Also on 09/09/09.... The entire Beatles catalog will be re-released, digitally remastered! ALL 13 Beatles albums have been digitally remastered from original session tapes at Abbey Road studios by Paul Hicks, son of the Hollies' Tony Hicks; 40-year-old Guy Massey; and Giles Martin, 39, son of legendary Beatles producer George Martin.
This is awesome.Click on quote for source said:For the new catalog remasters, the team employed modern technology to revamp the catalog. When originally converted to the CD format, Massey notes, the catalog was more or less transferred "flat," with little equalization adjustment. "Digital was in its infancy in the mid-'80s," he says. "In the 20 years since, digital technology has come forward in leaps and bounds."
The new "archive" transfers offer a powerful new listening experience as they contain more sonic content, transferred at 192 Mhz/24 bit -- all of which has always been present on the original masters, though unavailable for fans to hear due to the limitations of the earlier technology.
The team also used technology such as Cedar Audio's Cambridge restoration software to carefully remove flaws such as mic pops, hum and harsh edits -- anything non-Beatle-related -- on the recordings, while leaving in original quirks like squeaks from Ringo's bass drum pedal on 1963's "All I've Got to Do."
you do know sony owns the beatles music and they're pushing to have free radio start chargeing for you to hear it.
