The New Beatles Box Sets Are A "Must Buy" For All Serious Beatles Fans
If you already own all of The Beatles albums on CD (like I do) then I can understand thinking that it's unnecessary to buy them all again just because they have been remastered.
But you should really note that these new Beatles CDs are not really like the Beatles CDs you own now. They have been remastered for superior sound unlike anything that's been heard before.
The difference between the 1987 CDs (1987 is when The Beatles music was first released on CD) and the CDs included in The new Beatles Mono Box Set is obvious. This is the first time that the original mono mixes of The Beatles albums are on CD.
These mono mixes should be of great interest to any real Beatles fan because these are the mixes that The Beatles originally intended for their fans to hear back in the 1960s.
Why? Because for most of the 1960s mono was the standard and stereo was considered by many to just be a new passing fad. I know that's hard for us to believe today, but it's true. Because of that, The Beatles spent much more time working on the mono mixes than they did on the stereo mixes.
The Beatles thought of the mono mixes as the "final versions" of their albums and many have claimed that the mono mixes are actually far superior sounding to the stereo mixes that most Beatles fans are now familiar with (because up until now the stereo mixes have been the only ones available on CD.)
So that explains the importance of the mono box set, but what about the stereo box set? Don't we already have The Beatles albums in stereo on CD? Yes we do, but these are newly remastered.
What does that mean? It means that these CDs should sound significantly better than the ones we've had over the last 22 years. They will be louder and there will be more details heard in the music. These remastered stereo CDs will be the new standard for The Beatles albums, so you don't want to be one of The Beatles fans who is "left out" because they haven't heard these new versions. - 18423
