Re: US Albums Upcoming, mastered from the original master.

The nice thing about mastering vinyl from CD's is that it sounds a lot warmer, the way nature intended. All the compression inherent in the CD mastering process is magically reversed and the original waveforms reappear unaltered. Just don't try to look for proof of this in a spectrograph. It'll driv...

Re: US Albums Upcoming, mastered from the original master.

I received The Beatles Story for my eleventh birthday. At the time, my collection, and love for the band and their music, was just beginning. The brief interview segments on the album were fun, hearing their speaking voices. The 'story' was nice, too. Except for years I kept thinking Ringo's pre-Bea...

Re: US Albums Upcoming, mastered from the original master.

Does anyone need more issues of "The Beatles Story"? Good question. I suppose if someone on this forum were to do a demix/remix it'd generate some interest. Center the vocals, perhaps add some depth to the background orchestration, bring out stuff we'd never heard before. Maybe up-mix to ...

Re: US Albums Upcoming, mastered from the original master.

My bad, it's 7 albums in mono. Making 8LP's total. From https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/the-beatles-1964-us-albums-in-mono-vinyl-box/ The seven albums (The Beatles’ Story is a double) are as follows: Meet The Beatles! The Beatles’ Second Album A Hard Day’s Night (Original Motion Picture Soundtra...

Re: US Albums Upcoming, mastered from the original master.

What I am wondering is why " Capital/Apple " only puts the new box set on LP only and not issue it on CD for the fans that dont own turntables. In addition to the 7LP set soon-to-be-available on vinyl in mono, there...(all deleted, my mistake, there is no accompanying CD set.) As for the ...

Re: US Albums Upcoming, mastered from the original master.

I like the AHDN and Help! soundtracks albums. They are what I grew up with. When I first heard them, I had no inkling that these were not what they were listening to in Britain. Nor did I care, as I was only 8yrs old at the time I first heard them. It was only a few years later, while visiting frien...

That's the key right there. Nearly every remix so far has been done this way; with reference to the original.

Re: Looks intresting - Queen 1 Boxset, Picture Disc, Cassette & 7" Bundle

I saw this on the SDE website. It looks exactly like something that has been properly curated. The Dylan LIVE set from 1974, The Police Synchronicity set, and Neil Young's Archives also look good. It's a shame that Apple not only drops the ball, but wings it down the sewer.

Re: US Albums Upcoming, mastered from the original master.

Why only 7 mono vinyls when they could have included all 14? Either they are stopping with just the 7 mono vinyls,or another mono vinyl box set released for possibly next year. This mono vinyl set is the Capitol Beatles output from Jan, 1964 - March, 1965. It makes sense that another set might foll...
