Repackaging the Remasters

[Revolver42]

they are releasing both mono and stereo remasters.

I understand that...I just wanted to know which is going to have the sound that will knock me off of my feet.

Maybe they should include non-album songs as bonus tracks. It could be this way:

Please Please Me: "From Me To You", "Thank You Girl", "She Loves You", "I'll Get You"

With The Beatles: "I Want To Hold Your Hand", "This Boy"

A Hard Day's Night: "Long Tall Sally", "I Call Your Name", "Slown Down", "Matchbox"

Beatles For Sale: "I Feel Fine", "She's A Woman"

Help!: "Bad Boy", "Yes It Is", "I'm Down"

Rubber Soul: "We Can Work It Out", "Day Tripper"

Revolver: "Paperback Writer", "Rain"

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: no bonus tracks here

Magical Mystery Tour: "Only A Nothern Song", "All Together Now", "Hey Bulldog", "It's All Too Much"

The Beatles (White Album): "Lady Madonna", "The Inner Light", "Hey Jude", "Revolution"

Abbey Road: "The Ballad Of John And Yoko", "Old Brown Shoe"

Let It Be: "Get Back" (single version), "Don't Let Me Down", "Let It Be" (single version), "You Know My Name"

^That is like Purple Chick released them. They're obviously going to release the Past Masters discs as well.

Yes, but they wouldn't need to release the Past Masters and Yellow Submarine if they included those songs as bonus tracks.

P.S.: Who's Purple Chick?

They are coming.

I have all of the original remastered CD's from the 80's... I may have to sell them all in order to help fund the purchase of these remasters!

help is the operative word here...and you better hurry up and sell these, because the market will be awash w/ the "old" versions very soon!

Images Of The New Beatles Covers Go Online

Apple Corps, The Beatles record label, has published images of the new Beatles covers at The Beatles official website. On the 9th of the 9th of the 9th, The Beatles catalogue will be reissued. All albums have been remastered and the album covers will feature additional artwork including previously unreleased photos. What is interesting is that the old Parlophone albums like

Ah.. oh... BEATLEGASM!

My only grip about the covers is that they appear to be a bit fiddly and after a few months of getting the booklet/cd out of the casing, they're going to start looking a little bit tatty.  Hopefully, the materials used will be sturdy.

Can anybody explain to me how remastering is going to improve things?  The Please Please Me album was recorded on 2-track, and the stereo was mixed with the voices on one side and the instruments on the other, how is remastering going to give the album a more balanced sound.  All the mixing faults, such as the dropouts of sound on Day Tripper will remain if not rectified.  Also, are the mono mixes that are to be released going to be faithful to the originals?  For example, the guitar line that's on the very end of the stereo version of What Goes On is missing from the mono version, will this remain on the new versions?  At this point, there's more questions than answers.  Hopefully, all the answers will be revealed on The One after 090909.
