Did anyone read in the current Rolling Stone, Neil Aspinall and Apple have announced that the complete Beatles catalog will be remastered? Maybe we will soon have yet another version to choose from. They made no mention of timing or what formats will be supported but the music will be available on line for the first time. Happy Listening! |
"Did anyone read in the current Rolling Stone, Neil Aspinall and Apple have announced that the complete Beatles catalog will be remastered?" Look out Lookout now, do not swallow the hype. The Music cannot be improved or brought back to its original sound quality. You cant possibly think that any crap you can download on line will be anything but worse then what we already have. Sgt. Pepper was recorded on a four track machine. The equipment used to make the original master tapes was all analogue. It just can't be done anyway but wrong. This is not opinion "any new recording remastered or not cannot accurately reproduce what was the Beatles intentions.The work that George Martin did in colaboration with the Beatles on the Mono Mixes was the sound the Beatles wanted. After the mono mixes were finished stereomixing was left to the hands of George Martin and John, Paul and George were pretty much done- Ken Scott Ken Scott goes on to say(he started as an engineer on Rubber Soul, before that he was a studio gopher) that he would not have had it any other way. The education he got learning to work within and around the studios limits was what gave them the sound everybody wanted. It was pretty much run the limiters full treble, full bass pin the needles and use your ears. I would rather listen to the Mystic Moods Orchestra do the Lennon McCartney Songbook then any downloaded lossy compressed penny pinching accountants dream come true. There was once a time when the Beatles controlled every detail of the sounds we heard.
