The Beatles Stereo CD Box Set Review
Lots of Beatles fans own all of The Beatles albums on CD already and are probably thinking long and hard over whether or not it's really worth buying all of their albums on CD again because they've been remastered and repackaged.
The appeal of The Beatles Mono Box Set is easier to understand. This is the first time these mono mixes have ever been released on CD and in the case of mono version of The White Album, it's the first time it has ever released in the US in any format.
Sound quality is the key with The Beatles in Stereo set. While the mixes aren't new, sometimes they sound so much more clear that they might as well be.
To describe the difference in clarity between these new stereo Beatles CDs and the old ones I've read the example of going from DVD to Blu-Ray on a movie. You don't really know how much better it can look until you see the high definition version. It's sort of like that when you hear these remastered CDs for the first time.
But with music I think sound clarity is even more important than video clarity is to a movie. Why? Because with a movie you can still follow the plot and know what's going on just the same whether or not it's perfectly clear or not. But with music, the added clarity can actually allow you to hear parts in the music that you may have missed when it wasn't as clear.
With these remastered stereo Beatles recordings I am hearing things in the music I never heard before.
They worked on these getting these remasters just perfect for years and all of that work has definitely paid off because they managed to do something which is very difficult which is to keep the original analog sound of the tapes while also improving upon the clarity of the music.
The sound of the bass and the drums are the biggest improvements with these remastered stereo CDs but they are not the only improvements. Everything really sounds clearer including the vocals. Never before have I been able to hear every voice in the harmonies so clearly before.
There were a lot of potential mistakes that they could have made when doing these remasters. They could have taken part in the "loudness wars." They could have taken out all of the analog ambiance that helps give the music it's "life." They managed to avoid all of the mistakes and really do The Beatles music justice. They've never sounded better before. - 18780
