Description
The Beatles
As released by Mobile Fidelity
Intro
Brad Miller was both a producer and a recording engineer. In 1977, Miller founded Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, an organization dedicated to faithful sound reproduction. By slowing down the mastering process to "half-speed," by making use of a master tape as close to the original as possible, and by using high quality "virgin" vinyl made by the Japanese Victor Company, Mobile Fidelity set out to issue a series of Original Master Recordings in higher quality than commonly available to the general public.The first OMR album was issued in February, 1978. As the process gained popularity -- especially after the release of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon in 1979 -- it was inevitable that Beatles records would be issued through Mobile Fidelity.
The first Beatles record to be issued by MFSL was Abbey Road, catalog number 1-023. This choice was not surprising, since that album made use of the most modern recording equipment available to the Beatles. Released in late December, 1979, Abbey Road quickly sold out its original pressing. Although information was circulated that MoFi only pressed 20,000 of each album, this was untrue; in fact, MFSL's own literature only indicates that they would press no more than 200,000 of any album. Repressings were done, depending on the popularity of a given album. Quite a few copies of Abbey Road are out there, proving that it was quite popular for MFSL. Gregg Schnitzer of MFSL says that about 50,000 copies each were pressed of the (first few) Beatles records on MoFi. A sub-master was obtained from Capitol for this release, rather than obtaining an earlier generation tape from England.
