The 1992 CD EP box

[Tex]

In 1992 EMI released a CD version of the late 1981 EP box. Apparently this release was ignored or dismissed as redundant by most fans. What is desirable about the CD release is that mastering is often superior to what was done in 1986/1987 of the same material.

Although most of the EPs are 2nd gen tapes the "Bonus" EP was possibly a compilation of 1st gen stereo masters. The most important track is "She's A Woman" on the "Bonus" EP which retains Paul's count-in and sounds radically better EQ-wise than what was transferred for "Past Masters" (aka Trashed Masters). The mono "Hand" is also a knock out that will have you ditching every stereo version.

Here is the CD version of the "Bonus" EP:

Here is the CD version of the "Million Sellers" EP:

Here is the CD version of the "The Beatles Hits" EP:

These transfers are worth the price of the CD EP box in my opinion. Get these now. Also get the box on Ebay.

Thank you Engonoceras! I have the CD EP box set, but it's very inconvenient for me to play CDs anymore (the equipment I have is not optimal), so I have been wanting to get these in digital format -- I really appreciate these 3 discs you shared (sound quality is excellent!)

Thanks for posting this Beatles UK EPS.
I don't think I have ever heard of the bonus Ep.
This release contained only 3 EPS as a special release?

The CD EP box has all the British Beatles EPs.

I just picked those three because certain songs have great sound and so people could compare with the 2009 remasters.

Also it's been out of print for almost 30 years.

Can you please post the whole Box Set?

No, bad bad idea.

I remastered the 1966 stereo mix of I Want To Hold Your Hand using your mono version as a reference. Should make a good companion piece.
