The Beatles Remastered

dogsbody · 2008-09-02T15:13:39Z

Hi guys,The word is out according to Mojo Magazine's latest issue that the entire Beatles EMI catalogue is going to be be remastered for release sometime in 2009 (It won't be a rush job for Christmas 2008).Is it a good thing to change the audible sound quality we have all come to love from those classic recordings?It's like time travel in a way, should they mess with history?I don't know! I'm not sure about it! They say they are going to improve the sound so that Paul's bass for example is more clearly defined as it was always toned down by the the sound engineer originally and also to remove the left channel, right channel separation that was done on the early stereo albums. Apparently it will sound like we the listeners will feel as though we are in the studio literally feet away from Lennon and co. The quality will be that good.I know I was happy with the fact that I duplicated all my original LP's with the CD versions during the 80's and packed the LP's away in the attic but can I justify to myself duplicating all the CD's with these new remastered versions. H'mmmmm! probably if I can afford it. My wife will finally give up on me I think as a complete and utter Beatle maniac over 40 years after the event and totally incurable (then she's known that for years).What do you all think about this remastering malarky ?signed a worried man :? :? :?

I hope this does finally happen. We've waited a very long time. (But "9" was in fact Lennon's favorite number -- Revolution #9/ #9 Dream/ John Ono Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon had nine o's, etc. Hence I think it's a tribute to John to release the remasters on 9/9/09).

Well we all shine on--like the moon and the stars and the sun.

I just hope we can buy the tracks online for 99 cents each.
