The original versions is normally being only referred to as the red and the blue Beatles albums. They were released well in time before Christmas 1973 if I am not wrong and became huge bestsellers. Both then and in the following decades. They are still selling well on CD and rightly so. When it comes to band compilation albums; both the red and the blue album goes straight into the best top five albums of all time.

The rest of the Beatles catalogue were remastered two years ago and the time has finally come to both the red and the blue album. And rightly so !

The remasters is a marked improvements of the original CDs. The remasters also comes as one album on four CDs. That too is doing The Beatles justice. You need both the red and the blue album in my view.

I copy over what I wrote about the blue album which by far is the best two CDs here: All good homes should have a copy of The Beatles 1962-1970 because The Beatles was and still is such a massive important part of the popular culture. These four CDs is our culture and our heritage. That is why I think the McCartney/Lennon songs/copyrights should be owned by the United Nations/UNICEF and not by Michael Jackson's estate.

In short; this is us on four CDs, remastered.
