I get the fear when I think of all the Beatles bootlegs out there. Too much to listen to, so I end up listening to almost none of it. I know if I started I probably wouldn't be able to stop, and I don't have time...

That said, here's what I wish Apple would do. Go through all the session tapes, mix them in stereo, then release them. Every single one.

A recording session typically lasted for three hours in the 1960s, though some days there were multiple sessions booked (with short breaks between each one), and towards the end of the ...

Yip. Three volumes of 5 cd sets. The first 2 volumes covered '58 - '70 (going over that period twice due to the amount of stuff out there) and the third was the solo years up to '94 (the one i never got). They had some amazing tracks, quite rare at the time, and made everyone jump at such a collection.

There are stories that Artifacts nudged Apple into being more determined to release 3 Anthology volumes due to how well it sold, the same as said about Great Danes's 9 BBC set (which increased to 10) which made Apple wake-up and give us Live ...

Coming from any other country besides Italy, one could conceivably not be blamed for desperately wanting this latest petroleum-wasting concoction from the marketing geniuses at Apple/Capitol/EMI/Parlophone/Southern/Eastern/Western/Northern Songs & all the other greedy bastard music companies around the world- after all, there are so many insubstantial permutations and bastardizations of the Pure, Blossoming, Virginally Sweet Sounds of The Beatles that have already screwed up every single audiophonic memory of the original songs known to Mankind up until now - mono, stereo, high fidelity, noise-reduced, bass-enhanced, Dolby-treated, half-speed remastered, surgically remixed, 32-track, quadrophonic, streamed, mp3'd, analogued, digitized and circumsized to the point where we can't even ...

Yeah, it's a nice looking box. Probably more practical than the one the 2009 stereo remasters came in, and would go well next to the Mono Masters box.

Nice to see some 50th anniversary promotion. I like the slipcase box for those who don't want to spend the big coin on the vinyl set.

Hi - 2009 remastered CDs are being re-issued in Italy as from today and sold with LA Repubblica newspaper. See news here and here.

There will be a different album each week (in no particular order).

I bought the first one today (SPLHCB) with the collection box, and for geeks it seems to be the same basic format/artwork/layout as the 2009 edition although it has an extra wording written along the bottom of the back cover in Italian.

ciao!
