Beatles Remasters

[ledfloyd]

these have started to surface, and i've scooped a few up. i ABed the new stereo remaster of abbey road with the CD version i own. the difference is unreal. it's almost like hearing it again for the first time.

here's a pretty good review and comparison of the different mixes (http://www.tonepublications.com/music/beatles-box-in-stereo-and-mono/)

I missed the chance to pre-order the stereo box set on Amazon but I signed up to be immediately notified when more become available. They took the price down. Anyone know what it was?

i think it lists for ~210, but i'm not sure what amazon was selling it at.

i'm really excited to hear the mono mixes of the early albums. i don't like the way some of the stereo mixes are with vocals only in one ear. still, the stereo remaster of revolver sounds alot better than the current CD.

I preordered it from amazon, the price is/was $179.

You know, I didn't think it was possible to make Revolver sound better... and it turns out it isn't. It just sounds different.

i don't agree. the mix is the same. the bass is deeper the highs are crisper and everything is clearer. it's not as muddled as the 87 master was.
