The Remastered Beatles CDs Are A "Must Buy" For All Real 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.
The most important thing to note is that the new remastered Beatles CDs that are included in these new mono & stereo box sets are not like the Beatles CDs you own now.
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.
The reason for this is that in the '60s nearly everyone listened to their albums in mono so it made no sense for The Beatles to worry much about the stereo mix. On the other hand the mono mix was slaved over until it was perfect.
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 I think that pretty much explains why the mono box set is such a "must buy" for all serious Beatles fans, but what about the stereo CDs? Why should Beatles fans buy The Beatles albums on CD again? Quite simply, these new CDs are in newly remastered stereo.
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. - 23815
