Dus waarschijnlijk is die genummerde mono boxset uitverkocht .

Omdat hij bijvoorbeeld in de Amerikaanse Beatles Store en bij Amazon.com al uitverkocht is .

Zelf ga ik waarschijnlijk als eerst naar "Rubber Soul" luisteren. Want dat is nogal geheimzinnig, ze zijn er in het persbericht en in de interviews heel vaag over of het exact de mix uit 1987 is, of een nieuwe mix die lijkt op die mix... En dan koop ik "Revolver" los, en vind ik het wel prima .

Je hoort in de verschillende demo's ook bepaalde partijen uitvallen zodra één van de spelers een fout maakt. Bij de eerdere nummers gaat dat wat moeilijk (2-track en 4-track), waardoor je bij "Day Tripper" bijvoorbeeld soms de complete ritme-sectie hoort wegvallen. Bij "I Saw Her Standing There" denk ik te horen dat ze gebruik hebben gemaakt van EQ-filtering om de bas weg te filteren wanneer de speler met de basgitaar de virtuose McCartney-baslijnen niet meer kan bijhouden.

To produce a song for Rock Band, however, Harmonix requires access to an original multitrack recording, in which individual instruments are put down on separate channels. But in the early '60s, when the Beatles were cutting classics like "I Want to Hold Your Hand," the band recorded multiple instrumental parts on a single track. Isolating McCartney's bass from Harrison's guitar was no easy feat. Further complicating matters, Apple Corps had given the team only hissing, low-bitrate audio files, which required extra time and care.

But they did get a little help from a friend. Jeff Jones, CEO of Apple Corps, suggested they turn to Giles Martin, the son of longtime Beatles producer George Martin, for help. Martin had just completed remixing a series of Beatles tracks for the 2006 album Love (featured in a popular Cirque du Soleil show) and was intimately familiar with the band's master tapes. "The stars just aligned," DeGooyer recalls. "It turned out Giles wasn't booked at that time, and he had the trust and confidence of the Beatles."

Martin had discovered a way to isolate the individual instruments and voices using software developed by Cedar, a company based in Cambridge, England. Originally created for audio forensics, the software allowed Martin and the Harmonix team to zero in on the exact frequencies of McCartney's vocals, for instance, and filter out the rest. After weeks in Abbey Road Studios, they disassembled five songs—enough to make the demo.

Never-heard-before Beatles chat and rare footage unveiled as Beatles Week comes to BBC Two And BBC Four

A new documentary featuring never-heard-before fragments of conversation, along with interviews and rare footage of The Beatles in the studio, will form the centrepiece of a season of programming as BBC Two and BBC Four join forces for Beatles Week.

The joint season, celebrating the Fab Four's enduring legacy and continuing influence, begins on BBC Two on Saturday 5 September 2009.

Kicking off an evening of programming on BBC Two on 5 September, The Beatles On Record offers a concise history of The Beatles in the studio and sits alongside other highlights including the first TV showing of The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit, the Maysles brothers' film charting the Fab Four's arrival in America in 1964.

BBC Four's programming includes Storyville's extraordinary story of how The Beatles' music may have contributed towards the collapse of the USSR; a documentary on the making of The Beatles' First U.S. Visit; and a new compilation of archive footage featuring an eclectic range of artists who have covered Beatles songs over the decades.

In 1962 an unknown group from Liverpool entered Abbey Road Studios to record their debut single. During the next eight years they created what is arguably regarded as the greatest collection of studio recordings of the 20th century.

The Beatles On Record, directed by Bob Smeaton, charts The Beatles' extraordinary journey from Please Please Me to Abbey Road and reflects on how they developed as musicians, matured as songwriters and created a body of work that sounds as fresh in 2009 as the time it was recorded.

Narrated entirely by John, Paul, George, Ringo and their producer Sir George Martin, the documentary features more than 60 classic songs, rare footage and photos from The Beatles' archives and never-heard-before out-takes of studio chat from the Abbey Road recording sessions.

This is followed on the same evening on BBC Two by The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit.

It is 1964, Beatlemania is beginning in America and from airport to hotel to TV studio, the pioneering Maysles brothers are at The Beatles' shoulders on their first US visit. This is the inside story of the two remarkable weeks when Beatlemania first ignited in America.

BBC Two will also be reshowing Timewatch: Beatlemania, the inside story of the rise and fall of Beatlemania. By 1966 the Beatles had played more than 1,400 gigs, toured the world four times and sold the equivalent of 200 million records. At the height of their popularity, and without warning, they pulled the plug and never toured again.

There's also another chance to see the action adventure spoof Help!, directed by Richard Lester.

The season continues with a week of programming on BBC Four from Sunday 6 September.

Storyville: How The Beatles Rocked The Kremlin tells the extraordinary unknown story of how The Beatles' music may have contributed to the collapse of the USSR.

In August 1962 director Leslie Woodhead made a two-minute film in Liverpool's Cavern Club with a raw and unrecorded group of rockers – The Beatles. He arranged their first live TV appearances on a local show in Manchester and then watched as the Fab Four phenomenon swept the world.

Twenty five years later, while making films in Russia, Woodhead became aware of how – even though they were never able to play in the Soviet Union – The Beatles legend had soaked into the lives of a generation of youngsters.

This film meets the Soviet Beatles generation and hears stories about how the Fab Four changed their lives.

Other programming throughout the week on BBC Four includes Sings Beatles, a new compilation of archive footage featuring a diverse range of artists – from Sandie Shaw to Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Carpenters to Candy Flip – who have covered Beatles songs over the years.

Plus there's an opportunity to see Filming The Beatles' First U.S. Visit: Albert Maysles, which takes viewers behind the scenes with the legendary documentary director of The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit that screens on BBC Two on 5 September.

George Entwistle, Controller, Knowledge Commissioning, says: "This is a chance for viewers to enjoy some rare footage and fascinating insights into the career of the greatest pop group of all time.

"Through BBC Two and BBC Four's close working relationship we will be inviting our audience to join us on a rich and colourful journey across two TV channels, through new and archive content, shown in just one week in September."

Al bekend, maar nu ook officieel, 19 van de 20 overgebleven Rock Band tracks:

Één track blijft een verrassing. Dit is wat ik denk: "The End". Dit is wat ook mogelijk is: "In My Life". Dit is wat prachtig zou zijn: "Real Love", een nieuwe versie, waarin één van de 20 goed klinkende Lennon-demo's is gebruikt. Dit is wat onwerkelijk zou zijn: "Now And Then". Erg benieuwd!
