Each album features the track listings and artwork as it was originally released in the U.K. and come with expanded booklets including original and newly written liner notes and rare photos. For a limited time, each of the Fab Four’s 12 proper albums will be “embedded” with a brief documentary about its making. The rereleases will include the Beatles’ 12 studio albums and Magical Mystery Tour as well as Past Masters Vol. I and II, which will be packaged as one collection. All 14 discs are available with DVDs of the documentaries in a stereo box set, and a set titled The Beatles in Mono featuring 10 discs are out today! A crew of engineers at London’s Abbey Road Studios have spent four years working on the remasters using new technology and vintage equipment, the press release says, in an effort to preserve “the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings” and ensure “the highest fidelity the catalog has seen since its original release.”<br /><br />9/9/09 is a huge day in Beatles lore, as it’s today that The Beatles: Rock Band is in stores. While it seems like other artists remaster their entire catalog every several years, Capitol/EMI have barely touched the Beatles’ discography since 1987, with the exception of 2004’s The Capitol Albums, Vol. 1 box set, which compiled and remastered the band’s first four American releases in stereo and mono formats. The soundtrack for the Beatles’ Love show also gave listeners a brief tease of how fantastic the band’s songs would sound if properly remastered, and here they are..The Beatles in Mono includes the 10 albums originally mixed for mono release, as well as two additional discs the press release says features similar songs to those on the Past Masters compilations. The mono versions of Help! and Rubber Soul boast bonuses: the albums’ original 1965 stereo mixes, which have not been previously released on CD, per the press release. The mono collection, like the stereo one, will include all original inserts and label designs, and the CDs are designed as tiny vinyl replicas.<br /><br />Previous press releases didn’t include news regarding a possible deal with iTunes or another digital-music vendor to distribute the catalog digitally: “Discussions regarding the digital distribution of the catalog will continue. There is no further information available at this time,” the press release reads. Both Apple Corps. and Paul McCartney have expressed reluctance to release the Beatles’ music digitally until all the albums had been remastered. The solo work of each of the four Beatles is available on iTunes.<br /><br />The Beatles Remasters available today are:<br /><br />Please Please Me<br />With the Beatles<br />A Hard Day’s Night<br />Beatles for Sale<br />Help! <br />Rubber Soul<br />Revolver<br />Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band<br />Magical Mystery Tour<br />The Beatles (The White Album)<br />Abbey Road<br />Let It Be<br />Past Masters<br />Yellow Submarine<br /><br />ok, I'm stepping out, gonna get mine.. and play the game (whilst wearing the T-shirt:-)<br /><br />Bye!Mr.Kitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06131018439296882459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963442222536530445.post-41979521978481661752009-09-12T08:49:40.124+01:002009-09-12T08:49:40.124+01:00..Oh, and an eerie story regarding the monster Cha.....Oh, and an eerie story regarding the monster Charles Manson; during the course of the Tate/LaBianca murder investigation, Manson Family member Paul Watkins related to Los Angeles District Attorney Vincent Bugliosi Charles Manson's belief that "Revolution 9" was a reference to Revelation 9, a book in the Bible that speaks of apocalypse and prophecy. He believed the Beatles were speaking to him through this piece, and he drew many odd interpretations from the lyrics.<br /><br />It was also the battle of Armageddon, the coming black-white revolution portrayed in sound, Manson claimed. According to Poston: 'When Charlie was listening to it, he heard in the background noise, in and around the machine gun fire and the oinking of pigs, a man's voice saying "Rise"' (it is first heard 2 minutes and 34 seconds into the track, just after the crowd sounds that follow 'lots of stab wounds as it were' and 'informed him on the third night' and just before 'Number 9, Number 9'). This is actually Lennon saying "RIGHT!", as in "ALL RIGHT!"<br /><br />In his own statements, Charles Manson has repeatedly denied Bugliosi's assertions that The Beatles influenced his philosophy. He has acknowledged that the "kids" in his camp were fond of The Beatles, but Manson himself was never a fan. He has claimed his tastes were more toward the likes of Hank Williams and other beer hall balladeers from the late '50s and early '60s.Mr.Kitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06131018439296882459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963442222536530445.post-27182665887188375082009-09-12T08:43:16.027+01:002009-09-12T08:43:16.027+01:00hmm..here is a list of 9 songs that contain the nu...hmm..here is a list of 9 songs that contain the number 9 in their title..Of course, The Beatles have two songs in the list.
