The Beatles Remasters (1 Viewer)

finished playing the mono box earlier with Mono Masters.

a sublime set. Great attention to detail and super sounding discs.

Sgt Pepper in mono is deadly.

My wife surprised me with the stereo box yesterday so I've just blasted Abbey Road and concur with Flux's comments.
Next up: Beatles For Sale.

A Beatles topic for people who prefer some or all of the 1987 CDs to the 2009 remasters

i got the white album a week or so ago, it sounds great but remains patchy in terms of song quality.

Is this going a bit too far away from what The Beatles were or has that point been passed long ago?

Apple and EMI To Release Limited Edition Stereo USB


Following the 9.9.09 debut of the digitally re-mastered catalogue on CD, Apple Corps and EMI Music are pleased to announce the worldwide release of a limited edition of only 30,000 Beatles Stereo USB apples on December 7 (December 8 in North America).

I can't copy the picture, but it looks pretty cool.

£200 for it (About £14 per album). At least they're selling them as Flacs but nice artifact aside that's still wayyyyy to much to be charging for digital files but at least they've got the4 format right.

Thanks.

Yup ...

from http://www.digitalstores.co.uk/beatles/productdetail.jsp?productPK=unittest-oKX1JtoPqGy2rgEyqN3IEb-1

A specially designed Flash interface has been installed, and the 16MB USB's audio and visual contents will be provided in FLAC 44.1 Khz 24 bit and MP3 320 Kbps formats, fully compatible with PC and Mac.

I'm sure there's a typo there and they mean 16GB. 24 bit FLAC is actually a higher bitrate than CD isn't it (16 bit)?

Glad the finally got around to sorting out the original dreadfully mixed beatles albums. We wont have to listen to anymore legions of people complaing about the shitty quality of beatles albums. I really think this band could have been huge if they had just bothered to get their albums mastered properly!

hey nnggglllbth.... and others..

me and a mate sometimes discuss what the 'next beatles album' would have been like: it involves grabbing say the 3-4 most beatlesesque songs from each of their solo albums in the year after the beatles broke up and firing it onto a compilation. does anyone know these albums well enough to choose a few from each, i think the idea is interesting but wouldn't know the albums well enough to choose tracks.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

heard that concept before but never thought about it. I'll have a look and see what I'd pick. Watch this space.

just as well Lennon's Sometime In New York City wasn't his first solo album. Otherwise it would dwarf the competition.

 

[Flux]

The cds are all €11.99 each in HMV at the moment, 'cept for the White Album which is €19.99. They won't get much cheaper than that.

 

[ann post]

yes they will.

 

[Flux]

€11.99 is a fair enough price. It's the Beatles we're talking about here.
