Beatles Remastered Box Sets and USB

By Harold H. Quesenberry

It's hard to believe in many ways, but this year has been really huge for the classic'60s band The Beatles OK, and MJ had a big year too This year was so big because after years of waiting The Beatles music was finally remastered and released on CD.

The Beatles in Stereo Box Set

This box set has been the most popular Beatles release of 2009. It's been an enormous unit shifter and for a very good reason. It includes their entire '60s catalog in high quality digitally remastered stereo. These remastered Beatles songs sound absolutely brilliant (these discs are definitely far superior to the 1980s Beatles discs you probably own at the moment.)

The really big improvement compared to the old discs are heard in the way Paul McCartney's bass cuts through the mix more so than ever before and Ringo's drums sound much better too. It's also great to be able to hear each individual vocal part more clearly which we can do with these new remasters.

The Beatles Mono CD Box Set

The release that has created the most excitement of serious Beatles fans is the mono box because it's the first time in decades that The Beatles mono mixes have been available to purchase new in any format.

Purist Beatles fans believe that the mono mixes are the way their music was supposed to be enjoyed and these "mono purists" have a good reason for believing that. Mono was what most Beatles fans listened to in the '60s and it was the mono mixes that the band and it's producers spent the most time perfecting. In comparison the stereo mixes were little more than an afterthought.

The Beatles Remastered USB Memory Stick

This USB memory stick is basically a digital version of the remastered stereo box set. It includes both high quality mp3 files and audiophile "better than CD" 24bit FLAC files. Along with the audio files, this USB memory stick also contains the visual parts of the box set such as the thirteen mini documentaries, the extended liner notes for each album, and the previously unpublished photos.

This Apple themed USB memory stick is compatible with both PC and Mac computers. The mp3s that it contains should work with no problems with your mp3 player (whether it be a Zune, an iPod, or a lesser known player.) - 18423
