- Release Notes:
- On September 9, 2009, after a nearly 22-year wait, digitally remastered
- versions of all of the Beatles studio albums will be released, a press
- release has confirmed. Each album will feature the track listings and
- artwork as it was originally released in the U.K. and come with
- expanded booklets including original and newly written liner notes and
- rare photos. For a limited time, each of the Fab FourÆs 12 proper
- albums will be ôembeddedö with a brief documentary about its making.
- The rereleases will include the BeatlesÆ 12 studio albums and Magical
- Mystery Tour as well as Past Masters Vol. I and II, which will be
- packaged as one collection. All 14 discs will be available with DVDs of
- the documentaries in a stereo box set, and a set titled The Beatles in
- Mono featuring 10 discs will also be released.
- (Look back at the BeatlesÆ studio albums and Rolling StoneÆs stories on
- the LPs.)
- A crew of engineers at LondonÆs Abbey Road Studios have spent four
- years working on the remasters using new technology and vintage
- equipment, the press release says, in an effort to preserve ôthe
- authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordingsö and
- ensure ôthe highest fidelity the catalog has seen since its original
- release.ö
- 9/9/09 promises to be a huge day in Beatles lore, as itÆs the same day
- The Beatles: Rock Band will hit stores. This weekend brought a bit of
- Beatles news, too, as Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr reunited onstage
- at a New York benefit for David LynchÆs Transcendental Meditation
- foundation (see photos here). Preorders for the remasters are already
- popping up on Amazon.co.uk. Demand for Beatles remasters has steadily
- increased since 1987, when Capitol/EMI first released the BeatlesÆ
- discography on CD with what many audiophile fans deemed substandard
- sound quality compared to the original vinyl.
- While it seems like other artists remaster their entire catalog every
- several years, Capitol/EMI have barely touched the BeatlesÆ discography
- since 1987, with the exception of 2004Æs The Capitol Albums, Vol. 1 box
- set, which compiled and remastered the bandÆs first four American
- releases in stereo and mono formats. The soundtrack for the BeatlesÆ
- Love show also gave listeners a brief tease of how fantastic the bandÆs
- songs would sound if properly remastered.
- The Beatles in Mono will include the 10 albums originally mixed for
- mono release, as well as two additional discs the press release says
- features similar songs to those on the Past Masters compilations. The
- mono versions of Help! and Rubber Soul will boast bonuses: the albumsÆ
- original 1965 stereo mixes, which have not been previously released on
- CD, per the press release. The mono collection, like the stereo one,
- will include all original inserts and label designs, and the CDs are
- designed as tiny vinyl replicas.
- The press release didnÆt include news regarding a possible deal with
- iTunes or another digital-music vendor to distribute the catalog
- digitally: ôDiscussions regarding the digital distribution of the
- catalog will continue. There is no further information available at
- this time,ö the press release reads. Both Apple Corps. and Paul
- McCartney have expressed reluctance to release the BeatlesÆ music
- digitally until all the albums had been remastered. The solo work of
- each of the four Beatles is available on iTunes.
