Are you buying the Beatles Remastered stuff?

[bluehorseshoe]

Amazon has the Box Set for $199 w/ free shipping, stereo and mono.

[PAKMAN]

I'll download it on a torrent

[McGinnisM]

I really, really want to. Have not decided for sure yet, it's pretty steep...

[trpnwillie]

God, I'd love to... but can't. Right now anyway.

I understand that the mono set was pressed only once. When it sells out - it's gone.

[kevflaherty]

God, I'd love to... but can't. Right now anyway.

I understand that the mono set was pressed only once. When it sells out - it's gone.


Most places have sold out of the Mono set. I am trying to track down now. Amazon says they are getting more.

[DMBfan]

Want to badly.

[Jobiwan24]

I am dying to but will prob settle for just the rock band for now

[DMBfan]

Mono on Amazon...i'm guessing this will go fast

[DMBfan]

I bit on the mono...prices are pretty crazy on the bay

[kevflaherty]

I bit on the mono...prices are pretty crazy on the bay


Just bit as well. Says ships in 4-5 days for me.

[McGinnisM]

Damn I want to buy this.

[PAKMAN]

Damn I want to buy this.
I feel compelled to do it, but I have most of it. I'll download it and decide whether or not its remarkably better, then buy it.

[McGinnisM]

Illegally download it? I was kind of hoping iTunes might up and decided to pop this up today.

[DMBfan]

My Mono set is coming today...can't wait to crack them open.

[Mave Datthews!]

If I had the money, I'd get that for my dad for Christmas. The Beatles were/are his DMB.

[Gary!]

Downside to mono is no Abbey Road or Let it Be, right?

I kind of want a hybrid of the two boxes.

[DMBfan]

Yeah, Abbey Road is my favorite too...I want the stereo box for x-mas

[thesavageguy]

I really really really REALLY want this set.

But if I may ask, why is mono so popular? I dont understand why anyone wants it in the first place. Collectible??

[Gary!]

I do too.


I think the remastered mono is popular because that was the "original" way they were recorded. THe purists like them.

[BigWhiskey]

i wish that they did a vinyl box set release. I have a lot of the originals but would like to have a new set to listen to and save the old ones

[thesavageguy]

I do too.

Can anyone who has purchased the Stereo set attest to how the stereo mixes sound? I would have to think the quality of the listening experience to be improved. Doubt the 'purists' would agree with me on that one....

[bluehorseshoe]

The print run for the mono set has been set and is already announced, whereas the stereo print run will be reproduced as needed.

So the collectibility factor comes into play for the mono.

[ProudestMonkE]

the stereo remaster sounds amazing. I am a colossal fan however and I think that it adds to how I hear it. It does sound crystal clear and you hear a lot more subtle sounds that were a lot softer before. I have only fully listen to The Beatles and Abbey Road but I can hear a significant difference

Interesting.

They certainly do know how to sucker us into buying the same albums over and over, don't they?

By the time George Lucas is done, I'll probably have bought star wars like 6-7 times... pisses me off.

Mostly audiophiles will want mono.

Stereo = guitars, bass & drums on 2 channels (left & right).

Mono = John on 1 channel, Paul on 1 channel, George on 1 channel, Ringo on 1 channel; then sent to left or right when they were mixing.

Mono just gives you more control over where the audio goes as opposed to everything spread out over 2 channels. Everything is mixed in mono, then recorded in stereo.

[PAKMAN]

Sounds richer, but not worth the cash to buy it all again in my opinion.

All of which, I do have to say, sounds pretty awesome on some Beatles albums. I never noticed as much until I was in college and separated speakers on each side of my room.

[McGinnisM]

If anyone buys this and wants to trade this for the Live Trax series, hit me up!

[Sochax92]

considering i have the albums i will not be buying these... only more of a way for Micheal to make money in his grave.. (too soon???)

[Mave Datthews!]

No. I've always thought that whole thing was such horse shit. The author of the song should own the song forever. PERIOD.

[Gary!]

No. I've always thought that whole thing was such horse shit. The author of the song should own the song forever. PERIOD.

Yeah I'd imagine if Lennon/McCartney had it to do over, the whole Northern Songs deal would have been much different. But I think the initial sale was (obviously) done to save/make them money, so they at least had some role in that downfall... and were paid handsomely for it at the time.

Edit: I don't disagree that Michael could have shown Paul a hell of a lot more respect by not bidding against him, though.

[Mave Datthews!]

Oh, they definitely had a hand it in. They knew what they were getting into. I just think there shouldn't even be the option.

[jbcii55]

I'll download it on a torrent


i love you Pakee

[PAKMAN]

i love you Pakee
:tipofcap


For what little it's worth, my comment deserves explanation.

Seldom do I buy full albums. I have a habit of downloading them, listening to them, then either deciding whether to keep them, or pitch them. If I decide that an album is really a good piece of work, I'll go out and buy it, but most things, like this Beatles set, gets deleted.

