The Beatles Remastered

[UberBeaver]

two words my friend:

wedding registry...

who needs silverware when you can get the Beatles remastered

.....the woman?

I'm still waiting for my goddamn R2D2 phone.

Not just iTunes, though. Hopefully iTunes Plus.

However, it would be shameful if there wasn't also an actual physical CD box set.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

exactly... I was this close to talking my wife into registering at Best Buy

 

[phanan]

I hope they release it all in a box set like the current one...

Please Please Me
With The Beatles
A Hard Day's Night
Beatles For Sale
Help!
Rubber Soul
Revolver
Sgt. Pepper
Magical Mystery Tour
The White Album
Abbey Road
Let It Be
Past Masters 1
Past Masters 2
Yellow Submarine

I could see this happening. A special box set, or available separately.

No, no--I agree. I'd be getting a physical box set if available.

You'd have won a major battle for MEN. We'd all be in better wedding registry situations if we could all tell out brides-to-be "Elfa's wife let him register at Best Buy... so why cant I?" (in our best Veruca Salt voices)

It was worth buying Love for the remastering alone. By that very same token, for me, it will be worth it to buy every Beatles disc all over again. Besides, I have plenty of friends and family members who love the Beatles that I can pass the old copies on to.

Me too.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

the old re-gift eh?

I wasn't planning to pass it off as a gift...but hey, ribbons are cheap.

There is already a 16-disc box set containing the whole list I posted before(the standard masters from 87 or 88 or whatever it was that we've all been listening to since then) that was released a decade ago, so I don't see why they wouldn't do it again.

Amazon.com: The Beatles, CD box set with wood case: The Beatles: Music

I don't know why it says 'Japanese' box set. Nor do I know why the tracklisting they have is so screwed up. My older brother was given that box for Christmas by our parents six years ago(it did not cost the near $700 amazon has it priced at now either) and it was exactly that box, the full UK discography as we know it.

Because that's the Japanese import. Hence the huge price tag. I believe the UK edition is out of print now.

I really hope they get remastered

I don't own a single Beatles album on cd

Then you are lucky. Hold out for it.

It's definitely in the works. It's been reported for a while now. Just a matter of time.

Yeah I hope so and they're too expensive on cd at the moment for some insane reason...my dad has all the albums on cassette tape though; I steal them sometimes

Except Abbey Road; he does not have Abbey Road what the hell is with that?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

cassetes? damn and I thought my dad was out of touch

 

[U2isthebest]

Don't they have record stores in "Just Waiting for the Shine to Wear off"? Where is that anyway, Arkansas?

It's in Chris Martin's head.

 

[Irishteen]

cassetes? damn and I thought my dad was out of touch

Oh he buys CDs, he just has all (except Abbey Road) of the Beatles albums on cassette and never bought the cds

 

[Zoots]

cassettes

lol. Only for nostalgia sake though. CDs are so much better!

 

[Irishteen]

I don't think there's a single place in the world you can buy a cassette any more

 

[Screwtape2]

When they released the anthology albums we're they at all remastered?

 

[phanan]

When they released the anthology albums we're they at all remastered?

At that time, yes.

Well, we shouldn't say "remastered", because those songs hadn't been released before. But they were certainly mastered for release, yes.

 

[Screwtape2]

At that time, yes.

If a remaster could help, I'd love to buy those.

 

[Zoots]

I wouldn't be too sure about that. I'm sure there are still places that sell cassettes as the cheaper alternative to CDs. That was the case in India in the 90's. I don't know about right now. Here in the US, you might as well buy a CD for practically the same price and a lot better quality.

Well I haven't seen a cassette in a shop in years

it's all about vinyl these days, it's the fastest growing format I hear it'll replace MP3s!

 

[phanan]

I don't believe they are part of the new remasters, though.

They don't sound too bad anyway, seeing as they have only been out about 12 years.

Back to vinyl??? Surely it's only for nostalgia sake and is not gonna replace mp3's/iPods!?

 

[Screwtape2]

Yeah I know that aren't part of the new remasters which seems like a shame unless of course there wouldn't be much change in quality. Which is probably the case.

I hope you can buy the albums by themselves. I'd only want Sgt. Peppers, Magical Mystery Tour and The White Album. Maybe Revolver.

 

[phanan]

They'll definitely be available separately. That would be marketing suicide.
