Ahh, I did not know you were a broadcaster. That definitely puts a different
light on things.

I would pay very little for artists I really like now I have iTunes and I
buy from other sites on the Internet that deal with FLAC files etc, as I do
Radio work what I like is completely immaterial as compared to what the
listeners like or don't like so - whatever the noise - I have to have it on
hand <smile>.

Hmmm, $375 sounds like a lot of bread for recordings of what you call "one
big noise." What would you pay for recordings of artists you really liked?

Hi!
Today is the 50th anniversary of the Beatles tour down under though some
might argue its the 50th Anniversary since the Day Music Died, I'm of the
view that The Beatles were just one big noise the 20th century could have
done without but putting that aside I have to admit that - if you get the
right stuff - some of the recordings made of The Beatles are quite
stunning.
I have 2 sets of Beatles material which I refer to whenever I'm feeling
gloomy and must listen to Beatles material, the first is the "Masters" CD
collection which was released in 1995 or there abouts, there are 18 CD'S
in the set and they come in a mini writing desk type box, yep its made out
of wood and all, cost me $375 at the time but it was well worth the money.
The other set I have is the "Masters" in high resolution FLAC format, even
better quality than the CD set I mentioned above.
And - if you don't have a CD player or couldn't be bothered to look where
to buy the high resolution FLAC set - then iTunes offers a very good
substitute, the "Masters" in AAC+ which still sounds acceptable in my
lounge room.
Its unfortunate that there are so many dreadful Beatles recordings out
there - even on CD - so you really have to know what to look for, my guess
is that a lot of company's - 20 years ago - just wanted to get the
material out there, remastered from old tapes and didn't really give a
damn about the quality of the finished product.
