Brilliant! Just Brilliant!

Well, I finally received this box set last week and I'm now up to The Beatles (The White Album). This was a brilliant idea to remaster these masterpieces!!! I have never heard the Beatles like this before. The sound is so clear and much much better than the original recordings. If you have the American versions of the Beatles records, then you'll know what an embarrassment they are with the false stereo. An example of this is Roll Over Beethoven. You can hear an echo on the American version. Listen to this remastered version and it is clear as a bell, no echo, nothing just pure sound. The entire Beatles catalogue is like this. This box set includes all 13 studio albums and a double disc of the Past Masters Vol. I and II CDs. Each CD has a mini-documentary at the end. Just insert into your computer and watch. There is an additional DVD of all the mini-documentaries as well. This set was very well planned out to provide the fans with one brilliant Beatles set that will knock your socks off.Each CD has been carefully remastered and packaged with a three-fold cover. Each CD includes a booklet about the making of the album and historical notes. Each booklet also includes pictures neer before seen in both color and black and white. The Beatles (The hite Album) is really impressive. They have made it exactly as the original LP vinyl release. It is a four-fold fold out jacket. This remaster also includes a booklet of historical notes and the making of the album along with the lyrics. Do you remember the four individual pictures of the Beatles? Well, in the fold out cover of this beautifully remastered work are the pictures. Thic CD also includes a mini-poster of the original poster of the collage on one side and the lyrics to the songs on the other side.The entire collection, not only individually packaged, is packaged as a whole with a shiny, black flip-top box with the words "The Beatles" centered in white. Below is a picture of an apple to signify "Apple Records". I have been totally blown away by this collection. Once you hear these remastered works in true stereo, you'll never want to listen to the original CD again. I have also ordered the mono box set which I will be picking up from the post office tomorrow. I am quite sure that the mono box set, which does not have the last 3 Beatles albums, is just as brilliant as the stereo set. The reason for the last 3 albums excluded is because they were not recorded in mono.If you're a Beatles fan, this is one set that is a must. If you want to replace your Beatles collection with a better sound, then this collection is for you. This is one collection that I have to say is very much well worth the money.
