No wreszcie! śmy się naczekali normalnie
Otwieram se skrzynkę, zwyczajnie,jak co dzień... A tu taki nius, taki nius!
We are delighted to announce the release of the original Beatles catalogue,
which has been digitally re-mastered for the first time, for worldwide CD
release on Wednesday, September 9, 2009 (09-09-09), the same date as the
release of the widely anticipated "The Beatles: Rock Band" video game.
Each of the CDs is packaged with replicated original UK album art, including
expanded booklets containing original and newly written liner notes and rare
photos. For a limited period, each CD will also be embedded with a brief
documentary film about the album. On the same date, two new Beatles boxed CD
collections will also be released.
The albums have been re-mastered by a dedicated team of engineers at EMI's
Abbey Road Studios in London over a four year period utilising state of the
art recording technology alongside vintage studio equipment, carefully
maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue
recordings. The result of this painstaking process is the highest fidelity the
catalogue has seen since its original release.
The collection comprises all 12 Beatles albums in stereo, with track listings
and artwork as originally released in the UK, and 'Magical Mystery Tour,'
which became part of The Beatles' core catalogue when the CDs were first
released in 1987. In addition, the collections 'Past Masters Vol. I and II'
are now combined as one title, for a total of 14 titles over 16 discs. This
will mark the first time that the first four Beatles albums will be available
in stereo in their entirety on compact disc. These 14 albums, along with a DVD
collection of the documentaries, will also be available for purchase together
in a stereo boxed set.
Within each CD's new packaging, booklets include detailed historical notes
along with informative recording notes. With the exception of the 'Past
Masters' set, newly produced mini-documentaries on the making of each album,
directed by Bob Smeaton, are included as QuickTime files on each album. The
documentaries contain archival footage, rare photographs and
never-before-heard studio chat from The Beatles, offering a unique and very
personal insight into the studio atmosphere.
A second boxed set has been created with the collector in mind. 'The Beatles
in Mono' gathers together, in one place, all of the Beatles recordings that
were mixed for a mono release. It will contain 10 of the albums with their
original mono mixes, plus two further discs of mono masters (covering similar
ground to the stereo tracks on 'Past Masters'). As an added bonus, the mono
"Help!" and "Rubber Soul" discs also include the original 1965 stereo mixes,
which have not been previously released on CD. These albums will be packaged
in mini-vinyl CD replicas of the original sleeves with all original inserts
and label designs retained.
