Yes, I'm referring to the new Remastered Stereo Box Set of The Beatles. Since it's not yet available here in the country, I'm now contemplating whether to get a credit card so that I could buy it online, which is actually sold at a lesser price, or so it says. I'm expecting it to hit around PhP10k-15k here, but on Amazon.com, it says that the box set is being sold at around $180 from the usual price of $260. But, of course, there will be some added expenses for the shipping and handling.
Anyway, I'm committing a big, big sin right now... I'm currently downloading the entire box set mp3's via torrent. I... just... can't...help... it... I just wanted to check out if the mix used in the remasters for "I am the Walrus" is the same one from the LOVE mash-up remix album. And the answer is no: the remasters still has the same mix used in 1967 where the 2nd half of the song still switches to fake stereo, but since it is now remastered, it sounds much, MUCH better. Ad then I went ahead to download the entire box set...
But I WILL most definitely buy the box set soon. I promise.
And hopefully, I can get the Mono Box Set, too. It's much more expensive (around $300, ouch!) because it's more of a collector's item. But unfortunately, I don't have more money to spend on it. But I also want that one. So, hopefully... yeah.
I've been a big Beatlefan since time immemorial and I am still crazy about their music. I would listen to other bands and other forms of music but at the end of the day, so to speak, I would still come home to the music of the Fab Four. They are still the best.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. :D
