Buy The Beatles Fan In Your Family One Of These Three Gifts
If there is a Beatles fan in your family & friends (even if it’s you) you must circle September 9, 2009 on the calander because that’s the day three incredible Beatles related gifts are being released. The stereo box, mono box, and Beatles Rock Band video game. In this article I’ll go into a little detail about what makes each of these things such a fantastic gift.
The Beatles Remastered Stereo Box Set
Every track The Beatles released from 1962 through 1970 in very high quality stereo. That’s all 13 UK albums from 1962′s Please Please Me through ’70′s Let It Be. And yes this is a great gift even if the Beatlemaniac in question already owns all of their albums on CD. Why? Because these CDs sound much better than the older discs.
These new CDs capture more of the original sound from the master tapes than do the old CDs. They allow for more details in the music to be heard and they have a “warmer” sound as well.
This is the perfect gift for any serious Beatles fans because this is what all of the real “purists” have been waiting for: Finally, the original mono mixes from the 1960s are available on CD. This is the first time that these orginal UK albums will be heard as they were originally intended to be heard by many younger Beatles fans!
Each of the band’s first 10 albums was mixed in mono and the band actually spent much more time working in mono than they did in stereo. The reason for that is that in the 1960s stereo was still a new concept and was thought to be something of a “fad.” Most people listened to mono at that time so it only made sense for them to concentrate on mono.
This is a great gift for any Beatles fan who also enjoys playing video games. But I must say that you don’t have to be a video game addict to like playing Rock Band. I hate games in general but I love playing this particular game.
If you have younger “gamers” in your family who don’t yet know or appreciate The Beatles music this may be a great way to get them into it.
