How many is there actually of these Re-mastered Beatles Albums, I've counted 15 now.

 

 

And I want re-mastered Police Albums, now those I would definitely buy.

Do believe the hype. :lol:

 

The Beatles Rock Band Mash-Up Trailer

Nowadays I don't mind the beatles, but I downloaded the re-mastered White Album and it was no different to the version I already have? :blink:

tbh i might just buy the beatles rock band just so i can do Twist and Shout on vocals and go all Ferris Bueller.

 

well tbh I want TB:RB but the full package is like £180 I just dont think its worth it, I might buy Rock Band because I want it anyway and then buy TB:RB after another pay.

No, but my dad is buying them. He loves The Beatles.

I don't believe the CD's are available to buy until Wednesday.

 

 

Our Tesco definitely had Sgt. Pepper and Revolver yesterday as I was looking at them!

were they the remastered ones though? they were probaly selling the older versions to jump on the cash machine early.

Definitely the re-masters as I was reading the back!! They'd loads of Sgt. Pepper but only 2 of Revolver.

Listening to Come Together, the new remaster has a bit more crispness if you listen REALLY closely but this might be a limitation of mp3 rather than anything else.

 

Probably you need to compare the original CDs to get the differences.

 

I'm not buying any of them as I have all of them on CD or vinyl already.

Despite ASDA, WH Smith, Tesco, & Sainsbury's ALL haviing Beatles

Re-Masters in their In-Store Charts, it turns out that they really are

not on Sale until Tomorrow! So, they've put Albums in their Sales

Chart that cannot - yet - be bought! (What that says about those

In-Store Charts, is another matter!).

The supermarket charts have never been about sales, just about pushing the latest releases.

The surviving Beatles stars are set for a bumper $1.6 billion pay day, following a slew of re-released records and a new Fab Four-inspired video game.

 

Sir Paul MCCartney and Ringo Starr teamed up with John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, to approve the use of the band's music in new game Beatles: Rock Band, which goes on sale later this year.

 

Beatles fans will also be able to get their hands on remastered versions of 13 of the Fab Four's albums as a $272 (£170) boxset, as well as digital tracks which will soon be available to download through iTunes.

 

The new projects are set to make 2009 the group's highest-earning year ever, with experts predicting a massive $1.6 billion profit.

 

Brand expert Jonathan Gabay tells British newspaper the Daily Record, "In one masterstroke, they address falling sales of CDs as well as grab a new generation of Beatlemaniacs."

'NME' are doing 13 different Covers!

I know what you mean, I'd love it too, but it's just too much money for all the gear. Do Singstar mikes work on it? I already have that...

I hope they don't clog up the charts, I'm not a Beatles fan. Still, the band is probably better then the insects :kink:

They deserve it as much as Michael Jackson has recently.

Beatles music is miles better

 

From today's Financial Times,

 

EMI has shipped 5m remastered CD recordings by The Beatles to retail stores as it looks to the band that helped define the rock and roll album to stem the format's decline in the age of the single track download.

 

Pre-sales indicated that today's re-release of all 13 UK Beatles albums was on track to be "the biggest catalogue reissue ever conducted in the history of the music business", Ernesto Schmitt, head of EMI's global catalogue business, told the Financial Times.

 

The first 50,000 box sets of mono versions of the recordings have sold out, at a price of £170. "That's a pretty courageous price point at a time when everybody wants music to be free," Mr Schmitt said.

 

:nocheer: @ the prospect of my worst nightmares coming true and these albums clogging up the top end of the charts

The article at http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/ca3d0620-9cd7-11...144feabdc0.html is written by a reporter called Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson in New York. It seems that 5m remastered CDs and 50,000 mono boxsets were shipped throughout the world prior to release.

I was in Morrison's on monday morning and they had Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road and Rubber Soul but I didn't have enough money on me to get them and I wanted to start from the beginning and get Please Please Me anyway. My brother went in about half an hour later and said they had been taken off the shelves. I went back today to have a look and they didn't have a single Beatles CD in the store :huh:

Wasn't going to bother but went for Abbey Road for £9.50 in Tesco.

 

Incidentally am I right in thinking that HMV had cards on display on Monday saying the CDs were £9.99 each?? Because they seemed to have increased by £1 each by lunchtime today...
