New Beatles Box Sets

they are great. don't wait.....beatlemania as it was experienced in america......

the parlophone uk pressings are mastered from the george martin 1980's updates that were also used to create the cd's at that time. the original pressings(u.s. and u.k. were cut using different masters, even if the differences are not radical

the early beatle records were indeed bright,forward,shouty, and metalic. they were also brilliant. you have to enjoy these for what they were, and still are...the most important rock music ever made.

we can all agree, the fab four are still unbelievable. my memories of those 45's and albums blairing from a 'suitcase style' magnavox stereo. purchased from the proceeds of a returned trombone and failed music lessions, that stereo and those records were more than just great music, they literally changed our attitudes and daily behavior. i guess you had to be there to get the full effects. will somebody please do right by the dave clark 5 in this lifetime. have a 'wild weekend' everyone.

zaikesman-Rubber Soul is one of my favorites too.....its kinda they bridged what they had done and where about to do........rubber soul always sounds better starting with 'i've just seen a face'...the cuts left off the u.s. version ironically sound more at home on 'yesterday and today' which may be the greatest lp of odds and ends ever. an official 'butcher block' release would be nice. the dc5 were not in the same league, but they do deserve better preservation. dave clark was smart enough to own the music, and unfortunately, blind enough, to not allow a reasonable licensing deal.
