The New Beatles Box Sets Are A "Must Buy" For All Serious 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 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.
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.
These new Beatles stereo CDs will be the new "standard" for The Beatles albums. So you don't want to be the one Beatles fan who is "left out" because you've not heard the albums as everyone else has. And of course these new CDs will sound much better than the old ones anyway, so you should want them for that reason. - 23806