I consider it just researching the music I choose to invest in. 99% of albums don't deserve to be purchased.

I know dude.....i am going to evaluate this too.....thing is, I grew up listening to the beatles on AM radio and know every song and word by heart... doesnt matter to me if they have been re-done in any way.... the songs are stuck in my head for life....


it's like my "technet subscription!!!" evaluation only!!

[thesavageguy]

Recently got the stereo re-issue and holy crap has it been worth ever penny! If you are a fan and on the fence, dont hesitate! This is a box set I'll likely own the rest of my life!

[McGinnisM]

Though you can play Beatles songs on Rock Band and enjoy the band’s epic catalog on remastered CDs, you still can’t legally buy the music of John, Paul, George and Ringo on the iTunes store or other digital shops — yet. In a move that may represent Apple Corps. softening its traditionally inflexible view of selling the Fab Four’s music digitally, the company and EMI Music will release a limited-edition USB drive featuring the entire Beatles in Stereo remastered set as 320 Kbps MP3s on December 8th. All 14 albums and 13 “mini-documentaries” will be included on the 16GB USB drive, which will be shaped like the iconic Apple logo with “The Beatles” written on it. Only 30,000 of these USBs will be produced; onsale information is available at the Beatles Website.
Explore the Beatles’ full catalog in our album guide.
In addition, EMI is going after a digital-music Website called BlueBeat.com for offering up the Beatles catalog as a digital download without permission. According to Variety, a copyright-infringement lawsuit was filed yesterday by EMI, which controls the digital rights of the Beatles music through an agreement with Apple Corps.
Look back at classic photos of the Beatles.
Not only is BlueBeat offering the Beatles catalog without permission, they’re also doing it at below market prices: Each track costs only 25 cents, so an 11-track album like Magical Mystery Tour can be purchased digitally for $2.75, well below the $9.99 or so that iTunes would charge. Additionally, the entire digital Beatles in Mono catalog box set is currently being sold at BlueBeat for $53.25.
As of press time, BlueBeat is still permitting the Beatles’ catalog to be streamed and downloaded despite the threat of the lawsuit, and its parent company, Media Rights Technologies, didn’t respond to inquires from Variety. According to the news section at the BlueBeat site, the Website has been streaming the Beatles catalog since September 16th, just one week after the remasters were released.

OH.....MY.....GOD.....i need this!! LOL

[McGinnisM]

Not sure what this site is, but it is:

http://www.bluebeat.com/artists/419

[PAKMAN]

Which means, they'll be online for free days later. :woohoo

Show of hands, who would be interested in contributing to a fund to buy one of these USB drives?

The music would be ripped and distributed for everyone's enjoyment.

:wave

Guys... I can (most likely) just download it from What.CD right now. Don't waste your money.

I could do a YouSendIt for each album or something.

You run a mac right? I can just give you my server info and you could upload it via FTP if that'd be the way you'd like to go.

[Mave Datthews!]

Indeed I do, and if you can walk me through how to do that real quick (I'm still kind of a Mac novice), that would be much easier.

And I just checked: it's all definitely up on What.CD (stereo AND mono) - and it's all Freeleech! Woo! :hysterical

[McGinnisM]

Yes. I love this place.

I'm uploading a 1.33 GB zip file to Pat's server. It's the 320 kbps (CD quality) stereo version.


I like men.
We know.

Throw some action Mave's way as well. Maybe a Dutch Rudder. :think

Are the initial numbers in from Research and Development about how completely awesome the "Entire 2010 Tour For DL Here (MP3 only)" Thread is going to be?

Who was it? Just curious. I don't get mad about it because I am merely hosting the recordings of someone else, so I'm in a similar position, but I'm still paying for bandwidth.

[Mave Datthews!]

Damn right.

Su-pa-sperm.
Shot right through the fucking condom. I was so impressed, I couldn't bring myself to get pissed.

CRAP FUCKING SHIT.

I closed my laptop without thinking and killed the connection. It wasn't too far, though. I just restarted it and I'll let it go through the night.

Gotta love being absent-minded. Love it.

Its all good. I've done that a few dozen times in uploading shows. I've found that overnight is the best way of doing it anyhow.

[Mave Datthews!]

No problem, folks.

And you can call me Eric, by the way. (It's in my sig). :)

G'night.

[PAKMAN]

Not interested.

Oh shit, if we're not working to put up the most marketable download, maybe we should take it down. :dunno

[clwatt3]

Link will be gone at 1030ish or whenever the 1st intermission of the Pens game is.

[hirschy75]

Mine downloaded perfectly...all good :)

Oh! Phew. I had a mini heart attack and thought maybe I had uploaded a version that was all in German or something. :shock

And you're most welcome. I have such amazing access to every kind of music/audio one can think of, but no invites yet... why not share the love?

[hirschy75]
