The Beatles - Revolver (1966) + bonus tracks - 2009 Mono Remaster

First of all, many thanks for these recent posts. You rock! Second, I would also love to know how to produce a working .CUE sheet - searching on the net yielded no results. I did figure out though how to place metadata in the FLAC's using EAC. Just plug the following code between the quotation marks into the box Additional Command Line Options on the tab External Compression that you access from EAC/Compression Options: "-0 -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s". Hope this helps!

If you merge tracks from different sources, I'm afraid it's very complicated to make a cue file that works...

Why not you simply rip the whole disc in one file with a cue sheet (in EAC, Action/Copy Image & Create CUE Sheet)? After, if you want, you can split the disc into individual tracks with any program. I suppose you know .cue files are in fact .txt files you can open and manipulate with NotePad...

For to rip, I use EAC; for to convert sound, Easy CD-DA Extractor and to manipulate tags, Tag&Rename. For to configure EAC correctly, there is a document that guides you step by step. Search it (just now I dont know any link to it) and follow its instructions.

And, of course, thanks a lot for your post(s)! Go on...

Thank you !!!

Hope we will get all the MONO soon with the scans and so on :)

Thanks elvisxmas and ramonjd. I've not actually been compressing in EAC, just ripping to wav. And even when I tell EAC to put in the metadata (%T/%A, etc etc) half of it is missing in the wav file! I then do a quick conversion to FLAC using 'FLAC Frontend', and that retains whatever metadata is there. But I shall try reconfiguring (again!). I have also tried ripping to all one file with a cue file, but couldn't get the cue to work. But I'll try again because I do like the all-in-one files, and I have the medieval splitter if needed too. I'm actually doing all this away from home, so it may be a problem with this computer. I'll be doing more ripping when I get home tomorrow. And I may post another rip tonight from where I am.

It's nice if we can get all these little things right - but at least we have the most important thing - the MUSIC! :) I'll keep trying though - thanks for the advice :)

When you rip the music using EAC while the disc is still in the DVD-ROM go to: Action on the Menu Bar and when the window falls you choose: Create CUE Sheet. There are several options: I usually choose - Leftout gaps. Actually they are not necessary for the CDs.

Regarding FLACs - open from the Menu: EAC. When the window falls - open: Compression options. Then open: External Compression. Choose the window: Additional Command-line Options and write in the cell this: -8 -V -T "ARTIST=%a" -T "TITLE=%t" -T "ALBUM=%g" -T "DATE=%y" -T "TRACKNUMBER=%n" -T "GENRE=%m" -T "COMMENT=%e" %s -o %d

Enjoy!

Thanks! I don't use EAC. I just never have installed it. I use Foobar and it will read a cue sheet but I have never figured out how to rip and make a cue sheet with it. The newer versions of Foobar will rip as a single file with the cue embedded to break out the individual tracks. I wish I could make a cue sheet with Foobar. Most people use EAC so I probably should go that direction but I have used Foobar for years and other than the cue sheet, I have figure it out pretty well. I hate learning new programs. Good luck and thanks again!

Thanks for this new post One of my faves

Perhaps the problem is that, as far as I know, WAV files dont support any kind of tags. FLAC, APE, WV, etc. are able to keep tags, but no wav; so, you must encode the rip or you always gonna loose the tags.

thanks man, downloading and expecting the other ones very soon.

@ Ramonjd: Ahhhhh, that is why then! Now it all makes sense.
@ Glarus63: I tried to install the FLAC plugin in EAC, but couldn't get it to work. I followed some instructions on the net, but they didn't make sense at one point so I couldn't continue. So I can't rip to FLAC in EAC, only WAV. But if I can figure out how to get a working cue file, that will solve all the problems of lost metadata.
@ 4-F: Yeah, I always use Foobar too, and it's good for creating m3u files (playlist files) for albums - really just text files you can also open in notepad, but very handy.

Other than the bonus tracks & mini video doc, are these versions you're posting identical to the remastered 2009 Beatles mono box sets posted with the stereo set last week but now gone? If not, what are the essential differences?

@ numrat668: Yes, everything I am posting is taken from the 'Beatles In Mono' 2009 remaster box set, including the bonus tracks.
@ Guthead: Thanks, I shall look at that. I have had great trouble trying to get EAC to work with the FLAC plug-in, so I'll see if I can learn anything from that.

@LezDawson: Sorry, only one question, why did you add bonus tracks and from where? The original release do not include "bonus tracks".

@ gica: The bonus tracks are songs from the same period or sessions as the album, taken from the *Mono Masters* 2009 remaster disc. Why? Because I thought it might be nice to do!

Thanks for your great effort LezDawson.
Particularly for adding the bonus tracks....:)

See @ Crewz Sept.15th (three comments below)

Thanks Hellenback - I seem to have got it all sussed now though, so I'm going to leave well alone! :)

Adding bonus tracks to an album of this stature is ludicrous.

@ Vogelweide: complaining about having 2 extra tracks is ludicrous. You've got a delete button - use it and get rid of the two extra tracks, and shut the fuck up! :P

LOL Agree x 10!

Good advice. Better than my convoluted attempt at help!

Great share! Thank you! ... ship them all! :)

Here is a BBC radio documentary celebrating George Martin's work with The Beatles:

Sorry it's only 128kbps (yuck) but is the best I could find.

Sobre todo para
los cuatro primeros LP/CDs.

Y es que el stereo es tan artificial y chabacano que quedaba mucho mejor dejarla en mono
incluso hasta hoy en dia.

Escuchar en stereo....
Roll over Beethoven o All my loving (por citar dós)
es un autentico martirio incluso en las nuevas remasterizaciones de 2009.

No obstante muchas gracias por la subida y las aclaraciones.
