Buying the Beatle albums again?
By TennesseeConcerts editor Pat Adams.
Written on December 24, 2009
Since the early 1960's, I have been buying Beatles albums on LP's, tapes and CD's. I find myself buying
the albums once again; this time on newly remastered CD's. My first of these newly remastered Beatles
CD's is "With The Beatles," a Christmas present to myself. The British version of "With The Beatles"
has many of the same songs as the American version "Meet The Beatles," which was the first Beatles
music I ever listened to as a kid.
I can remember my brother and I taking our "Meet The Beatles" album with us when visiting my
grandparents at their Belle Meade home, shortly after buying it in 1964. After playing it on my
grandmothers old Victrola (as she called it), I can't help but remember my grandfather complaining that
The Beatles were singing the same lyrics over and over. He also swore the Beatles were wearing wigs,
refusing to think that men could have hair that long. My grandmother was a little more understanding of
The Beatles. After all, she was a pianist herself.
I was like millions of other kids caught up in Beatlemania when "Meet The Beatles" came out. Needless
to say, we wore that album out. In 1987, The Beatles albums were first released on CD. Unfortunately,
the first four CD's were in mono on the original CD's, including "With The Beatles."
I plan to buy these first four albums on the new remastered Stereo CD's first. On "With The Beatles,"
I can tell a huge difference between the mono recordings from the original CD and the stereo
remastered recordings on the new CD. The vocals and music are so much clearer and crisper as well
as the stereo separation of the speakers. To me, that's about as good as it gets when it comes to
listening to good music.
I love my new CD. The liner notes tell you about the recordings as well as who played what instruments
on what songs. Except for the cover picture, the pictures in the insert are rare pictures of The Beatles.
This CD, as well as all of the new remastered CD's includes a
mini-documentary on the making of the album, narrated by John,
Paul, George, Ringo and George Martin. These are enhanced
files for playing in your computer.
Unfortunately my grandparents are no longer around for me to drive crazy with the latest versions of these
songs, so now I drive my grandkids crazy with them. Just kidding, I have no grandkids, and if I did, they had
better be Beatles fans. So no matter how many times you have bought the Beatles albums, I suggest you buy
them just one more time. Relive these songs as you've never heard them before. If "With The Beatles"
is any indication of how well the new Beatles remastered CD's sound, I give it a thumbs up.
I will be reviewing the rest of The Beatles newly remastered CD's as I buy them in the coming year.

| I recently read this read Chicken Soup For The Soul The Story Behind The Song. It includes the inspiration and exclusive personal stories behind 101 of your favorite songs. The stories in this book ware mostly written by the songwriters. In some cases where the songwriter is no longer around, the story is told by a friend or family member. I learned a lot about some of my favorite songs. I hiope to see more of these books in the future with even more songs. This is a very cool book that is hard to put down.
