    You'd expect a P copy of this 1st US mono to also play poorly, but I was pleasantly surprised by the dynamic sonics. Chalk that up to (a) the underlying excellent pressing and (b) the benefits of a true mono cart like my A-T 33.

        Quite a few people criticize this album by Capitol,even in Mono? My Album sounds acceptable to Me.

            I have a nearly identical one except my matrix/runout has

            MAS-1-2653-F1 #2 IAM

            on side 1 and

            MAS-2-2653-F1 #3 IAM

            on side 2.

              The Beatles masterpiece as I'm sure many other people will agree. There is no album better than this.
