The first four albums are in mono on the CDs, but were available both ways back in the '60s. After that, all the CDs are in stereo, though "Help" and "Rubber Soul" have new stereo mixes (new as in 20 years old now). All of the LPs up through '68 were also mixed for mono, though the White Album was only available in stereo in the US. The singles and EPs were mono-only up through "Get Back," though the MMT double-EP in the UK was available both ways.

But anyway, I just want to say (again), that what is taking so darn long to release remastered/restored albums after Rubber Soul?  ? This is ridiculous!!! Virtually all other important albums from decades past have remastered CDs by now, but the Beatles? No. They may have released the ones from the first half of their career as a band, but the best ones have yet to be released with beautiful sound quality.  Ugh, play Come Together on "1" and then on the 1987 CD "Abbey Road" immediately after. Pathetic, huh? Just imagine every song on Revolver, AR, TWA, etc. sounding as good as the ones on "1." You will find some purists that hate the way "1" sounds. I guess there's a lot of noise reduction used on it. Personally, I really enjoyed the "Yellow Submarine Songtrack" cd, although they screwed up "Eleanor Rigby" while trying to sync up the master tapes. Paul's vocal is lagging ever so slightly. Overall, the sound quality is eons better than the same songs on the original cd releases, or the vinyl for that matter. |

Some of the stores that were supposed to have the Beatles Rock Band did not have the game for preview. I went to my local store that was supposed to have the game. I asked an employee about it, he had no idea what I was talking about. He told me I had to wait until 09/09/09 to view the game. I told him about the flyer I got in the paper, He still did not believe me. He looked at the flyer and I had to show him that it said that there would be a demo of the game at the store. He talked to his supervisor who told us that they were supposed to get the game but did not. He said there were many stores that were supposed to get the game but did not
