Comments The promo to this box set is The Beatles - Remastered Box Set in Stereo - Sampler Comments on this set The entire Beatles back catalogue has been digitally re-mastered for the first time. Each CD comes packaged with album art replicated from the original UK releases, as well as expanded booklets containing both original and newly written liner notes and rare photos. An engineering team at Abbey Road Studios in London worked for four years to re-master the records, using state-of-the-art recording technology alongside vintage equipment. This collection comprises all 12 Beatles albums in stereo, with track listings and artwork as originally released in the UK, and Magical Mystery Tour, which became part of The Beatles core catalogue when the CD's were first released in 1987. In addition Past Masters Vol. I and II are now combined as one title, for a total of 14 titles over 16 discs. This is the first time that the first four Beatles albums have been available in stereo in their entirety on compact disc. These 14 albums, along with a DVD collection of the documentaries, is included in this stereo boxed set. Within each CD’s new packaging, booklets include detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. With the exception of the Past Masters set, 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.© 2009 David Laurie
