Brilliant! Just Brilliant!November 25, 2009 Michael A. Clark(Londonderry Northern Ireland) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Well, I finally received this box set last week and I'm now up to The Beatles (The White Album). This was a brilliant idea to remaster these masterpieces!!! I have never heard the Beatles like this before. The sound is so clear and much much better than the original recordings. If you have the American versions of the Beatles records, then you'll know what an embarrassment they are with the false stereo. An example of this is Roll Over Beethoven. You can hear an echo on the American version. Listen to this remastered version and it is clear as a bell, no echo, nothing just pure sound. The entire Beatles catalogue is like this.
This box set includes all 13 studio albums and a double disc of the Past Masters Vol. I and II CDs. Each CD has a mini-documentary at the end. Just insert into your computer and watch. There is an additional DVD of all the mini-documentaries as well. This set was very well planned out to provide the fans with one brilliant Beatles set that will knock your socks off.
Each CD has been carefully remastered and packaged with a three-fold cover. Each CD includes a booklet about the making of the album and historical notes. Each booklet also includes pictures neer before seen in both color and black and white. The Beatles (The hite Album) is really impressive. They have made it exactly as the original LP vinyl release. It is a four-fold fold out jacket. This remaster also includes a booklet of historical notes and the making of the album along with the lyrics. Do you remember the four individual pictures of the Beatles? Well, in the fold out cover of this beautifully remastered work are the pictures. Thic CD also includes a mini-poster of the original poster of the collage on one side and the lyrics to the songs on the other side.
The entire collection, not only individually packaged, is packaged as a whole with a shiny, black flip-top box with the words "The Beatles" centered in white. Below is a picture of an apple to signify "Apple Records".
I have been totally blown away by this collection. Once you hear these remastered works in true stereo, you'll never want to listen to the original CD again. I have also ordered the mono box set which I will be picking up from the post office tomorrow. I am quite sure that the mono box set, which does not have the last 3 Beatles albums, is just as brilliant as the stereo set. The reason for the last 3 albums excluded is because they were not recorded in mono.
If you're a Beatles fan, this is one set that is a must. If you want to replace your Beatles collection with a better sound, then this collection is for you. This is one collection that I have to say is very much well worth the money.
Wow! Wow! Wow!November 25, 2009 M. Evangelist 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Don't hesitate for a moment; buy it. Put it on your favorite speakers, or clamp on the Sennheisers, and you are in for an incredible treat. This is music I thought I had already explored completely; how wrong I was! Every minute with this amazing set is a voyage of wonderful rediscovery. It's as if a veil has been lifted. If you love the Beatles' music, you will not be disappointed. Probably the best two hundred bucks I've ever spent.
THE GREATEST GOT BETTERNovember 23, 2009 Jeff I. Rauchbach(SPRINGFIELD, NJ) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
BEFORE I PURCHASED THE STEREO BOX SET I READ ALOT OF THE REVIEWS. IN PARTICULAR THOSE REVIEWS THAT WERE NOT VERY FAVORABLE. IF YOU ARE A BEATLE'S FAN DON'T LISTEN TO THOSE REVIEWS. THE BOX SET IS GREAT!! THE SOUND IS TERRIFIC AND I'M ENJOYING THE MUSIC OF MY YOUTH ONCE AGAIN. IF I WAS TO BE CRITICAL ABOUT ANYTHING IT WOULD BE THAT THE CDS ARE NOT EASILY RETRIEVABLE OUT OF THE BOX. A MINOR ANNOYANCE THAT IN THE END SHOULD NOT MATTER. ANYONE WHO IS A BEATLE'S FAN WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ENJOY THE MOMENT!!
Damaged GoodsNovember 22, 2009 Ken Kapuler 0 out of 14 found this review helpful
I was looking forward to receiving the Beatles Stereo for my birthday but when I opened it on the inside of the sleeve; one of the corners was crunched. For $179 I was disappointed with the conditioned when I opened it today. Now I did open the set and open one of the cds before I noticed the damage so I doubt it's returnable. But I want you to know I am very disappointed in the condition upon opening. I was really, really looking forward to this gift.
dissapointedNovember 22, 2009 Mr. P. Frost(sussex england) 0 out of 8 found this review helpful
i caved in and decided to buy both sets as i am after all as a beatles fan.what gets me is the price of these sets.they dont come cheap!.i can see however why the mono sets are much more expensive.for a start they are made in japan where the quality is more pristine than the american sets.they even sound better than if they were made in uk/america...even the card sleeves etc are of a better quality.just one thing dissapoints me is i wish they would do an alternative version in a remixed stereo set as i still prefer alternative mixes to the original.songs like on ..submarine songbook sound awhole lot better than original mix.i still cant listen to stereo versions of paperback writer,slow down,long tall sally,flying etc..theres just no depth to these mixes.so until remix comes along its back to mono versions where appropriate.thats why i bought both so i can mix up all the good versions on my playlist and be reasonably happy.i dont care if they were to use compression on songs like i want to hold your hand(love album-great!)as this does in fact give alot more oomph!!!more balls of bass etc..more depth of sound!lets do this before fans really do lose interest.i can see why older fans (such as myself even) still want to rekindle that memory associated with the origina mix but after getting overt that i still crave for alterenative versions....
