CD Box Sets & New Beatles Rock Band Game: 9/9/9 Is Beatles Day
On 9/9/9 new remastered mixes for each of the 13 original UK studio albums that The Beatles recorded in the 1960s will be coming out.
The Beatles first released their albums on CD in the 1980s and at that time CD technology was still quite new. The mastering done for those CD is considered to be of inferior quality, which is why Beatles fans have been impatiently waiting for these new remastered CDs.
The remastered CDs are not the only Beatles stuff coming out on 9/9/9, there's also the original mono mixes of their albums through 1968's The White Album being released on CD.
This is the first time that the original mono mixes of The Beatles albums are going to be available on CD.
Mono was being phased out way back in the 1960s, so why should we listen to mono mixes in 2009? This is an understandable view but if you think of these mixes as being the originally intended mixes, it's interesting to hear them.
Mono was the standard at the time and because of that The Beatles spent a lot more time on the mono mixes than they did on the stereo mixes. In fact the stereo mixes were thrown together rather hastily in comparison.
Because so much more time was spent on the mono versions, it makes sense to consider the mono mixes to be the "real" versions of the albums. But it's not just a matter of original intention. It's also a matter of quality. Some claim that the mono mixes of albums such as Revolver & Sgt. Pepper are actually far superior to the stereo mixes.
The new Beatles Rock Band game also comes out on 9/9/9. I'm not a huge video game guy but I do love the Rock Band games, they are fun. And the Beatles game should really take it to the next level.
The graphics and game play look really awesome from the previews I've seen. Even if you're not a big video game person, I'd give the Beatles Rock Band a try if you're a fan of the band. It promises to be great fun. - 23806
