I have The Joshua Tree 2 disc deal. It is a pretty nice package. I would like to have the box that came out with the earlier albums, but have not bought it yet. I think it is still around 70 dollars at Amazon.

I was wondering about that myself.

I have not read all of this (yet)- but it looks like there are some answers here: Help (a pretty lengthy breakdown - track by track) A 1987 interview with George Martin by Allan Kozinn Fest for Beatles fans sheds light on remasters Wog Blog

The stereo mixes we are hearing now were done by George Martin in the 1980s.

I was able to go backstage at the show and meet him. He did not want to be bothered at the time. The people I was with sort of pushed the issue. Looking back, I can see that we were wrong to bother him.

Usually, people seem to write off the early stuff and begin to say everything was great starting with Rubber Soul. Of course, we had a different tracklist. And we got Yesterday and Today.

Libby or Penny?

The White Album was the last Beatles album to be mixed both in mono and stereo. I believe by 1968 stereo was becoming the norm, not the exception.

He does not like the mix of the album. I figured that was going to happen when it did not come out with the other (non-ABKCO) re-masters a while back.

I was wondering if they were new or old. I don't think I recall hearing those songs.

That's a hoot.

I would be surprised if the Stones had much to do with this release, as it is among the albums owned by ABKCO. I guess they have to sign off on it somewhere along the line. I think this list is right:

I saw that on Rolling Stone.com (and forgot about it): I think we are going to see a release like this with the Exile On Main Street album.

I am curious to hear what those two new songs sound like, but I am not paying for Mp3 files.

I think if someone is not use to listening to mono tracks, then it is just going to sound weird. I would say it is a dead format, but Paul Westerberg put out a mono album a few years ago. So, it it not completely dead. I love stereo as much as the next person, but some things are just meant to be heard in mono. One of my favorite periods of music is the so-called British Invasion era, so even though I am not as old as M Chris, I sort of grew up listening to mono tracks. And as some of those articles have pointed out, people are mostly listening to music by way of Mp3/Mp3 players these da

Some pretty darn good questions and maybe answers: Controversies Surrounding The Beatles Remasters I am listening to FLAC files of Help, which has long been one of my favorite Beatles albums. My first thought is that is a bit bright sounding. I actually prefer the order of the songs on the US version. (Yes, I know that leaves certain songs out.) I should probably just buy the Capitol boxes.

Thanks for posting. Just yesterday, I was thinking it had been a while since I had looked at his various sites. I am looking for some information about the new songs. Some new songs/videos. There is also a video about mastering a record album.

He is also writing a column for something called The Awl.

Yes, and now maybe they can get past Garth Brooks.
