The Beatles Remastered in 2009
The Beatles legendary albums were initially remastered digitally for compact disc in the late'80s at that time mastering digitally was a new art and since then plenty has been learned about how to do it more effectively but most important is the incredible rate in technological advance over the past 20 years.
The many movements forward in technology and all of the information learned of how to best make digital masters have been put to good use with the Beatles remasters of 2009. On September 9, 2009 The Beatles released both The Beatles Remastered Stereo Box Set and The Beatles in Mono. And both box sets sound wonderful. If you have not yet heard them then I recommend that you hear The Beatles remastered as soon as possible.
Which kind of remastered Beatles should you purchase? Well for me the answer was simply "both of them" but if you have to choose just one you'll most likely want to go with the Beatles in Stereo since it includes all thirteen of their UK studio albums and most listeners will like the stereo mixes more than the mono mixes.
The Beatles Mono Box Set is more for hardcore Beatles lovers who want to hear all of the differences between the mono and stereo mixes (and in some cases they are really quite different) and for those who want to listen to the Fab Four how they originally heard them (this obviously applies to older fans who were there for The Beatles in person back in the 60s.)
On December 8th there will be a 3rd choice: The Beatles USB Memory Stick. This USB flash drive contains the Beatles entire stereo remastered box set in a little stick that fits in the palm of my hand. Isn't that cool? And it contains all of their CDs in two ways; high quality mp3s and better than CD quality 24bit FLAC.
It's the "better than CD quality" thing is what will bring in the audiophiles but for most listeners it is the 320kbps mp3s that'll be played the most. - 23806
