 Topic: Beatles fans What will you doPosted: April 10 2009 at 22:24 |

Let's face the sad facts: for those of us who purchased our first Beatles singles in 1964, they (whoever they is) have been milking us now for, uh, 45 years. Yep got the LP's. Yep got the EMI CD's. Yep got the Capitol CD's. We ain't about to stop now

It would be great to hear A Hard Day's Night in stereo, wich is the greatest of their earlier albums. I love Can't buy me love and Hard day's night stereo mixes on One, they sound fuller and the sound is clearer wich let you appreciate them more in detail.

Automatic buy, except for the early ones, which I MAY get since they're going to be in stereo.

^I might reconsider if the proceeds were going for the benefit of Mr. Kite.
I'm going to hold out for the next round, which you know will inevitably have Steven Wilson surround sound remixed versions.  Particularly looking forward to the surround sound remixes of the mono original mixes. Edited by Slartibartfast - April 09 2009 at 07:38 |

I'll see how much the stereo boxset is, that will be the deciding factor |

 I have it sussed out. This is the plan. I have 3 adult children and the release date is just around Fathers Day I think they should get me the stereo set while I get the mono myself because I have to admit myself ,Abbey Road in Mono ,I dunno ............anyway still a few months to go to drop suttle hints

I've been waiting for these remasters for years. The ones from the 80's sound really bad and a band like The Beatles deserve to sound a lot better than that to fully apreciate their music. The only thing is that this boxset will be really expensive, at least in my country :( but I'm definitely thinking of getting it.
It's not clear if the stereo albums have been remixed or only remastered. I hope they remixed all of the albums previous to the White album cos the stereo versions sounded a bit empty and a lot of effects were missing especially in Revolver and Sgt Pepper's, cos all those albums were mixed in mono in the original versions.

certain things are sped up faster, also on the Sgt. Peppere record certain sound effects are completely absent.

Well, apart from the obvious there are slight differences in some songs, such as the fiddle playing in "Dont pass me by". Also some tracks are speeded up and slowed down (possibly She's Leaving Home). It's all a bit anal to be honest but check out The Beatles Anomalies if you're really interested. |

I have no idea what the differences between the stereo and mono mixes would be but I'm definitely shelling out the dough. I burned copies off of my friend's Beatles CDs a long time ago because his mom is English so she had all the proper versions of the albums, so now I have an excuse to buy my own copies.

I will start by getting Revolver and see what they've done to it. If it's a significant improvement I will also get Sgt Pepper, The Beatles, Magical Mystery Tour and Abbey Road.
Interesting to hear about the mono releases. I would generally avoid these as I love the stereo separation on the Beatles records but most Beatles albums were originally mixed in mono. There are differences in some of the mono mixes, particularly on Sgt Pepper and The Beatles.

We have been waiting for these remasters for years, some members of the press have given very positive reviews for sound quality, the remastering project has been ongiong for the last 4 years, they are already being listed on Amazon for pre-order.

I'm looking forward to these. I'll probably buy a couple, say Rubber Soul and Revolver, to see if they are that much better than the current ones, at which point I will either shell out for the works or just let it be. |
