Can any one give me a fairly accurate list of how long it took The Beatles to make each LP.

"Please Please me" album took 12 hours: The BBC reconstructed the session with other artists.....

I think as they progressed it took longer for each album. 'Let It Be' took about two years. lol

Even two years is quicker than many acts today.

Here is a link to the Mental Floss site. There is an article about the Please Please Me album. There are ten unusual facts about the album, some of which hard-core Beatle fans already know. But I didn't know it was almost recorded at the Cavern Club. mentalfloss.com/article/77493/10-facts-about-beatles-please-please-me-albumIn the first year or two of Beatle recordings, there were instances where, in the two-part harmony, John would sing one word and Paul would sing another. By 1965 such things were worked out. A couple of years after the Brian Wilson Smile album was released, the original Beach Boys recordings were assembled and released. As great as the Wondermints are, as great as new technology is, the Beach Boys version sounds better. And I'm more of a Brian Wilson fan than a Beach Boys fan.

Geoff Emerick estimated it took 700 hours to make Sgt Pepper. Three weeks to do the mono mixes and three days to do the stereo mixes. It shows what little was thought of stereo recordings at that time. It was just thought of as a format that would never catch on in the UK but within two years it would be industry standard.

The real reason Stereo recordings took over MONO recordings is because the music/entertainment industry, in all their infinite wisdom, quit making Mono recordings available. They made you like Stereo! Just like they did with Cassettes over 8 Tracks, single cassettes over the 45 rpm single, the CD over the vinyl album, VHS over Beta and the DVD over VHS. There was NO choice to be had! Their way of brainwashing the public into thinking they were the better product, they made you buy them or you would have nothing at all!
