Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of All Time - "Rain" - Rated 469/500!
This compilation album by The Beatles was originally released in 1988. Volume 1 covers 1962-1965 releases while Volume 2 covers 1965-1970.
The original Beatles catalogue has been digitally re-mastered for the first time for worldwide CD release. Each CD is packaged with replicated original UK album art, including expanded booklets containing original and newly written liner notes and rare photos.
The albums have been re-mastered by a dedicated team of engineers at EMIÂ’s Abbey Road Studios in London over a four year period utilizing state of the art recording technology alongside vintage studio equipment, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. The result of this painstaking process is the highest fidelity the catalogue has seen since its original release.
The stereo CD includes track listings and artwork as originally released in the UK. Within the CDÂ’s new packaging, booklet includes detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. These stereo CDs will be housed in an eco digi-pack with 14 page booklet.
"For the new remasters, the engineer went back to the original 1960's analog master tapes. Remastering is about working with, sharpening, amplifying, clarifying, and enhancing what are already the settled (or established) facts of the original mix. A listening session in early June at Electric Lady Studios in Manhattan confirmed that this is exactly what has been done. In A/B comparisons with the 1987 CD versions, the Beatles' records sounded more alive, more spirited, with greater dynamic range, and a new spaciousness that was very apparent... These new releases are an audiophile's dream - on good gear, they do sound much improved." - Robert Baird, Stereophile Magazine, October 2009, Vol. 32, No.
"The B side of 'Paperback Writer' was Lennon's response to people moaning about the wet British weather. It featured one of the earliest uses of backward tape, which Lennon said was the result of being stoned and spooling up the tape wrong. It also included virtuoso drumming from Ringo Starr. 'I feel as though that was someone else playing,' Starr said. 'I was possessed!'" - Rolling Stone
