As technology develops and society changes new ways and means will be utilised. What they are who knows but no one would have thought Love or Rock Band would exist even in the early 2000's.

Plus the record companies make an absolute fortune from Beatle releases so they're not going to let it simply sit there. EMI's financial situation was horrendous before the 2009 reissues so they will be constantly looking, and pressing, Apple for something, anything to bring cash in (the reissues didnt completely solve EMI's cash issues but they certainly helped).

But my main concern in all of this is, if these are basically as cleaned up as possible, is this the last thing Apple will have in store for us? (Beatle-wise)

Apple wont include remixes as its viewed as playing about with the beatles official cannon. They will put out remixes but they are not to be seen as replacing whats on the 14 set in stone studio albums as released in 1987 (PPM -> LIB + Past Masters).

I have all the deluxe Beatle albums. But I'm not talking about bootlegs, you don't understand. I'm saying something advertised, you know, official releases.

You get the normal edition, followed by a special edition, delux edition, super delux edition, and finally the uber-mega superduper incredulous 45 cd release. However The Beatles are not most bands and Apple dont normally follow the line, they do things differently so who knows what they will do. Maybe they will be so different and do nothing.

 

On a slightly different note whilst it may not be official a lot of bootlegs and studio outtakes, bbc sessions, demo's ...]]> Wed, 29 Feb 2012 11:13:04 +0000 The Strawberry on Is this it or....? http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/is-this-it-or/#p51031 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/is-this-it-or/#p51031 I'm not saying remastering. (But I do sort of prefer the Yellow Submarine Soundtrack version of Hey Bulldog over the stereo Yellow Submarine version.) But more of like something along the lines of like how they did Let It Be Naked, why not a version of Sgt. Pepper that includes Strawberry Fields Forever Take 1, but Take 1 with the backing vocals (which I cannot find remastered other than Love, but I want it all the way through.) and make a new version of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds that includes the vocals alternate John vocals (that appear ...]]> Wed, 29 Feb 2012 09:52:22 +0000 mr.

The idea with the 2009 Remasters was to be as loyal to the original recordings as possible and not to include remixes of any of the songs (there was a lot of complaint when Yellow Submarine Songtrack (YSS) came out with people saying that Beatle history was being messed with since it wasnt what the Beatles originally put out. On the other hand some people feel that some of the tracks on the YSS album are superior to the original mixes (eg Eleanor Rigby)).

But I assumed that they could fix that when it was digitally remastered, they did it for the Anthology so why is this any different?

 

I saw a picture online showing that the booklet of Magical Mystery Tour was attached to the inside of the case. Also, all the of them come in a plastic sleeve so you don't smudge the CD which was another thing I wish mine came with. I'm guessing this is only for the mono version?

When they came to do the stereo mix they couldn't grab the Lear audio again - it was all done live - so only half of the 'stereo' mix is actually in true stereo.

From the entrance of the radio signal (around the "Sitting in an English garden" point) they created a 'fake stereo' version, which involved cutting the treble from one channel and the bass in the other to try to fool listeners into thinking ...]]> Tue, 28 Feb 2012 13:21:18 +0000 The Strawberry on Is this it or....? http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/is-this-it-or/#p51009 The albums http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/albums/is-this-it-or/#p51009  Hi, it's me! :D

 Well, I don't know about you, but I found a lot of the stuff in 2009 to be a big let down. Especially The Beatles: Rock Band, but I will go into that in another post. The stereo remasters, I found them, almost them same.

 There wasn't much different, somethings weren't as good. I still am a little confused on the whole "impossible to do I Am The Walrus in true stereo."

So, do you think this is it though? Do you think Apple has basically finished off The Beatles with ...]]> Tue, 28 Feb 2012 09:10:26 +0000
