The Beatles In Stereo - Review Of The Remastered Stereo Beatles CD Box Set
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."
It's a lot easier to understand why you should want to buy The Beatles in Mono box set. That set includes all of The Beatles songs in their original mono mixes on CD for the very first time. It even includes four mono mixes that have never been released in any format (not even LP) ever before.
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 comparison that should help you understand the improvement in sound quality with these remastered CDs is the comparison from VHS to DVD and then from DVD to Blu-Ray. To my ears, this difference is at least as big of a jump as VHS to Blu-Ray is a jump in video quality.
But to me I think the difference is even more than that of jumping up to Blu-Ray video because with music the increased clarity allows me to hear parts of the music that I never heard before.
Hearing these newly remastered Beatles CDs is like hearing them for the first time. Yes, the improvements in warmth & clarity are that big!
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.
Paul's bass (and he wrote a lot of awesome bass parts with The Beatles) and Ringo's drums are probably the biggest winners in these new remastered versions because the bass and the drums really cut through these songs like never 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. - 23815
