In this video we explore the importance of mono records. In particular, how a large percentage of important records of the first part of the past century were in mono and are now reissued in fake, electronically obtained, stereo. Finally, we take a look on how to correctly reproduce our mono vinyl records.

ERRATA CORRIGE: As some of you correctly pointed out, Pet Sounds and Axis Bold as Love or other records, in most cases were recorded in mono but also in a stereo version. So they are not digitally recreated in stereo. That does happen, but with much older records. Plus, it is important to underline that, a monophonic record or mono record is the result of a
MONO mix and mastering. The recording process obviouslly employs several mics.
