Beatles Remastered Buy

Tags: beatles remastered box set, beatles remastered buy, beatles remastered release

It seems everyone’s sold out of the Beatles Remastered Box Set. And if you go to one of the large chains you’ll pay extra $$$. I went to Best Buy, Frys, Walmart, Target, etc… and then ran into a wall because I couldn’t think of another store that sold music. If you’re interested in their Rockband game, it’s in stock at all the locations. If you want to buy the box set, I’d use Amazon, roughly $30 cheaper than all the above.

The Beatles Remastered Box Set from NPR – Mono Or Stereo:

There will be two box sets — a stereo set and a limited-edition mono set that contains everything from 1963′s Please Please Me through The White Album (The Beatles), the last Beatles record mixed in mono. It’ll also include a CD full of mono mixes of the band’s singles.

So why mono? Why, in this day and age, would anyone want to hear The Beatles in one-channel sound?

According to Beatles historian Kevin Howlett, George Martin and The Beatles put the most care into the mono mixes. He also notes a number of differences between the stereo and mono mixes. For example, the mono version of “She’s Leaving Home” has a major change in pitch. John Lennon’s voice on the mono version of “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” has a lot of flange effect on it.
