Remastered Beatles Box Sets & USB

By Harold H. Quesenberry

It's difficult to imagine in many ways, but this year has definitely been enormous for the legendary rock band The Beatles OK, and MJ had a big year too 2009 was the year Beatles fans have been waiting for because it was the year that the remastered versions of their albums finally came out on CD and digitally.

The Beatles in Stereo Box Set

The most popular Beatles release of the year has been The Beatles in Stereo Box Set. It's been a huge seller and for good reason. It includes the band's entire '62-'70 catalog in high quality digitally remastered stereo. It sounds absolutely spectacular (these discs are definitely far better than the 1987 mastered Beatles discs you likely own at the moment.)

The biggest improvements in comparison to the old CDs are heard in the way McCartney's bass guitar blasts through the mix more so than ever before and Ringo's drums sound far better than they used to as well. It's also great to be able to hear each individual vocal part more clearly which we can do with these new remasters.

The Remastered Beatles in Mono CD Box Set

The release that has created the most excitement of really big Beatles fans is The Beatles in Mono Box Set because it represents the very first time that the original mono mixes of their music have been available on CD.

Some "purist" Beatles fans feel strongly that these mono mixes are really the way their music was supposed to be listened to 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. It really wasn't until around'68 that The Beatles started to take their stereo mixes seriously.

Beatles Remastered Stereo USB Memory Stick

This Beatles USB is basically a digital version of the stereo box set. Along with the more well known mp3 files, it also includes super high quality 24bit FLAC files. Along with the obvious audio component, this Apple USB stick also includes all of the visual elements from the stereo box set such as the 13 album documentaries, the extensive liner notes for each album, and the unpublished photographs.

The USB stick is compatible with both Mac and Windows computers. The mp3s that it contains should work with no hiccups with any mp3 player (whether it be an iPod, a Zune, or a generic brand.) - 18418
