Some people think that vinyl is the most ultimate way to listen to an album. There’s some kind of magic to watching the black circle rotate and knowing that the wonderful sound you are listening to is coming from a needle instead of a bunch of ones and zeroes like with CDs.
It’s this “magic feeling” (to quote The Beatles) that has Beatles fiends extremely excited about the rumors of The Beatles remasters (which have sold extremely well on CD) making their way onto vinyl in in March of 2010. continue reading »
Quite a few music lovers strongly believe that vinyl records are the most ultimate way to enjoy an album. They believe that there is just a certain magic to seeing the “black circle” (to quote Pearl Jam) spin and knowing that the sound you are hearing is coming from a needle in the record’s groove.
It’s this “magic feeling” (to quote “You Never Give Me Your Money” that has people extremely excited about the possibility of The Beatles remasters (which have sold extremely well on CD) making their way to vinyl records in in March of 2010. continue reading »
The Beatles in Stereo Box Set
The Beatles second UK LP (With The Beatles) is definitely not not the best Beatles studio album, in fact it is probably their worst non Yellow Submarine album. But that is not to say I don’t enjoy hearing this early classic in it’s new glorious remastered form nor is it to say that it does not have any fine tunes on it because that is definitely not the case.
But I do think that when looking at only the eight original songs on the album, it is likely the worst selection of originals the lads from liverpool ever released on an album (the underrated Beatles For Sale has a much better selection of eight originals in my opinion) on the other hand, the covers on this album are good (better than the covers on Beatles For Sale, which was their fourth album.)
My most favorite Beatles originals to listen to on the With The Beatles Remastered CDs are the first three songs. continue reading »

All of the forward movements in digital mastering and all of the know how learned of how to most effectively remaster original analog tapes digitally have been put to very good use with the Beatles remasters of 2009. On September 9 The Beatles released both The Beatles in Stereo and The Beatles in Mono. continue reading »
The Beatles are one of the few bands who have never made their music available to be bought as mp3 downloads on AmazonMP3 or iTunes. In fact, at this point I don’t know if there are any other major bands who have not done so. When it was announced that The Beatles were finally releasing their music digitally on December 8 of 2009 most fans just guessed that it meant that their music was going to be available but that’s not the case, instead they have gone another way: The Beatles USB Flash Drive. continue reading »
