The Beatles Remastered
It's difficult to imagine in many ways, but 2009 has definitely been the year of The Beatles OK, and MJ had a big year too 2009 was the year Beatles fans have been waiting for because it was the year that the remastered versions of their albums finally came out on CD and digitally.
The Beatles Stereo Box Set
This box set has been the most popular Beatles release of 2009. It's been a huge seller and for a very good reason. It includes the band's entire 1962-1970 catalog in brilliantly remastered stereo. These remastered Beatles albums sound absolutely fantastic (these discs are far superior to the '87 Beatles discs you likely have at the moment.)
The really big improvement in comparison to the old CDs can be heard in the way McCartney's bass guitar blasts through the mix like never before and Ringo's drums sound far better too. Another big positive is being able to hear each individual vocal part with more clarity.
The Beatles in Mono Box Set
The release that has gained the most attention of hardcore Beatles fans is probably the mono box because it's the first time that the original mono mixes have ever been released on CD.
Some "purist" Beatles fans feel strongly that these mono mixes were the way their music was supposed to be listened to and the purists have a good reason for believing that. Mono was what most Beatles fans listened to in the '60s and The Beatles spent the majority of their time working on getting the mono mixes just right. It really wasn't until around'68 that The Beatles started to take their stereo mixes seriously.
The Beatles USB Memory Stick
The Beatles USB is a digital version of the stereo box set. It includes both 320kbps mp3s and 24bit FLAC files. Along with the obvious audio component, this Apple USB stick also contains the visual parts of the box set such as the 13 mini documentaries, the extended liner notes, and the photographs.
This USB memory stick is compatible with both PC and Mac computers. The mp3s that it contains should work with no issues with any mp3 player (whether it be a Zune, an iPod, or a generic brand.) - 18424
