The Beatles Remastered Stereo CD Box Set Review

By Henry J. Jamison Jr.

Many Beatles fans already own all of their albums on CD and may be wondering if they should really buy their whole catalog on CD again simply because they have been "remastered."

The appeal of The Beatles Mono Box Set is easier to understand. This is the first time these mono mixes have ever been released on CD and in the case of mono version of The White Album, it's the first time it has ever released in the US in any format.

Sound quality is the key with The Beatles in Stereo set. While the mixes aren't new, sometimes they sound so much more clear that they might as well be.

One way to explain this improvement in sound quality to someone who has the old Beatles CDs and doesn't hear anything wrong with them is to compare it to going from DVD to Blu-Ray when watching a movie. DVD is OK, but Blu-Ray looks fantastic! This is the best music of all time, don't you think it deserves to be heard in all of it's true glory?

But with music I think sound clarity is even more important than video clarity is to a movie. Why? Because with a movie you can still follow the plot and know what's going on just the same whether or not it's perfectly clear or not. But with music, the added clarity can actually allow you to hear parts in the music that you may have missed when it wasn't as clear.

With these remastered stereo Beatles recordings I am hearing things in the music I never heard before.

I've read that they worked on these remasters for years to get them just perfect and that work has really paid off because they managed to capture all of the original analog warmth of the original master tapes while also managing to make them more clear so that all of the parts of the music are easier to hear.

The sound of the bass and the drums are the biggest improvements with these remastered stereo CDs but they are not the only improvements. Everything really sounds clearer including the vocals. Never before have I been able to hear every voice in the harmonies so clearly before.

I was worried that they would lose the original ambiance and warmth of the music in an attempt to "modernize" the music. I was also worried that they would take part in the horrible "loudness wars" that are ruining the sound quality of most modern music. It turns out I had nothing to be worried about. These newly remastered stereo mixes sound absolutely fantastic. - 18423

Pink Acoustic Guitars - Ideal for Your Daughter Or Girlfriend

By Nico Davenport

It may come as a shock to you if your soon-to-be teenaged daughter suddenly wants a pink acoustic guitar. Usually it is the boys who want a guitar and not your little darling who was dressing up as a princess not so long ago. You might think about waiting to see if your daughters interest fades or buy a cheaper guitar in case she becomes bored with guitar playing and quits. But before you do this, you really need to consider a few things.

It is a popular idea nowadays for a girl to want to play music and you should encourage this. This can be because of TV shows like Hannah Montana, who is a young girl pop star. There are good things and bad things about a girl wanting to be a star. As parents, you can use the desire your girl has for a pink acoustic guitar and turn it into a viable interest.

Playing guitar can be very beneficial for young women to have a creative outlet that can process their feelings. Unlike years before, the pressures and expectations nowadays on young people, especially young girls are greater. This may be social pressures, body image pressures, likewise early sexual and academic pressures too. The trend with girls, quite often with scary results, is to internalize pain or stress. With their privacy in mind, you can guide them into enjoying creative outlets such as playing a guitar and encouraging them into these types of releasing all forms of their emotions - whether they be bad, good or somewhere in between.

A young girl can write songs about puppy love, breakups and finding new love in the solitude of her own room.If she doesnt want to, it isn't necessary for her to let anyone else know about her guitar songs. But giving her the confidence to perform, even just for your family, can help you learn about the experiences she might be going through that you wouldnt find about in any other way.

There are certain things that need to be taken into consideration when it's time to buy the first guitar for your daughter. First, this isn't the time to pinch pennies. Don't purchase just any old pink acoustic guitar from the dollar store or from the toy section. Even people who have been playing the guitar for awhile have a hard time playing an inexpensive guitar. Your best option is to shop locally at a music store, preferably a store that specializes in guitars.

There are various guitars that are visually appealing to girls. The Daisy Rock is a popular company that specializes guitars designed just for girls. It is with a good reason they call themselves The Girl Guitar Company. They sell a variety of guitars from plain pink acoustic guitars to heart and butterfly shaped guitars.

Rather than making your little girls first guitar a surprise gift, take her to the store with you when you shop for it. Each guitar is a little bit different so each pink acoustic guitar is not made in the same way. By allowing your daughter to choose her own guitar, she will get the one that feels best in her hands and the one that sounds just right to her and it will earn a special place in her heart. - 18423
