I love the Beatles. My friend got me into them when I was in junior high, been a fan ever since. I prefer their later stuff over the early stuff though. My favorite song is "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."
So is anyone buying either of the box sets? Or any of the remastered albums or rock band?
Yeah, I agree w/ pretty much everything duranduran's said, lol. DD, have you bought or are you going to buy either of the box sets? (or both??). If you were recommending one to buy based on sound quality, which would you go w/, stereo or mono? Most of the reviews I've read say that Mono is better because it's the quality that George Martin used and put much time and energy in, opposed to stereo, which was in its infancy stages and mixed by George's underlings. And that the Beatles mixed them in Mono, so that's how they're supposed to sound, and therefore the closest representation to what took place in the studio. Do you agree w/ any of this, or do you think it's just music snobbery and that the two mixes sound the same (or do you prefer stereo?). I've read a few comments @ amazon's boards preferring one over the other, and countless mono-fans swearing by mono.
i've listened to mixes on youtube and mono sounded better, but it wasn't an official mix (i think the user was 'theonebeatle' who posted/mixed them; not quite sure how one does that). i've tried finding posts of the 09 remasters of the same song to compare, but accuracy is very difficult because different people post them, which may affect the sound. anyways any thoughts on the subject?
U know I'm not a fan of the Beatles. I love Hey Jude and Let It Be but that's it. But for several days lately I've been watching their videos on Youtube and seen that their music's so diverse. LIke Helter Skelter, it's pure metal LOL, songs like Lady Madonna, A Hard Day's Night, DOnt Let Me Down,... are great too. I think it's time to reeducate myself about The Beatles LOL.
One of my friends suggest me buying Sergent Pepper Lonely Heart Club Band (?) (weird name ^). But I've come across a lot bunch of ppl who say Sergent Pepper is far from their best album and one of the most overrated album ever, they say Revolver (?) should take its place. I think I should get some advice from you ^^. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
I REALLY, REALLY want the mono box set. I've got two of the Stereo remastered albums already -- Revolver and The White Album -- and have listened to them. They are superb. I would love to get Rock Band, but, sadly, I have a PS2 and not a Wii, PS3 or Xbox.
Oh, and on this, the first four albums had only been released on mono only and had not been released on stereo until now. The albums from Yellow Submarine all the way to Let It Be were released in stereo only because that was the only one they were recorded on. The others had been recorded on both stereo and mono prior to those. But, the four new songs on the Yellow Submarine songtrack are in the mono box set in the "Mono Masters" set. Some songs, once you listen to them, you can determine were either "made for mono," "made for stereo," or sound good on both. You can definitely hear instruments better on the stereo versions, and everything seems pretty balanced for the most part.
o :lol: I see that you've already posted your opinion! Thank you for saying that... I will needto go to the shop and listen to it first. Yeah, just like Earth Song, can afford all this stuff right now... but I hope I will at some point! :jump:

I've got the White Album and Revolver. I kept on switching the CDs after every song to make my comparisons -- I took notes! lol
"Tomorrow Never Knows" is one of THE BEST remastered songs. And the whole White Album is so much louder (as is every other album) and clearer and you can hear everything...and I mean EVERYTHING! I've heard that Revolver is the best remastered album from a lot of people...we'll see, once I make more purchases and comparisons.
I'm a Beatle freak!!!

What are mikes fav beatles songs or albums?
I want the mono set now- but first off it is too much money for me now, and two I am going to wait to purchase it cuz I want MJ to have more sales in 2009. I really want MJ to top sales!
I want Rock Band more than the mono box right now, but I want about 20 MJ shirts most of all.
Lorraine, I know how much you love George!!
And remember, he owned the catalog to most of their songs, so his kids/estate profit from the sales.
I can't get Rock Band because I don't have the right console for it!
Plus, since you're waiting to buy the mono set, it gives you time to save up money to get it! Hehe.
His favourite song was 'Yesterday' He said so in an interview in the early 80's.
Yeah, I know, I think RB is only for PS3! : /
RB looks so fun!
I hope Prince, Paris, and Blanket make heaps of money off the different Beatles things... Dhani, too... he's worked hard on Rock Band!
