Remastered Beatles Catalog Goes on Sale Today

Apple records & EMI released the re-mastered Beatles catalog today & fans are pony-ing up the $179+ in droves. Amazon sold out of pre-order supply last week. It's been interesting watching the anticipation. I expected some purists to give it a thumbs-down, since it's "not the original", but haven't seen one negative comment yet. Conclusion? The fans are desperate for anything they can get. I totally understand.

A team of audio engineers at Abbey Road Studios in London worked on and off for four years sprucing up the songs of the Fab Four. The release is being offered in both stereo & mono formats.

In 1987 the Beatles discography was released on CD for the first time, & fans complained that much of the music lacked the warmth of the original tunes (on vinyl). It doesn't look like that's going to be a problem with this release.

Oh yeah, the Beatles edition of Rock Band comes out today as well.

Viva la Beatles! You influenced my parents generation & beyond.
