The Beatles Stereo Box Set

After more than 22 years of having The Beatles' albums on CD, here’s one big treat to all The Beatles fans for the New Year---a definitive box set of every album of the Beatles catalogue.

This time, EMI is bringing you a brilliant audio collection comprising the magical journey of the Fab Four with “The Beatles Stereo Box Set,” distributed by PolyEast Records and exclusively available at all Odyssey outlets.

For the very first time, their entire recorded output has been re-mastered for the 21st century, complete with unique liner notes and special digital packaging to boot. Plus, the box set does include a bonus DVD featuring insightful mini-documentaries containing audio commentaries from The Beatles themselves along with George Martin.

You can also avail the record in a limited edition 16G USB Flash Drive housed in a green aluminium apple which contains full contents of the Beatles Stereo Box set; 13 mini-documentaries in MPEG-4 video format; and custom-designed Flash Player menu system with full booklet artwork, album cover wallpapers, and photo gallery.

What you have here are the original British Beatles albums just like what had been released before; only now, listeners can enjoy the first four albums---"Please Please Me,” "With The Beatles,” "A Hard Day's Night," and "Beatles For Sale"---available in true stereo for the very first time.

Combined with the remaining nine albums recorded by the group between 1965 and 1970, this masterpiece set is a special treasure trove of timeless, classic songs that changed the entire structure of popular music as we know it today.

Each title also comes with a special CD booklet containing many unreleased photographs that represent the time when each album was originally released, plus well-written liner notes (including the original notes from the first four albums). The "Yellow Submarine" booklet contains both the original UK and US back cover notes together for the very first time.

And what a thrill it is to finally be able to have the photo/comic-strip booklet from "Magical Mystery Tour” that was initially issued in the American LP in 1967, in an official CD release, also for the very first time.

The "White Album" packaging includes the original poster, in a CD-sized reproduction, that features the photo collage on one side, and the album's song-lyrics on the other side. This marks the second time that this poster was made available in a "White Album" CD release, following the 30th anniversary reissue from 1998.

"Love Me Do" (both versions), "P.S. I Love You," "Only A Northern Song," "She Loves You," "I'll Get You," and "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" are all presented in their original monaural mixes, whereas the remaining songs are all in true stereo. Even "I Am The Walrus" still has its original mix of half-stereo/half-duo phonic, just like the first time around.

The Beatles truly are the best thing that ever happened in the 20th century in the history of music all over the world. Their songs echo everywhere we go in the works of countless bands they influenced throughout these years, proving the timelessness of their music.

Collected in 16 CDs plus one DVD, the Beatles Stereo Box Set is now available at the following O Music and Odyssey Music & Video outlets. Limited copies are only available at: O Music Greenbelt, O Music Rockwell, Odyssey Megamall, Odyssey Gateway, Odyssey Robinson's Ermita, Odyssey Filinvest Festival Mall Alabang, Odyssey Alabang Town Center, Odyssey SM Southmall, Odyssey SM Mall of Asia, and Odyssey Quad.
