Post by: Penny Lane on September 09, 2009, 07:49:30 PM
Congrats on making it to the big 09/09/09, Beatle peetles! Which remasters have you purchased at this point? Box set or single CD's? Stereo or mono?

Mono box-set.  I'm going to try to convince my sister and/or parents and/or grandparents to pick up Abbey Road, LIB and Yellow Sub for Christmas or something :)

Rubber Soul and Revolver although Wally World had every single one of the remasters. I went with my two favorite albums although I was tempted to buy the White Album!

Only $20 which is good considering in the past it's been around $30.

I was to buy it in chronological order, starting with "Please, please me", but when I was in Musimundo (records store) I can't resist to buy my favourite: "The Beatles"
Now I'm gonna do a backup and after that, the CDs not will be used.

You don't need YELLOW SUBMARINE LP, as you have all of the Beatles songs on your Mono Masters disc in your box. However, even once you get ABBEY ROAD and LIB, you'll still need Past Masters [Stereo] to have Ballad of John and Yoko, Old Brown Shoe and Let It Be (single version).

Question for you Bobber...  did you open the mono box.  I have it as well and have not opened it yet.  Should I just go ahead and open it or keep it sealed?  (I have the stereo as well and have listened to all of them.)
Title: Re: Which Remastered albums do you own?
Post by: Bobber on September 12, 2009, 02:26:34 PM
Dunno. I opened the box, but haven't opened the separate cd's yet. I'm working my way through the stereo's now. I think I will open the others eventually. If it was for the value, I wouldn't have bought them. I bought the mono's because I wanted to listen to them.
Title: Re: Which Remastered albums do you own?
Post by: Gary910 on September 12, 2009, 03:14:34 PM
I was debated how to store them, and yet still have access to listening to them (both stereo and mono). I pulled all of the CDs out of their cases and put them in jewel cases. Now I do not have to get my grubby greasy hands on them. I am good at taking care of CDs, I have no kids and my wife will not touch them. So I thought this was a good way to take care of them.

Post by: Joost on September 13, 2009, 05:11:33 PM
Because I'm kind of on a tight budget right now I only ordered my two favorites: Abbey Road and Magical Mystery Tour. They should be in on Tuesday.

On a side note: I think it's rediculous that they're charging full price for these albums again. Haven't they made enough on these albums already in the past 47-39 years? I bet that 90% of all the people that buy these remasters have already bought all these albums at least once, it would've been a nice gesture to the loyal fans if they would've made these things midprice.
Title: Re: Which Remastered albums do you own?
Post by: Penny Lane on September 14, 2009, 02:03:16 AM
Joost, I wish they would have combined both the stereo and mono albums into ONE set at a reasonable price. That would have made me very happy.

Several classic albums from the 60s ("Odessey & Oracle", "Pet Sounds" and the self-titled Love album come to mind) have been re-issued with the stereo and mono mixes on one single disc. That's what they should have done.

I think this whole project is a total rip off.

Post by: Joost on September 14, 2009, 12:05:48 PM
On the other hand, PR-wise it certainly has been a great move that people always had to pay full price for the Beatles' music. It kept their music classy and somewhat "exclusive". Being first and foremost a Beach Boys fan I've always been a bit "jealous" of the way the Beatles catalogue has been treated. The Beach Boys' music has been given away for free with newspapers. It's been released on too many crappy budget comps to count. Albums have been out of print for years or even decades. Most of their albums have never even been released on seperate CDs, only on mid-price 2-albums-on-1-CD-releases! I think the Beach Boys discography has devaluated a lot by the way that Capitol and the band has been treating it the last few decades. It's a complete mess. It's a good thing that The Beatles never allowed that to happen to their music.

White Album & Peppr sound AMAZING in mono!

My mono box set arrived today.  I've only listened to Sgt Pepper so far.  I'm pleased to say it sounds like my original (and cherished) mono vinyl edition.  This is the way Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds and Fixing A Hole should be heard.  And the rest of the album for that matter.

I hope Apple decides to release the mono remasters individually in the future.  If you've never heard the mono mix, buy Sgt Pepper first.  You'll be in for a treat.....sounds amazing in mono, as Andy said.

So I got the stereo box set for Christmas, and I just got done listening to all of "Please Please Me" with the volume cranked up and with my really expensive headphones and, WOW! I'm clearly not an audiophile, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but the whole album really sounds amazing to me! I also love how the CDs are produced to look like the original records. I love clever things like that  ;D

I bought the stereo box on the day of release; very impressive!  And I've now just got the mono box; extremely impressive!!  The reproduction covers and inner sleeves are wonderful, and the sound quality is astonishing!  I've never heard PPM sounding so raw, and 'live' (the stereo spread spoils it for me) as on this mono set; even my original vinyl doesn't sound this good, and I have a quality turntable!
Pepper is magnificent (of course), and the mono White Album is fantastic (I've only ever heard the stereo - could never afford the mono vinyl!).

Last week I bought "Rubber Soul" and "Magical Mystery Tour". They are okay, but I'm not THAT impressed with the sound...

I've heard that the original stereo mixes of the albums are only included in the MONO BOX SET. It's a shame actually. I still think the whole thing is a big "rip-off". I would have liked the original stereo mixes on the stereo albums.

Post by: Bingo Bongo on June 14, 2015, 05:30:09 PM
None, I refuse!

 I made a point of buying all original U.K. LPs (yes, they are all out there) and for what people have paid for the 2012 Stereo LP set, and now the 2014 Mono LP box set, you too can own a pretty decent box set of original U.K. LPs.

 Thankfully I sold my 2012 stereo box set for more than I paid for it and kept the black box to put my Original LPs in.  Only downfall is I don't have all the Singles from the Past Masters.

Hence my new mission is now buying the Original U.K. Parlophone/Apple singles (45s)

P.S. On a side note HMV in Canada is selling the 2014 LP mono box set for $299.00 (coming down in price)
