The New Beatles Remasters

The original Beatles CD's were languishing on the shelves since 1987 without a spiffy new remaster or repackaging. The Rolling Stones and Dylan seem to remaster their CD's every four or five years, so the absence of new Beatles product has been a glaring omission. According to a few sources, great care has been taken to preserve the integrity of the 1960's original sessions and recording techniques. The only sound flaws that have been eliminated are tape hiss and clumsy edits. No attempt has been made to put a modern gloss on what many would consider sacred recordings.
