Producer Glyn Johns says that the Rolling Stones in Mono box set is a "true representation" of what the Rolling Stones should sound like.

"If you want to get a really true representation of what the early Rolling Stones stuff is, then you have to listen to it in mono," he says.

"That was the way it was intended to be."

"Everything was done in mono. There was no demand for stereo at all," he added.

"We had to start making stereo mixes of what we were doing. But all of the effort and time and production went into the mono recording."

Johns then said that after the demand for stereo mixes increased, studio engineers were forced to record in stereo after the fact, leaving the recordings "pretty screwed."

Rolling Stones In Mono was released last month.%MCEPASTEBIN%
