Comments:

A working page for now.

I have an early CDR non genuine disc with alternate mastering and I suspect that this is an early DESS release.

Audio rip and data needed of the Postech version and 2005 issue

2001/2 - was this the Docs first FREE Upgrade or was this system not in place yet

Sept 2004 defective rig - Image needed and mass mailer fro original issue and subsequent explanation.

Release Notes:

Jan 2005

The Early Beatles MONO is NOT YET a part of the upgrade list. I am obtaining a nicer copy and will release the upgrade for this title at a later time.

Apr 2006

When I compared my upgraded mono versions to the mono versions of the boxed set - in terms of fidelity ONLY - I was not quite as pleased. True, my mono versions are all correct mixes, utilizing the original vinyl as the source - but whereas I was VERY pleased with the mono upgrades as compared to the FIRST BOX SET, I was not quite as warm and fuzzy about the comparisons made to the SECOND BOX SET. I'm not sure why, but something told me I had to do something about it.

Now, with that said, let me state that the LP "The Early Beatles," in glorious monophonic audio, sounds considerably different than the boxed set version in many ways - not the least of which is the echo and compression. Just listen to "Twist And Shout," for example. The boxed set version is remarkably clean and drier sounding, whereas the version from the original vinyl LP sounds compressed and over-echoed. This is PRECISELY why the Ebbetts project exists - to preserve the vinyl experience. I am here to help create representation of the band original vinyl output ... However, they still need to sound as good as they can be...

Dec 2007

These new upgraded discs will make obsolete and outdated the current Ebbetts audio in your collections. In many cases, audio levels have been adjusted, some extemporaneous noise removed, etc.
