Title: If you love vinyl, BUY The Beatles Red & Blue!
Review: Short and to the point review:Buy it, itâs The Beatles. Wonderful vinyl sound.Long and meandering review:I bought the Beatles Red/Blue Vinyl on pre-order Nov 10, 2023. I have an audiophile vinyl setup for listening and recording in 192Khz/32-bit float. After having recorded The Beatles Masters from 1988 last year, Iâm impressed with the lower groove noise on these new mixes/pressing. I canât hear too much difference with the earlier pre 1964 remixes but when âDay Tripperâ came on, I could definitely hear a âlargerâ sound. FYI: every song on the Blue and Red Vinyl has been remixed from the original recordings. The engineers in England and Germany did a wonderful job on the remix, pressing and packaging.Magical Mystery Tour. There is a guitar playing I have never heard before. Blew me away. This was the first Beatles album I had in 1967 from my brother. I listened to this 1967 pressing, the Master recordings from 1988 and the digital copy I have. No guitar. This remix is wonderful! I have listened to all 12 sides multiple times and love em all. Especially the Blue album Side 3. Has a lot of rockers on it and the end of Blue Side 2 has âRevolutionâ, an all-out a** kicker! I also like that all the singles that were not on the Beatles Masters are here. Surprisingly, I even like some of the cuts I didnât care much for in the past like âOld Brown Shoe.â Probably the crappy mix and pressing back in 1970.Since stereo records and FM stereo transmission are the same 50Hz â 15KHz, the gear I selected to listen and record the vinyl matches those frequencies perfectly. Donât confuse frequency response to harmonics that are generated at the time of recording/playing. Vinyl has that ability that early digital systems lacked. Thatâs why early digital mixes sounded rather cold. With the higher frequency sampling and bit rate that is available now for recording vinyl or live, Iâm not sure there is a difference anymore.I remixed to 44KHz/24-bit for my phone and it sounds great also. This probably is where most people will use their turntables digital to computer interfaces. Streams great to my blue-tooth speaker and my car stereo. Unsure if any of us can tell the difference at this high of a sampling rate. I finally have a system that I can properly digitally record vinyl on, and the digital playback from the Zoom UAC-232 at 192/32 sounds indistinguishable from the vinyl recording. I started with digital at the turn of the century and am finally there. I have always recorded my vinyl on the first play starting with reel-to-reel, cassettes and then digital.Iâm probably preaching to the choir here but perhaps I gave some new ideas to try out. Hope you enjoy these records as much as I have.Retired Military Aerospace and Industrial Manufacturing Engineer.

Title: So Many Memories
Review: I was planning to say there was not much to say. But then, I am. 73 year old black man, recently retired who grew up on The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Motown, The Four Tops, Jeff Beck and The Rolling Stones. I was a reader and a thinker and basketball player and ardent chess player. The Beatles were everything to me, my mind and my sensibilities. Subtle, complex, slick and yet silly, multicultural and simple at times. They were so important to my being, my mind and my soul. Born in 1951, they helped me to realize that I mattered. Being complex, complicated, unique and yet as simple Doctor Dolittle or Mary Poppins. The Beatles were a vindication of my mind and my soul. And in a way, my California-ness. Being different and complex was not a bad thing. Thank you John, Paul, George, Ringo, Brian and Mr. George Martin. You amplified my soulâ¦

Title: Beatles fan starter kit
Review: I've never been a huge fan of The Beatles, but I have enjoyed many of the individual members' solo works.I had the Beatles' "1" album which was a decent compilation but the sound quality wasn't too much better than the original releases and it's hard for me to really give music a shot when it sounds so dated.This new 2023 edition of the "Blue" anthology album is the most comprehensive compilation of those years and the best they've ever sounded. A friend of mine on social media is the biggest fan of The Beatles I've ever seen anywhere and he encouraged me to grab these new editions of the Red and Blue anthology albums and I was absolutely stunned at how fresh and vibrant this music sounds. I have listened to this several times and my appreciation for the Beatles has skyrocketed, and I'm confident it will do the same for anyone who purchases it. The new song "Now and Then" began as a solo song by John Lennon and was given to Paul and Ringo by Yoko Ono and has been reworked into a Beatles song (known to be the final "new" song from the band) and I think it's an excellent addition to this fantastic collection.

