, with only hiss removal, resulting in the highest quality available to date. The inside jacket also features photos of the actual backsides of the US and UK recordings. This is a must-have collector's item for the final album, \"Let It Be\"!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"dap","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52492331057468,"sku":null,"price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5801\/7084\/files\/174025598.webp?v=1763862045","url":"https:\/\/worldmusiclover.com\/fr\/products\/the-beatles-let-it-be-reel-masters-1cd","provider":"WORLD MUSIC LOVER","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
