That might be a possibility, yes. I don’t think ‘Pendulum’ ever got a full Universal CD issue, the transient Sunbeam CD was taken from the Lansdowne Studio tape copy and not Universal’s copy, if my memory on this one is right.

Eddie Henderson -Heritage, Blue Note Classic Series (2025)
For Heritage , Henderson assembled a forward-looking crew that included Julian Priester on trombone, Hadley Caliman on woodwinds, Patrice Rushen on keyboards, Paul Jackson on bass, Mtume on percussion, and the drummers Mike Clark , Woody Theus , and Billy Hart . The 7-song set is heavy on vibe and rife with fierce grooves, dark textures, and intricate arrangements that take the listener on an epic journey.

The Beatles In Mono: 14 LP Box Set
£429.99
Repress: 180-Gram LPs in a Limited 14LP Boxed Edition with Hardbound Book.
The Beatles In Mono available to order for the first time since the original release in 2014.
Containing the first nine mono-released U.K. albums by The Beatles, the American-compiled Magical Mystery Tour, and the Mono Masters collection of non-album tracks on heavyweight 180-gram vinyl LPs with faithfully replicated artwork.
The Beatles in Mono: this is how most listeners first heard the group in the 1960s, when mono was the predominant audio format. Up until 1968, each Beatles album was given a unique mono and stereo mix, but the group always regarded the mono as primary.
In an audiophile-minded undertaking, The Beatles’ acclaimed mono albums were mastered in 2014 for vinyl from quarter-inch master tapes at Abbey Road Studios by GRAMMY®-winning engineer Sean Magee and GRAMMY®-winning mastering supervisor Steve Berkowitz without using any digital technology. Instead, they employed the same procedures used in the 1960s, guided by the original albums and by detailed transfer notes made by the original cutting engineers.
Working in the same room at Abbey Road where most of The Beatles’ albums were initially cut, the pair first dedicated weeks to concentrated listening, fastidiously comparing the master tapes with first pressings of the mono records made in the 1960s. Using a rigorously tested Studer A80 machine to play back the precious tapes, the new vinyl was cut on a 1980s-era VMS80 lathe. Manufactured for the world at Optimal Media in Germany, The Beatles’ albums are presented in their original glory, both sonically and in their packaging.
The boxed collection’s exclusive 12-inch by 12-inch hardbound book features essays and a detailed history of the mastering process by award-winning radio producer and author Kevin Howlett. The book is illustrated with many rare studio photos of The Beatles, fascinating archive documents, and articles and advertisements sourced from 1960s publications.
This product is limited to 1 per order.

This is sometimes the best and only way to go, usually if the original tapes are in fragile condition, so only suitable for a single pass, or if they cannot be moved from a particular location.

There will be many very happy people seeing this set being re-pressed, although I note it’s currently showing as sold out…

I heard somewhere on a blog that there are 6,000 copies being pressed - 1,000 were available yesterday to folk who have used The Beatles Store before and 5,000 available today. Not sure how accurate that is, but I suggest those interested in picking up the boxset keep an eye out this morning.
I don’t quite understand that rationale for such a limited repress given the obvious demand. Nor the new price, to be honest. While undoubtedly expensive today, I believe the original box cost over £300 when released in 2024.
I ordered the box set last night after initially baulking at the price. Was just about to go to bed but had another look; when it said 74 remaining I decided to strike. Never spent anywhere near that much on vinyl before. My friend has the original box and the SQ is really good. Hope this is the same.
