You mean the pressing from the Beatles mono collection vinyl box ? I don't think there was a USA pressing for these, at least never seen one. I don't know for PPM in particular but the mono box only had a UK release. The earlier stereo box and separate stereo LPs from 2012 were pressed in the USA (4 different factories if I remember correctly) and in the EU (in Germany). Some of the USA pressings were of extremely poor quality (i.e. some records were nearly unplayable, some had warp or were off-centre or had bad vinyl fill), leading to a huge number of complaints. There is a thread on stevehoffman forums somewhere and it's hard to believe what some factories delivered to the customer. Possibly Apple learned its lesson and decided not to release USA pressings for the mono versions (which would mainly be bought by very critical audiophiles). |

I do not think they were pressed in the US. I have copies and there is no markings on covers or stickers except on Mono Masters, which states "Printed in the EU". ALL the disc's on all mono lp's state "Made in the EU" on the bottom of the labels. The US stereo copies state "Manufactured by Capitol Records" with the tower address (Vine St, Hollywood CA) on stickers but no statement on labels. The Mono pressings are much better quality records. |
