Re: A Swarm Of Recorded Beatles
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? smile Evan -Original Message- From: Dane Trethowan Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2014 9:15 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: A Swarm Of Recorded Beatles 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. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane
Re: A Swarm Of Recorded Beatles
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.
