This is one of the seminal albums of the 60's along with the White Album and Let it Bleed. Originally mixed to Mono and a few tunes half heartedly to stereo, this record contains the title track "My Generation" which is as accurate today as it was 40 years ago. Additional tunes include "The Kids Are Alright", "I'm a Man", "It's Not True", and "The Ox" among others. To mount this important reissue, we reassembled the original MONO master takes of each tune onto a master reel and had Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering cut directly from that reel through our all tube MONO cutting system. That's right, this is not mono cut on a stereo head with the resulting crosstalk (read added ambient information) - it is the real deal just like it was cut in 1965 from the Shel Talmy (producer) original (not copies) MONO master tapes. Artwork and labels are meticulously recreated from a Mint original copy of the impossibly rare UK Brunswick LP - which now sells for over $1500. On eBay. Whether you were alive in 1965 or not you need this record in your collection, that is, unless you are into Lionel Richie, in which case you should save your money because you won't get it anyway. The first release from arguably the World's best Rock band - still! Buy it or piss off you wankers.
