Apparently so, I thought everything had been already. Story here in case you need to add to the music library.

Interesting news. And I've been on a Beatles kick all day today. I was jammin' in my car this morning to "I Should Have Know Better" over and over again. Then I was the Walrus at work. Yep. The Beatles are awesome.

I'm highly skeptical that digital remastering of 1960's-era recordings is going to make enough difference for me to shell out hundreds of dollars for CDs I already have.

If you don't get it, how will we know if the remastering is done right? You're the expert, I hope you realize.

No, that would be mousepod.

But maybe I'll buy one and compare it to the previously released CD.

I'll need some LSD for this aural experiment ... anyone?

No, you're right. You impostor!

Well, I think at the very least you should get Abbey Road and see how they messed with it. mousepod had me listen to two versions of AR. I think one was stereo and one was mono... I think. Either way, both are still AR. Which is wonderful.

What is interesting is that everything is being remastered in Stereo. Most of the early recordings were made in Mono. Not bitching, just making the observation.

Personally, I am looking forward to these. I stopped buying Beatles CDs because I wasn't satisfied with the sound quality. But I was optimistic after the "1" CD came out.

I don't believe there was a mono release of Abbey Road. I'm pretty sure the White Album was their last one released in both mono and stereo.

Also, I have no desire to hear false stereo recordings of mono Beatles songs more than once for novelty value.

You are correct: Abbey Road was never officially released mono. Some bootleggers have created fake mono versions of the album though.

If the remasters sound anything as good as the Love soundtrack then we are in for a nice ride.

The remastered XTC catalogue is being released this year as well, so good for me and my ears.
