Half-Speed Mastered by Stan Ricker ~ Pressed in Japan on JVC *Super Vinyl*

The Beatles: The Collection was a vinyl box set of every Beatles album remastered at half speed from the original stereo master recordings, except for Magical Mystery Tour which was mastered from Capitol Records' submasters with the last three tracks in rechanneled stereo. Each album was pressed on virgin vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan ensuring the best sound quality possible. The album covers were replaced with photographs of tape boxes and log sheet. The original album covers were included in a booklet which also featured a certificate of authenticity as this was a limited edition collection. Missing from this collection was all of the Beatles' singles that did not appear on their original
UK albums.

Released with much anticipation in early October 1982, The Collection was lauded by critics and fans worldwide for the superb sound, and sold-out completely within the first year. MFSL repressed a second run of the Beatles Box Set for a total production run of 25,000 over the next two years or until October 1985. Today, The Collection fetches up to $10,000.00 for a mint condition set on online auctions.

In my own collection I have (a still sealed) box of the half speed mastered vinyl discs.
http://thebestbeatlesblog.blogspot.s...atles-box.html

I also have four different versions of the Dr. Ebbets MFSL vinyl rips.

1. the 24/96 FLAC version
2. the 24/96 WAV version
3. the 24/96 320 Kbps MP3 version
4. the 24/96 VBR MP3 version

The last two (3 + 4)... I really can't understand why someone has transfered a half speed mastered vinyl disc to MP3?????? I'm really confused.

My question is - is this the real The Beatles: The Collection MFSL box set from 1982?
I've been searching and reading all information about this box set in wikipedia and some articles and forums. One said that the original 1982 box set sounds perfect, without pops, buzz, etc. and there are also some bootleg version of this so-called 'bootleg box set' out there.

On the 3rd line on the above text it says "The 2010 Doc Ebbetts Vinyl Remasters".

That's what made me think twice. I'd ask for help to make it clear if these rips are comes from the original 1982 or not?

Wouldn't these new 2014 mono Beatles 180 gram LP's coming be just as good or better?

I'm afraid a full speed mastered vinyl disc can't compares with a half speed mastered vinyl disc from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab.

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab at Wikipedia

The Beatles: The Collection at Wikipedia

that is a matter of taste....everyoe knows MFSL eqs their recordings.
i have heard some quite tasty UK original mono. tubecut. all ripped by someone just as good or i'll say better than DESS.

DESS did indeed supposedly use the original MFSL set borrowed from some of his worldwide collection of friends, etc.

However, someone is probably fudging a bit concerning all the equipment details, as the Dr. strictly refused to discuss the system he worked with so as not produce constant arguments over it. Additionally, only one lp, of all the MFSL releases was half-speed mastered, and that was SPLHCB.

As for sheer quality I can tell you that the Millennium remasters versions were generally superior to the DESS ones. I have recently discovered that DESS used equalization at times on his rips, whereas MR did not, and therefore remain truer to the original vinyls.
