The Beatles In Stereo

OK so I don't really feel like I need to say too much about The Beatles since I would be very surprised to meet anybody who's likely to read this who doesn't know who they are and hasn't heard at least one Beatles song in their life! Like them or not there is no denying the massive impact they made on the music industry and certainly for me they were the first band I can remember listening to. I remember the first cassettes I listened to were Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour which a friend from school had copied and given to me! I have since got all of their albums and whilst I don't really listen to them that often I still consider them to be one of the all time greats.

This weeks sees the re-release of all The Beatles albums after four years of extensive digital remastering. Stereo editions of all 12 UK studio albums along with the Magical Mystery Tour soundtrack and the Past Masters double album have been released. These can be purchased all together as a box set (£169.98 on Amazon) or individually for various prices. For the purists who think The Beatles should only be listened to in their original form as they were intended can also buy a Mono version of the box set.

For me I already have the albums from various release versions with various levels of remastering and so won't be getting any of these new releases. If you are however sadly lacking in Beatles albums I would thoroughly recommend investing in at least one! Especially as there is no Beatles available on Spotify! As for my recommendations I would have to say my favourites are Abbey Road, Yellow Submarine or Sgt Peppers!
