Guest Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Does anyone have any information if this is happening? I'd like to pick up the whole box set of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kevinb Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 i could only imagine how insane the price would be for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I would too. There are rumors of it happening in November possibly, but no solid facts yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'm down to pay, I don't own any Beatles on vinyl so it would be a good opportunity to get them all in one shot. They sound absolutely amazing even as MP3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleevanswastaken Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Go to a used record store or two, you can grab all of these records for pennies compared to what you will pay for these remastered cash grabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. All the used stores I've seen them in have them for incredibly inflated prices, even if they are in shit condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know where you can get these for pennies, or you could be a doll and pick them up for me wherever you saw them at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonesomexloveus Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 i'm slowly stealing all my mom's beatles albums from her, but she would love to get this for me for christmas if/when it comes out prior to then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. All the used stores I've seen them in have them for incredibly inflated prices, even if they are in shit condition. Masters are also done using the UK pressings. Back in the day US law prevented all the tracks form appearing on the albums in most cases plus any Beatles guru will tell you that those pressings sounded 100 times better then any US pressing. Might really be worth picking up a re-master, I know I will for at least 2 albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 i wish i could find their LPs for pennies. most of them are priced 15 - 25 used and most of them are in awful condition. a box set it exists but it already goes for a couple hundred bucks on ebay.

gumbercules Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 i don't know why used poor condition copies are priced so high. it's not like these records were not readily available for 3 decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjaicomo Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Great, another way to pay $25 for a LP I could buy for $3 at any record shop in the country. Oh, wait, they were remastered? Ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexH. Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Man, I never see used copies anywhere for reasonable prices. Someone sell me Revolver for less than $10, otherwise I'll probably get the remasters when they're available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 doubt this will happen for a long time. ive read a lot of interviews with the people who worked on these current cd remasters and they were very clear that these were specifically mastered for cds. they said if they ever released them digitally (itunes) they would have a complete new remaster process to have them specifically for digital outlets. they said this worried them because they know that a huge number of people will be experiencing the new remasters by ripping them to their computers and hearing compressed files and that is not how these should be listened to. so if digital files and cds are that much different to them, imagine how much work and time would go into remastering the vinyl.

AlexH. Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 But maybe, just maybe, they were secretly mastering for vinyl all along while they were mastering the CDs. Also, how much difference can the mastering make when listening to MP3s vs. CDs? It's still a digital file, compressing it is going to lose some fidelity, but I don't see how you'd need to master it differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonix Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I would love to get the remasters on vinyl.. but I've been given most of the original pressings through former vinyl collectors getting rid of their collection.. its pretty sweet to own them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a digital file, compressing it is going to lose some fidelity, but I don't see how you'd need to master it differently. really not sure exactly. but they seemed pretty sure about it. its all about how these cds are the most uncompressed of any beatles releases ever. and the vinyl was super compressed back in the sixties. and of course mp3s are compressed so in their eyes (or more accurately, ears) mp3s ruin the sound of the remastered cds. the folks over at apple and abbey road agree that if they are going to release the beatles records they need to spend years remastering them for the specific medium they are being released in. and you know beatles enthusiasts would have a fit if it was dont any differently.

Second, it isnt hard to find an older cheaper copy of a beatles record online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scully Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 It's refreshing to hear people actually care about the sound of CDs, mp3s and vinyl. If it takes them another year to release the LPs then so be it as long as they sound great. I bought most of the CD reissues and they sound awesome.
