All Beatles Fans Need To Buy The Remastered Beatles CDs
If you’re like me then you already own every Beatles album on CD. And if that’s the case it’s likely that you may be thinking to yourself “Why should I buy all of The Beatles albums again just because they’re being re-released on CD?”
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 ones you own now and the CDs in the mono box set is quite obvious! The Beatles albums including as a part of the mono box set are in their original mono mixes which have never been included on CD before.
These mono mixes are the way The Beatles originally intended their music to be heard when they recorded their music 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.
That means that these new stereo CDs sound much better than the CDs first released in 1987. They will allow listeners to hear new details in The Beatles music that have been hidden for many years!
