Beatles Music
Rlwainwright: That link you typed in above does not work. I tried it several times. All I get is "this page can not be displayed". I then went to www.demonoid.com to try and access it that way and my PC went crazy typical of when a virus hits. I immediately shut it down and waited 30 secs. So for so good but I have to run a virus check as well as spyware check to make sure. Are you sure that's a safe site? Could be just my PC. Just want to be safe. Thanks. |
The normal CDs available here in the USA are almost unlistenable - sound quality varies from poor to horrible (Sgt. Peppers). I bought them all in the late 80s and could not finish one. I did buy Japanese import Sgt. Peppers & Revolver from Red Trumpet Music 3-4 years ago and they sound excellent. Red Trumpet is out of business. I think if you find Japanese imports of Beatles's records, you'd have some good sounding music. |
You have to decide whether you believe that the mono or stereo releases best captured the intention of the group and Martin in the studio. As for sound quality, the early 80's Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs LP box set is arguably the best (they are stereo releases). As for CD, I do not know whether there are particularly distinguished releases. |
Just for fun, go to Demonoid.com, click on "Torrents", and then choose the Category "Music" from the dropdown, and then enter "Beatles DTS" in the Keywords box. You will then be presented with a rather extensive list of Beatles albums that have been "re-mixed" into 5.1 and 5.0 surround sound. Some of these albums sound absolutely amazing! And the price can't be beat. Give it a go, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised... Here's a link that takes you right to the list of albums: http://www.demonoid.com/files/?category=2&subcategory=0&quality=0&seeded=0&external=2&query=Beatles+DTS&uid=0&sort= -RW- |
the capitol cd versions are the mixes most american kids remember from the sixties and seventies, so the boxes are pretty cool. the quality of the japanese import versions(of the capitol boxes) is even better. the mfsl vinyl and newer japanese lp pressings are cool too. its pretty hard to go wrong.... |
