The Beatles - The Collection [MFSL] [Vinyl] - Dr. Robert

All rips are the *new rips* with the equipment listed below. All ripping credits go to Dr. Robert. The 2010 Doc Rob Vinyl Remasters Vinyl rips in 24-bit/96kHz | FLAC (5% Recovery) | m3u, no cue or log | Full LP Artwork Rock & Roll Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs - MFSL 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.[1] 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. [2] Today, The Collection fetches up to $1,000.00 for a mint condition set on online auctions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles:_The_Collection Contents: 1. Please Please Me - MFSL1-101 2.

LOL!
If I'd be looking for recognition, I wouldn't post at TPB :)
Enjoy this collection HMV!

-wiggidy- (2010-11-29)

Finally, this is posted as a torrent. Thanks a million.

dpance (2010-12-12)

Well, first and foremost a million thanks and massive positive Karma must be bestowed upon insinuendo. I've downloaded other MFSL classic albums and have enjoyed the rich vinyl sound thoroughly.
Just finished downloading this collection successfully and I'm getting errors when trying to listen to the flac files or when I attempt to decode using Flac Frontend. I'm a fairly savvy computer user and no stranger to torrenting or The Pirate Bay.
What am I doing wrong here? As mentioned, the 11gig download went without a hitch. All the album art opens up nicely but no music for me...
Thank you AGAIN insinuendo for your time and effort.

dpance (2010-12-13)

Operator error as suspected. I figure my problem is with the 24-bit/96kHz part of this fine upload.
Anyway, I used another software package called Switch to play as well as convert the files to .wav and don't have a problem at all. Everything sounds killer! Getting re-acquainted with Abbey Road after all these years.
Thanks again insinuendo !!!!!!

thermal_audio (2010-12-18)

thanks for you work. not just this one.
very important to capture original mixes when they're good.
jumping jack flash by the rolling stones was never really released as a track on a regularly released album.
it was really a single only but appears on "best ofs" and collections.
i'm wondering if the quality of the single is superior to that of the compliation LPs?

 insinuendo (2010-12-23)

Again, read the description.
This is 24/96 and requires adequate software, or must be burned to DVD. This is NOT redbook.
I recommend foobar2000 http://www.foobar2000.org/

ogchris (2010-12-24)

@ insinuendo. Thank you for sharing this absolutely amazing collection. The quality is beyond comparison.

agonzz (2010-12-31)

Wow! Sounds great. A million thanks.

 Murlok (2010-12-31)

Great Work THX :)

Zarkow (2011-01-03)

Awesome share. A note, most people might play this great FLAC release of The Beatles on the computer, but if you want to put it on your cell phone etc you might have to convert it to a MP3.
If you wanna try a Beta of a free tool called zAudioConverter, that does this.

orionkarate (2011-02-13)

People should read this letter from the truely author Dr.Ebbert:
With all respect, the name of Dr. is Ebbetts, not Robert.
In the mail (link above), Dr. Ebbetts stated the reason why he decided to cease his works.
Honestly, I am just a listener and Dr. Ebbetts said the official remasters release is superior, so I think, maybe its quality is better.

Gigantix (2011-02-14)

Thanks a lot, sounds great.

Justmetoo (2011-03-15)

Thanks a million insinuendo. I finished the download yesterday and today i converted some of the albums to MP3 320kbps to transfer to my iPhone but something is not working right. The conversion process using All2Mp3 for Mac behaves correctly but when the job is done (super fast way too fast) the resulting Mp3 file is 0kb...no data in the Mp3 file. Any idea why? The flac file is perfect and plays perfectly also.

Chromie192 (2011-04-02)

This torrent brings me so much joy. Seriously you and HMVinyl are the best. I have downloaded most if not all of your FLAC music files.

thksp (2011-04-04)

Dr Robert and Dr. Ebbets are not the same person. The Dr. Ebbets' rips that I know of (and have) are 16/44.1 and these are 24/96.

jonviljar (2011-05-15)

Fantastic. I am speechless. I literally have no speech.

