I already have all of these, bought em when they were brand new, now I have em on cd no skips no scratches, just great songs I still like to listen to!
Yes they released box sets of these quite a few years ago...what's the difference now? the cash register I suppose...i prefer mono the way we first heard them on AM radio and such, some of the stereo remixes are a pain in the ass.
@@thomastimlin1724 Not talking about the newer box sets, I bought all the original records way back in the 60"s, still have em but I listen to the cds, lot of great songs!
For American vinyl fans they will enjoy these sets. I'm not so sure about using the given masters Dexter received as they were mostly inferior quality. However, I'm curious about the AHDN soundtrack. That was on the UA label in the US and never officially reissued before under the digital era. The Beatles tracks were originally received over here in the US only in mono format. And then they were reprocessed duophonically (fake stereo). The George Martin orchestral excerpts, however, are in true stereo. For those who are unfamiliar with this US release, there are some interesting differences. Songs like 'And I Love Her', Paul's voice is mostly single tracked - as with John's lead on If I Fell. 'I'll Cry Instead' is also longer than the more familiar British counterpart. Lastly, there is no harmonica dropout in 'I Should Have Known Better'.
These are great points you make,I had the original United Artists album of AHDN and you are absolutely right. I actually liked losing the double tracked vocals - they sounded more natural to me. esp on And I Love Her. Loved the orchestral by George Martin...so indicative of the sounds of the times in 1964. More variety...Modern listeners just don't get it lol...like "Where's the power guitar and the thumping drums and bass?" "Don't they have any rap songs?" 🤪
On The Beatles official website store and on Universal's on-line music store, pre-orders of the 1964 US albums are listed at $29.98 each, which is fair. Buying all six individually will cost $179.88. The box set with the exclusive Beatles Story is listed at $299.98. Are they f@c%in' nuts? They're charging $120 more for a box and a crappy album hardly anyone would buy if it was sold on its own!
I think EMI comes with all the official British albums that has not yet been remixed because they remixed half of them on the Red and Blue compilation albums last year. So most of the work is already done. So: Please Please Me, With the Beatles, A hard Day's Night, Beatles for Sale, Help, Rubber Soul, The Magical Mystery Tour and the leftovers from singles B sides and the ep from 1964. Maybe in december. Maybe they do Rubber Soul as a boxset and 2CD
Too often remixing turns into meddling wit the way they sounded back in the day in mono.There's nothing wrong with a good mono mix, you can clearly hear things dead center rather than some Whose musical preference [and not expertise] is to turn up the drums or bass foro example, when those are supporting parts of these types of songs. The point of the songs during this era are the vocals and lyrics, melody and harmony, everything else is the support. There's an old saying, "too much medicine can kill, just the right amount of medicine can heal."
@@thomastimlin1724 I disagree. Mono was a technical limitation at the time, not a creative choice. There is still music made today with exactly the same instruments, that has modern stereo mixes. And the thing is that no one is hurt by having more options. I for one absolutely love the new remixes and vastly prefer them to the old stereo mix. And as an audiophile, i just get so much enjoyment out of the soundstage that is created by a great stereo mix, and the new mixes definitely deliver in that regard. But no one is stopping you from doing that.
Finally, they way heard them in the USA, if you didn't like the USA released in Britain...HEY! it;s not our friggin' fault..it; sCapitla execs..we had reverb on may of these that Britain did not. We didn't know the difference. I would like to hear the mono the way WE heard them on AM Radio. For example often Nowhere Man in stereo played down the lead guitar parts with less volume and on 1 channel. Yech! Both channels please and turn up the guitar a bit like we heard it in Mono.
After getting all the british releases on CD in the '80s U.S. releases became pointless, except Meet The Beatles - which has more original music and only one pointless cover; Yellow Submarine which was just a three pack of singles in England and a great LP in America, and Yesterday and Today which although has some redundancies is a killer album.
Hi there and wow yes this is big news!!!! I do think for people that are overseas this is just great. The talk is the Albums are in Mono and it will be coming out for Christmas :). Ok .... Well for me as it does stand, I won't be getting this....... I know shock. I do have the all in stone mint condition. And just to tell you I do have an advance promo copy of Meet the Beatles from 64 :). Verry rare yes!!! But good new yes and I do look forward to you showing them. Ps I am hearing they are over $200 for the set wow right. Cheers mate!!!!!!
Hi Brad, hope you're feeling better. I'm looking forward to learning more about a high quality packaged set of the US albums, though I don't think it will take too much to sway me 😉
Hi there. I hope you are do well. I sure do feel lousy still wow lol. But this too shell pas. There sure is a lot of great talk about this set. And a lot of people sure are excited about this and that is just Fab :). The whole thing is building up on it. More doses come in daily about it all so I will keep up with it all and you are too :). Cheers mate!!!!!
Beatles Capitol albums are the fame of being the worst pressings of all Beatles records... What s the point of heaving this releases other than collection freezing.
The Capital albums were an abomination. Why does anyone want those?? We are waiting for them to stop jerking around with releases like the red/blue albums and FINISH the rest of the catalog with the Giles remasters. Get this done already!
I get what you're saying. I'll trust Giles before I'll trust anyone else with Beatles remixes etc. At least he has a personal stake and family reputation on the line, and seems to never disappoint. I think the pressings were, until Revolver or Sgt Peppers, a mentality that us Americans wanted to hear "hit formula" reverb excessively because that's what they were doing to most records in that era. But when they did "fake" stereo on Capital records, it was worse. For example often Nowhere Man in stereo played down the lead guitar parts with less volume and on 1 channel. Yech! Both channels please and turn up the guitar a bit, and center it, like we heard it in Mono. that kind of weird stuff. On the other hand today there are so many remixes based on musical preference over common sense, it makes me puke. Giles Martin will get it right.
it's conning fans, cash grab - let's go on strike - I'm not buying this - JLennon with his straightforward tongue would probably say : crap - like he often used to
Where the hell are the UK releases from Please Please Me through Rubber Soul. I'm American and grew up with the Capital BS releases. I discovered the UK imports in 1973 and never listened to a Capitol release again. Sorry Sir Paul but this sounds like a money grab to me and I won't be putting out money for any of it. I'm not that nostalgic that I have to listen to Capitol releases to relive my childhood again. The only Capitol release I would buy would be MMT and maybe not. Aside from "Your Mother Should Know" and "Baby Your A Rich Man" the songs on the remix of the 66-70 MMT tracks cover enough of that record for me.
Everyone want the Rubber Soul box set.
that one would be released for its 60 anniversary next year

Can't wait to get 'em! 😊 Just hope the vinyl's clean.
I do like the American song lineup of Rubber Soul
Just found you and subbed. Welcome to RUclips.
Thanks Michael, much appreciated. I enjoy the work on your channel too.

It's official on the beatles wesite will be available November 22!
22nd of november the lps will be released according to universal music Germany.
Release date of With The Beatles and White Album years ago. Also, convenient before Thanksgiving and Holiday sales.

Horrible. What is the point of this? We need more Super Deluxe Editions.
Money. Easy...don't buy it. Collectors will.
No thanks Paul....not making money on me on this one....
I get it. Paul must be saving up for a giant funeral...

No thanks..not paying for vinyl or mono. get back to remixing the the early albums .

who needs ‘em? get the 2009 mono box set; The Beatles & their production team intended us to listen to everything up to & including 1967 in mono
Not availeble anymore
Because stereo was not the norm yet. Now it is for 56 years or so
As far as I know all of the remastered series are including the mono mixes.
