Beatles Remasters On Vinyl: Please Post News Here

EXACTLY...and I have to ask Spyder how accurate IS this information? Can he trust his source?

You know, I was excited about this two years ago and then once I heard all of the "minor adjustments" in the stereo set I got a little discouraged. Now, I have to say I am a little indifferent to the whole thing. The fact that the mono box set is mentioned DOES bring me some hope, but I think I still want to focus on completing my original UK pressing collection (only a handful of pressings to go before I have covered most of the earlier tube cuts). Is anyone else feeling the same way, or is everyone REALLY gung ho about this?

 

Don't get too excited, fellas.

The Mono will be limited to 10,000 copies World-wide so you'd better line up the night before to get one.

 

Please master it in the UK BUT send it to Japan for production. This way we can get accurate reproductions of the original covers.

 

You'r never going to get dead accurate repros of original covers especialy the original Clarifoil lamination were applicable. The mono box is the most interesting and is likely to be less futzed with as per the CD issue. Later individual albums in Stereo are welcome as long as they are from high resolution files.

 

I think you missed out several zeros

 

This is great news. Finally I can upgrade my groove burnt mono Capitol Peppers and get my hands on a mono White Album. Seems the box set is the only way to get them though.

 

Why are the boxes listed here, I dont quite get the listing???
Someone help me understand..

 

It looks like a listing of all registered individual products, which would include the box sets. Also includes the Red and Blue albums for no explainable reason.

 

Ok, thanks for the clear up. Hehe, might have to save buck or couple if wanna get both boxes..

 

They like all the vinyl catalogue EXCEPT Abbey Road (1995) are out of print currently.
A bit crazy given the increased interest in vinyl, eh?

 

Laminated with "Clarifoil" is a Decca feature!

 

I'm still saving up for The Rolling Stones boxset

 

It's actually pretty easily explainable... maybe they're putting Red and Blue out on vinyl, just like they reissued them on remastered CDs.

 

Capitol label on the Magical Mystery Tour LPs?

Parlophone labels on the earlier LPs or will everything have Apples or something else?

 

Here we go again....

 

What is the source of this info? Is it reliable?

 

read the first line in my post

 

So in other words, it is not reliable by its own very terms (e.g., "not official" and "subject to change").

 

Or, for the positive spin, it's as reliable as something that is "not official" and "subject to change" can be...

 

interpret as you wish, but stating "from EMI" I thought was clear

 

Hey, I took it as good news, and I thank you for it.

 

HorZu Labels on MMT!

 

But the phrases "not official" and "subject to change" certainly muddy up the message. So is the information reliable? Using your words from your post, it is not.

 

Oh, I get that. I just think they're incredibly dated compilations, especially on CD. (EMI must love the double-price point for a single disc's worth of music though) I wish they'd have phased those out in the 90's and replaced them with a real, CD-era compilation (something more thorough than '1'). Now that CD's are dead, it's unnecessary. But the kind of people who want vinyl reissues want the original LP's, I can't see any reason for Red and Blue reissues. But...so long as there's a well-done mono box, I'll be happy. Hopefully they'll learn a thing or two from that Dylan one.

 

After a while the used shops will split them out. Assuming anyone sells one.

It was about three months before they started doing that with the CD box here in Berkeley. Now you can't buy a used box set anywhere (still got new ones) but there's always a few individual mono CDs in the bins.
