Sourced From The Original Master Tapes And Cut At Abbey Road Studios
Pressed On 180-Gram Vinyl
THE BEATLES ON VINYL DONE RIGHT!
For years the most anticipated vinyl reissues have been from the one, the only Beatles catalog. Finally, after a delay due to the meticulousness of the remastering process and assorted other hurdles, that day has come. Look for the start of shipping of The Beatles Stereo Box Set and individual titles beginning Nov. 13!
These titles update the Beatles classic albums, which have continued to sell strongly and attract new generations of fans long after the quartet disbanded in 1970. For this reissue, individual titles were sourced from the original master tapes. Then each title was copied into 24-bit/192 kHz files and cut to lacquer at Abbey Road Studios. It was a painstaking process with maximum attention paid to every detail.
The soundtrack for the Beatles ill-fated British television special embellished the six songs that were found on the British Magical Mystery Tour double EP with five other cuts from their 1967 singles. The psychedelic sound is very much in the vein of Sgt. Peppers, and even spacier in parts. Unlike Sgt. Peppers, theres no vague overall conceptual unity to the material, which has made Magical Mystery Tour suffer slightly in comparison. Still, the music is mostly great, and Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields Forever, All You Need Is Love, and Hello Goodbye were all huge, glorious, and innovative singles. The ballad The Fool on the Hill, though only a part of the Magical Mystery Tour soundtrack, is also one of the most popular Beatles tunes from the era. ~ Richie Unterberger
