The Beatles Remastered in 2009

By Harold Laurence Quesenberry

The Beatles studio albums were originally digitally remastered for compact disc in the late 1980s at that time digital mastering for CD was still a relatively new art and since that time plenty has been found out about how to remaster best but most important is the incredible rate in technological advance over the past 20 years.

All of the movements forward in technology and all of the information learned on how to best remaster digitally have been put to very good use with the Beatles remasters of 2009. On September 9, 2009 The Beatles released both The Beatles in Stereo and The Beatles Mono Box Set. And both box sets sound really great. If you have not yet heard them then I recommend that you hear The Beatles remastered as soon as possible.

Which kind of Beatles remastered should a Beatles fan get? Well for this guy the answer was simple: "both of them" but if you can only choose one you will probably go with the Beatles in Stereo since it includes all of their UK studio albums and most listeners do like the stereo mixes more than the mono mixes.

The Beatles Mono Box Set is more for really serious Beatles fanatics who want to hear all of the differences between the stereo & mono mixes (and in some cases they are quite different from each other) and for fans who want to listen to the band how they originally listened to them (this, of course, applies to the original fans who were there for The Beatles in person in the 1960s.)

On December 8th there will be a 3rd choice: The Beatles USB. This USB memory stick includes the Beatles entire stereo remastered box set in a little stick that fits in the palm of my hand. Isn't that cool? It contains all of their CDs in two formats; better than CD quality 24bit FLAC and 320kbps mp3s.

It's the "better than CD quality" bit is what will bring in a good number of audiophiles but for most listeners it is the 320kbps mp3s that'll be most interesting. - 23815

The Blu-ray Blitz

By Myer Thompson

It was a good fight -- a hard one, but one I eventually lost. I fought against the CD tooth and nail. I despised it, I detested it, and I reviled it. I loved my cassette collection. It took me years of careful, plotting calculation to build it up to 450 beautifully clunky cassettes. I had world music, classic rock, shoe-gaze, traditional folk, heavy metal, even some Goth. It was a thing of beauty. And it didn't survive.

You can resist at first. The push towards any new technology can be resisted at first. You still have your cassette layer in your car and at home, there's no need to jump on an expensive bandwagon. But the insidious nature of technology is that everything gets phased out. Mind you, phase is the operative word. It's a slow, nefarious process.

Guess what no longer came standard when I bought my new car. Yeah, you guessed it and no, it wasn't the power steering. A CD player replaced the cassette player. When my jam box went on the fritz, the only thing on the market was a cassette/CD player. Once they can get the new technology into your home, living side-by-side with the old stuff, they've got you.

Then, you wake up one morning and wonder. You begin to wonder why you're still using the cassette player. It's clunky and pops and no two sides ever have the same amount of music on them. You begin to see all the arguments against the old technology do, in fact, hold water. Yeah, cassettes do suck. The CD can give me the closest approximation to what the artist initially intended. They're even better than LPs because they can be played through without flipping the wax over.

So, the same goes with the new Blu-ray blitz. So what that the Blu-ray is designed to play back in HD quality? So what that it can hold five times as much information as a regular DVD? So what that its better? So you can see the slippery slope you're now on. Sooner or later, the Blu-ray will be the de facto format. Until they develop the holographic disc. - 23815

If you're having a hard time coming to terms with the Blu-ray bonanza at play these days, treat yourself to a Disney Blu-ray movie first. They're got the most bells and whistles and may well make the transition a smooth one.