XxM24Ty (2011-07-16)

I have the 2009 Remixes in wave/Audio CD made from the Flac recordings posted on this forum. I am very proud of the collection I have as it is, In what ways can this collection sound better than the popular 2009 flac collection? I mean I can hear things in the 2009 remixes I could never hear before, and am very impressed by it. I am not impressed by records.

XxM24Ty (2011-07-16)

Nevermind, I just found my answer in the FAQ for the media player advised to use: "Does foobar2000 sound better than other players?
No. Most of “sound quality differences” people “hear” are placebo effect (at least with real music), as actual differences in produced sound data are below their noise floor (1 or 2 last bits in 16bit samples). foobar2000 has sound processing features such as software resampling or 24bit output on new high-end soundcards, but most of the other mainstream players are capable of doing the same by now."
Come on people, they even admit it's a "placebo effect"!! Like a sugar pill.

thksp (2011-08-04)

If you have good sound equipment then try this files and then you can judge for yourself, if not, don't boither. You may not be able to hear the difference (also note that 2009 remasters and MFSL are different materings)

Bruzem (2011-10-30)

Thanks, astonishing quality......!!

_kewlCat (2011-11-29)

The good Dr. Robert ROCKS, thanks Doc!!! Since the 60's, I have had every one of these LPs scratched, stolen, or wasted. Now, the Doc offers them a perfect, "unscratchable", long lasting format.

_kewlCat (2011-11-29)

PS: haha, FK R1AA_Sheit_Redbook piss poor quality; just caught the below comment, thanks a million doc!!!!!!
>>>> This is 24/96 and requires adequate software, or must be burned to DVD. This is NOT redbook.

_kewlCat (2011-11-29)

Final comment...
Foobar2000 Kills Winamp and makes an incredible sonic difference at 24/96. Winamp does not do 24/96 justice, not one iota.
Listen to FLAC 24/96 quality with the correct app to know how great the Dr is...
http://www.foobar2000.org/
You'll thank the Doc if you do...

Flubly (2012-03-20)

Everything sounds great except Sergeant Pepper. I'm getting distortion on the treble in almost every track. It isn't constant, almost acts like clipping. Does anyone else have that problem? I am playing them in foobar2000.

MixedUpZombie (2012-03-21)

I came. Seriously, more people like Dr. Robert here need to do Vinyl discographies. +1

MixedUpZombie (2012-04-28)

This torrent is AMAZING. My only complaint is that on the later half of sgt. peppers, sometimes there's a faint buzzing sound. Still, the quality is perfect. Almost no pops in the audio.

mihcox (2012-07-26)

This is incredible, I'm not sure I've ever heard such quality. Do you have any other rips of this nature?

frengqy (2013-02-22)

thanks, cool! downloading now

bodluvzlife (2013-04-12)

insinuendo your torrents show a great taste in music and movies. ils sont superbes

Inferati (2013-09-25)

This sounds amazing, the cover art also of great quality!

Haygi (2013-10-16)

Hi there for everyone... It seems like we're having a great discusion here.
I would like to ask insinuendo, please rep.
My question is simple, 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 forum. 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 5th line of this torrent info you wrote, "The 2010 Doc Rob Vinyl Remasters"
That's what made me think twice and even more to download this... So if you don't mind, I'd ask for your help to make it clear if these rips are comes from the original 1982 or not.
Thank you.

lucaast (2014-01-27)

These sound awesome. Thank you!

Joshua277456 (2014-04-27)

Can you, or Dr. Robert, tell me exactly what equipment you used to make these rips? Turntable, Cartridge, Preamp, A/D Converter, and Software?

linguistics101 (2014-07-31)

The best vinyl versions available recorded on a $2 turntable. Get a decent belt-drive turntable, Dr.

linguistics101 (2014-09-18)

Update: This download features the best sounding "Let It Be" I've been able to find.
