Vinyl albums for Christmas
Don’t tell anyone, but word on the rumour mill is remastered Beatles vinyl albums box for the Christmas market. Rumored releases dates have been November 5th (6th in the USA?), but also December 4th. These are the stereo editions. Past Masters will be included. The boxed set will be limited edition, and the albums will also be made available individually. So: Remember the fifth of November….
Update: Why the delays?
I'd love to see them reproduced exactly like the originals, not like the records I bought in the seventies and later.
My guess is they go for upscaled versions of the stereo CD digipacks.
It wouldn't be bad either.
In this case we can expect a mono box reproducing the originals as they were: wrap-around covers with flaps outside and the white album's open top cover, etc…
But I'm afraid it will cost a lot more.
Its not on the website anymore…
