The Beatles in Stereo Box Set

By David Quincy Jackson

The Beatles Stereo Remastered CD Set was made available on 9/9/9 it instantly became the ultimate standard for The Beatles classic albums.

These remastered stereo mixes sound far superior to the old discs from the 80s. When one compares the remastered CDs to the old CDs it's like the older discs are under a pile of old blankets while the new remastered CDs sound warm and clear so that all of the vocals, guitar parts, bass guitar parts, and drums punch through the mix instead of being muffled.

The Beatles Stereo Remastered CD Set isn't the only box set by The Beatles released in '09 but it is the most popular since it appeals to the widest range of fans. The Remastered Beatles in Mono Box Set is excellent too but it appeals mostly to purists who need to listen to the original mono mixes (because that's how most fans in the'60s heard this music) than to an classic rock fan. Although there are definitely songs that sound better in mono than in stereo (particularly some of the pre Magical Mystery Tour recordings) all things considered I believe the stereo CD box set does sound most fab.

The fab thing about The Beatles Stereo Remastered CD Set is that it allows you to acquire The Beatles complete 1962-70 discography with just one purchase and when one considers the high quality of nearly all of their CDs, it makes the most sense to buy them all at once instead of just picking up some and going back for the rest later.

Beyond the fantastic ground breaking music included in this box set there are also some groovy visual parts, most obviously the DVD with- mini documentaries on it (one for each studio album.) Along with the mini documentary DVD there are extended liner notes for each CD (there is some excellent stuff in there, particularly for fans that are new to The Beatles) and some great unpublished photos.

I'm such a huge Beatles fanatic that I have got (or I plan on purchasing) The Beatles Stereo Box, The Beatles in Mono Box, The Beatles USB Stick, and The Beatles Rock Band Game. But if I had to pick only one of these things, it would be the comprehensive stereo box set because it's the best hear their legendary albums and after all, it's their groundbreaking music that matters most. - 18762
