Members imbuedblue Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 I just picked up the Beatles Vinyl Stereo Remasters Boxed Set. I'd been looking forward to this coming out--well actually, I've really been waiting for the mono set--since the digital remasters were announced a few years ago. The tracks sound amazing. The 180 gram vinyl is a plus. And, the book is {censored}ing stunning. But something seemed off about the artwork on the jackets to me. And then, I realized the problem. The jackets are printed direct to board instead of tip-on. The jackets don't feel or look right. WTF?! Yeah, first world problems and all that. I still feel kind of cheated, even considering that I didn't pay full retail cost. I should've bought a Super Ego instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the Beatles jackets were direct printed onto really lightweight stock that seems about the weight used for Trident Gum packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend more time listening and less time worrying about paper weight and inking methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members conky Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 I don't like this record for the fact that it pushed back the vinyl release of the new Converge and Neurosis records (I read that somewhere but can't remember where).

Members Trick Fall Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 Not a big fan, but I've got the old 1978 box set. Never had any qualms with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When recording to 4 track a lot of mix decisions are made early on during bouncing, so a remix would be nigh on impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but the Doors remixed all their albums in 2007. Granted, only the first album was 4 track, but there was still benefits to be had. I'm sure they could at the very least eliminate the hard panned vocals and other stupid choices that plague the Beatles stereo records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
