The Remastered Beatles CDs Are A “Must Buy” For All Real 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.
But you should really note that these new Beatles CDs are not really like the Beatles CDs you own now. They have been remastered for superior sound unlike anything that’s been heard before.
The most obvious difference between the CDs you own now and the new remastered CDs can be heard in The Beatles Mono Box Set which includes The Beatles albums in their original mono for the first time on CD.
These mono mixes should be of great interest to any real Beatles fan because these are the mixes that The Beatles originally intended for their fans to hear back in the 1960s.
Why is that? In the 1960s almost everyone listened to their LPs on a mono playback system so stereo was mostly ignored and most of the time and energy of The Beatles and their production team was spent on perfecting the mono mixes of their awesome albums.
In the ’60s the mono mixes were definitely considered to be the “real version” of The Beatles albums. And even since the stereo mixes have moved to prominence there have been many who have claimed that the mono mixes sound better.
So that explains why the mono box set is a must buy for all Beatles fans, but what about the stereo box set? There’s nothing new about The Beatles albums being in stereo on CD, so why should we buy that? Well, this is 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.
