Product Description |
|
The classic original Beatles studio albums have been re-mastered by a dedicated team of engineers at 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 Beatles catalogue has seen since its original release.
Within each CD's new packaging, booklets include detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. For a limited period, each CD will also be embedded with a brief documentary film about the album. The 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.

Some brilliant songs |
This album has some really high points, with the likes of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Yer Blues", "Back in the USSR", "Julia" and "Helter Skelter". But the others are only ok, and some songs on here have no real effort put into them. If you compare the songs on here to the other albums around at the time, like Hendrix, Doors, Stones, Dylan, Who and Floyd, you'll see that the White Album doesnt mantain the high standard like the others do. What they should have done is released a single LP with the real gems on it, and left the others for a rarity compilation disc for the future.
If your starting your Beatle experience, start with Sgt Pepper, Revolver, or Let it Be, but not with this, get this when you have heard a few of their other albums first.

I finally understand Revolution 9 |
This CD, sans the last four songs on disc 1, syncs perfectly with the Disney animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Revolution 9 begins when the witch presents the poison apple, her impending death and the revival of SW. You have to see this to believe it. It's absolutely brilliant, and Helter Skelter is hilarious! Chalk up another first for one of the most innovative bands to ever walk the planet.

WORST ALBUM EVER |
THE MAJORITY OF THIS ALBUM SUCKS
YOU CAN DIGITALLY REMASTER IT ALL YOU WANT, BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE BAD MUSIC ANY BETTER
HOWEVER, I DO LIKE: USSR, BIRTHDAY, AND GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS
BUT NOT WORTH BUYING A DOUBLE ALBUM TO GET THESE SONGS
SKIP THIS AND GO WITH THE #1 HITS |

Scratches On Discs |
OK, so I finally got around to listening to my 5 BEATLES CDs that I bought last September (this, Abbey Road, Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper). They're great; the only complaint I have is about the packaging.
For a person as OCD as I am, I can tell you that I absolutely FREAKED out when I noticed the cardboard packaging. Indeed, it is humanly impossible to remove the discs without scratching them slightly. However, I have overcome my fear by considering the fact that there is just no way around it. I have read some places where people suggest putting the CDs and booklets into jewel cases. I just can't bring myself to do that, I don't like the way it looks at all.
So I have decided I'm just going to live with the problem. Replacing minorly scratched CDs is expensive, and I can't do it. Please feel free to comment or follow up. |

Sound Quality Is Excellent |
Although not my favorite collection of the "Beatles" this CD has some very good, interesting music. The sound quality is fantastic.
Highly recommend. |
