It's Official! The Beatles Remasters Thread (Pt. 01) *

It looks like someone should have looked through the rest (albeit very long) thread before making such statements

 

Wonder what the Beatles mono box looks like ?

 

Unbelievable! It gave me goosebumps, especially when I read about the mono CDs.

 

So do I. I haven't felt this kind of excitement since "The White Album" was released way back in Nov. '68.

 

I wouldn't mind the boxes being roll top. I have the LP and CD roll top boxes. The new CDs in matching roll top boxes would look nice in my collection next to them.

 

Interesting that they are relasing this on a Wed. instead of a Tuesday or Friday. In the U.S. all new relases come out on Tues. In The U.K. they come out on Friday... right?

 

One thing is for sure: Apple has heard(and read)about what people want. They are giving us what we want. Officially released stereo and mono mixes of every Beatles album. There is some justice in this world after all.

In The words of Ron Nasty - 'Its Looking Good, Its Looking Good, Its Looking Good...Its Looking Goooood"

 

I'll keep my West German and Japanese first pressings, only because I'm a collector

 

Screw that, I wanna hear what it SOUNDS LIKE!!!

 

Me too. Fantastic feeling

 

9/9/09 is a Wednesday.

So they are definately going for the 9 9 9 thing. Must be one worldwide date.

 

Uh-oh...

Surely this is a sign of the coming apocalypse.

 

Plus no used cd shop will give you more than 3 bucks or so for them anyway. might as well just keep em.

 

The only 87 cd's that were really BAD were the first four. I am looking forward to the improvements on the new ones. It will be interesting to see if they outshine Dr Ebbets versions.

Hey Apple, how about a complete U.S. & U.K. Singles compilation?

 

Past midnight here in Sydney, by the time I wake up part 2 of this thread should be well under way.

 

You think Ebbets has a chance of sounding better than these?
Have you not heard LOVE?

Come on guys!

Well, gang, it's official...Hell has frozen over, so once again, WELCOME TO PEPPERLAND!!!

 

UK music and video releases usually appear on a Monday, although some major releases have been known to appear on other weekdays.

Video game releases are oddly scheduled for Fridays.

 

I love how it says on the site:

Yeah, right

 

This makes all the other new releases like Dylan, Elvis Costello, etc almost meaningless.

 

I actually didnt care for Love. I hope these are more "authentic" sounding.

 

If you search on the domestic Amazon page, you'll find two scheduled 2010 SINGLE releases: Help!/I'm Down, and Something/Come Together.
Seems maybe the core catalogue won't be all we get.

 

Seeing it on Amazon.uk and HMV was very convincing, but I had, like many of us probably did, that little bit of doubt.

Then seeing it on thebeatles.com.....

I think I'm going to back to bed, get back up, and see if it is all a dream.