Title: The sound quality was "wow!"
Review: This is the best sound quality in which I heard these familiar tunes. All of the instruments and vocals are now well-articulated. Nothing is lost or overpowered in the mixdown anymore. It makes the eyes very moist. It is as if one looked through a dirty window all of one's life, and then the window was suddenly cleaned to reveal a startlingly beautiful view of the world. I heard nuances probably heard only by the recording engineers. Ringo's drums are crisp and powerful. Paul's contra-melodies on base are clear. The vocals of John and Paul are exciting. Geroge's brilliant chords are clear and bright. For the record, I used an Oppo CD/DVD/Blu-ray player, Radio Shack 100 watt per channel receiver, and RTR EV15 speakers. Buy this without hesitation. It is life transformative. This is a wonderful time in which to be alive. It is alright to shed a tear at the brilliant "new" track, Now and Then. Thank heaven for the four of them.

Title: The Remixed Blue Album Rocks
Review: While I own all of the box sets from Sgt. Pepper's on, the new version of the Blue album (which includes 9 news songs added to this collection) is spot on. The new remixes (2023 one's) really boost the bass and bring the drums out, which were usually buried in the original mixes. Revolution shines, while I Am The Walrus sparkles and confuses you with its nonsense words (heard as clear as they ever have) and puzzles you at the end when the dubbed in radio shows are mixed louder than in the original. An unfortunate part of the new process that might bug fans of the original. The addition of Hey Bulldog is welcomed and an all out rocker that is more of less a deep track that needs to brought out into the open. The original collection of songs all have crisp, clean mixes that brighten up the vocals and bring out the instrumentation. If you need an introduction into the Late Period Beatles, this is it.

Review: This 2 cd set is a very nice collection of Beatles songs from this time frame. It has given me recordings of some of my favorite songs that were not on albums that I already have. The recording quality is very good.

Review: Algumas surpresas como as entradas limpas de Dear Prudence e A Day In the Life (apesar de esta última ja anteriormente disponÃvel no compacto da Capitol de 1978 Sgt peppers/ With a Little help/A day In the Life). Mixagens mais claras como em Magical Mystery Tour que ficaram boas. A nova musica com a participação dos 4 beatles "Now and Then", que foi uma boa surpresa, mas pode ser adquirida via compacto ou maxi single. Acredito que a versão anterior deste LP em um álbum duplo de coletâneas de 1973 atenda muito bem seu objetivo e com um preço mais razoável. Nova remixagem de " I Am The Walrus" realmente, na minha opinião, um desastre para uma pessoa que tem ouvido esta canção a 50 anos. Old Brown Shoe também prefiro a anterior. Disco adicional poderia ter tido escolhas melhores no lugar, por exemplo, de I Me Mine, Within You Without You. Havia opçoes no Album Branco ( sexy Sadie, I Am so Tired, Happiness is a Warm Gun) , no Abbey Road ( Sun King, Because) e no próprio Let It be (Two Of Us), mas aparentemente tiveram que incluir mais algumas do George por alguma questão interna . A Apple também poderia ter caprichado um pouco mais colocando um booklet com fotos e informações mais completas. Para colecionares e pessoas que curtem os Fab4 desde os anos 70 um disco a mais na prateleira, mas talvez para novos ouvintes dos Beatles e não familiarizados seja um opção. Beatles sempre merece 5 estrelas, mas dou apenas 4 estrelas por que a Apple poderia ter feito coisa melhor com o material que possuem na mão.
