Jay52 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Finally, thanks Craig. It will put the original cd's (with their original 1987 mixes) out to pasture. Chris, its going to be great and it should have been done years ago. I'm excited!Here come The Beatles...again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sllvnbil Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'd rather see them continue with the Capitol releases like Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Harlock Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Incidentally this is the same day that The Beatles Rock Band hits stores. As for the Capitol releases, I like the UK versions a lot more. I know a lot of people have fond memories of buying Meet The Beatles, but the UK releases are actually better and more coherent if that makes sense.

Jay52 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 All I know is that the improved sound is going to make the listening alot more enjoyable.Recently, I read a short preview/review of the "White Album" in Mojo Magazine and they raved...so I'm hoping for the best.

MAM Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 As much as I love the Beatles, I'm not shelling out anymore money for another series of the same music that I already have 5 versions of. I'm not thinking any of them or their estates actually need the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT particular Beatles album (though, they basically weren't acting as a "group" anymore, during the recording of the White Album!), I'll be first in line for ~ one of my all-time faves! I hope these re-masters are top notch ~ I'll pick and choose, lol, as I don't need yet a third or fourth, copy of another Beatles album (however, am a HUGE fan!!)~ that being said, can't WAIT!!

Raspbernie Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Is anybody still using those little plastic thingies that are silver on one side and contain music? Just wondering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I'm still trying to get used to hearing "Drive My Car" as the 1st song on Rubber Soul when I am so used to hearing "I've Just Seen A Face" as the first song. I can't get used to hearing "I've Just Seen A Face" on the Help British release. Does anybody else feel this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get used to hearing "I've Just Seen A Face" on the Help British release. Does anybody else feel this way? Yeah, that still messes me up too. I wore out 2 copies of Rubber Soul in the sixties, and the song order and selection on the Capitol releases (although technically wrong by what the Beatles/Martin actually wanted) was burned into my brain forever. Actually every album up to Sgt. Pepper messes me up. It's just not the way my brain remembers it to be. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refuse to succumb to Steve Jobs digital distribution propaganda. When I met Lewis Black this past year it suddenly hit me, you can't get an MP3 autographed!

Billy K. Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Despite the fact that you can load up tons of songs in a little bit of space, the one thing wrong with I-pods is that MP3s don't sound nearly as good as a CD.....OK, call me a snob!!Oh, yes, and I HATE earbuds.....They are not comfortable----phones or speakers only for me!!

Guest Fresh Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Billy is right...MP3's have poor fidelity.Just try plugging your ipod into a really high-end HiFi system and play it back through the speakers.The sound is akin to an unscratched 45rpm..very flat,no depth or presence.My kids didn't realize the difference until I educated them.However,most young people don't really give a hoot about the sound quality.Times have indeed changed.When I was in my teens I built my stereo system from kits,the speakers from scratch.Strong bass notes would literally blow out a match held up in front of the grill cloth.

Billy K. Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Shouldn't the original version of "One After 909" be part of these re-releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
