9/9/9: The Day All Beatles Fans Should Buy The New Beatles Box Sets

By Laurence Henry Hanson

If you're like me then you already own every Beatles album on CD. And if that's the case it's likely that you may be thinking to yourself "Why should I buy all of The Beatles albums again just because they're being re-released on CD?"

But you need to realize that these new remastered versions of The Beatles albums are not like the ones you have on CD now.

The difference between the ones you own now and the CDs in the mono box set is quite obvious! The Beatles albums including as a part of the mono box set are in their original mono mixes which have never been included on CD before.

These mono mixes are the way The Beatles originally intended their music to be heard when they recorded their music in the 1960s.

Why is that? In the 1960s almost everyone listened to their LPs on a mono playback system so stereo was mostly ignored and most of the time and energy of The Beatles and their production team was spent on perfecting the mono mixes of their awesome albums.

In the '60s the mono mixes were definitely considered to be the "real version" of The Beatles albums. And even since the stereo mixes have moved to prominence there have been many who have claimed that the mono mixes sound better.

So that explains the importance of the mono box set, but what about the stereo box set? Don't we already have The Beatles albums in stereo on CD? Yes we do, but these are newly remastered.

That means that these new stereo CDs sound much better than the CDs first released in 1987. They will allow listeners to hear new details in The Beatles music that have been hidden for many years! - 18424
