BEATLES
Regular price
$58.00 AUD
Sold out
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. The Beatles catalog is getting the audiophile treatment! 180-gram vinyl pressings cut at Abbey Road Studios using the non-limited 24-bit digital masters sourced from the original master tapes!
"The Beatles are turning awfully funny, aren't they?" That was the reaction of the Queen Majesty herself upon hearing — or at least knowing of the existence — of Magical Mystery Tour, a wild romp through psychedelic pop that sprung from the same period as Sgt. Pepper's. While some mistakenly view the album as a half-complete soundtrack, the record spills over with fantastic music-"I Am the Walrus," "Hello Goodbye," "Penny Lane," and the unforgettable suite "Strawberry Fields Forever" leading the charge. Put on your rose-colored glasses.
For its Beatles' Stereo Albums series on LP, Capitol/Apple turned to a crack team of engineers to remaster the entire studio catalog from the original sources. The team, including Guy Massey, Steve Rooke and Sam Okell with Paul Hicks and Sean Magee undertook a four-year restoration process for the LP versions, combining state-of-the-art equipment, vintage studio gear and rigorous testing to meet the highest fidelity standards and produce authentic unsurpassed sound rivaling the original LPs. There is no longer any need to pay hundreds of dollars for Japanese pressings!
Listeners get a front-row seat for the pitch-shifted vocals and backwards percussion infusing John Lennon's landmark "Strawberry Fields Forever." A monumental composition, the song possesses a warmth, breadth, and spaciousness on this analog pressing that will knock back even the most schooled Beatles aficionados. And of course, who doesn't want to get caught up in the feel-good chants of "All You Need Is Love," the accenting horns and spiraling orchestrations popping with immense color and texture. There's reason why.
