I just bought the Beatles in mono a couple weeks ago. It was literally the best 200 dollars I have ever spent on music. their stuff was seriously supposed to be listened to in mono. Mostly just because 80% of the stereo mixes are super annoying to listen to on headphones and even speakers sometimes.

Not to mention it is the best physical collectors item as far as CDs go.. Each album comes in a mini-replica LP sleeve that is exact, down to the construction of the cardboard and sleeves for the would-be vinyl discs. And the CDs all have protective slips on them as well.

Don't you think that music made for a certain presentation lacks something?

You're joking? Underrated? The Beatles are constantly being praised for their work. Look at Any list created by the Rolling Stones (500 best albums, 500 best songs, etc) and you'll see that they dominate everything. People still listen to these guys too. Personally, I think if anything they are overrated, but then I would deny them their revolutionary compositions of music.

Beatles were brilliant for the same reason they were overrated. When psychedelic was coming around, and they were struggling to keep up, they learned how to extensively use new innovative studio tricks to compensate for the instrumental limitations.

In that, they truly are like the godfathers of post-production. In that essence, though, they were actually a really kind of a flawed band. Good band, even great, but not to the standard of excellence brought to their reputation.

It doesn't, however, mean that their innovations in studio production are not significant, and that they should be appreciated as such. They could have continued to **** in a bag at one point, and been a happy boyband who smile, and sing silly love songs, but they chose to be more.

That's why I appreciate the Beatles. (Albeit, I wish I could punch Paul McCartney in the face every single time I see him speak.)

Too damn cheery, and over the top.

Paul's happy - go - lucky persona is a façade, and by some accounts he's quite a nasty little fella (one only has to hear the 'pakis go home' nonsense).

But I'll forgive him as he did write 'For No One' and some other stuff that I enjoy very much indeed.
