I'm a little surprised that nobody has posted about this yet (at least not that I could find), but the Beatles are reissuing their entire catalog on September 9. What do you all think? Excited? Indifferent? Ticked off that EMI will make us buy the stereo and mono albums separately (if you're geeky enough to want both stereo and mono)?
I'm a pretty big Beatles nerd, and already have their entire discography on CD (as well as most of their vinyl), but I may be compelled to pick up at least "Pepper," "Revolver," and "Abbey Road" (about all I can afford at this point). I'm a little curious as to how much "improved" the sound will be, if it is indeed improved. I hope that these reissues aren't a ripoff, and the sound isn't simply compressed and made louder under the guise of "improved" sound (as seems to be the case with a lot of "remastered" albums these days).
Anyway, I don't want to pretend to be a big audiophile, because I'm really not. Any thoughts out there about these Beatles reissues? Curious to hear what your thoughts are...
