The Beatles Remastered Stereo Box Set
The Beatles final five albums were Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, and Let It Be. Below you will find short overviews of each of them.
All of these albums are contained in the Remastered Beatles in Stereo CD Box Set but just Magical Mystery Tour and The White Album are contained in the Remastered Beatles Mono Box Set.
Magical Mystery Tour (1967) – I think this is an underrated album and that’s probably because it’s not really a true album so some people have a hard time giving it respect for the excellent songs on it. Magical Mystery Tour is The Beatles at their most purposefully psychedelic before they began to pull back the experimentation a bit and as someone who loves psychedelia, that makes it right up my alley.
The White Album (1968) – I’ve probably listened to this album more times than any other in my life. It does not flow as well as Sgt. Pepper or Abbey Road and one could argue that it’s not as consistently outstanding as Rubber Soul or Revolver are but I love listening to it for the great variety of styles that it lets me hear. This 30 track album is a true masterpiece.
Yellow Submarine (1969) – This “album” is not really a Beatles album because it includes only four Beatles trackss that were not already released on a previous album. Yet “It’s All Too Much” and “Hey Bulldog” alone make it worth buying.
Abbey Road (1969) – The favorite album of lots of Beatles fans and for some very good reasons. The most obvious is the fantastic “suite” of side two put together by Paul McCartney and George Martin. Along with the suite there are the classic stand alone tracks like “Something,” “Come Together,” and “Oh! Darling.” This album also features the “smoothest” and most “modern” production of their career.
Let It Be (1970) – This was the last album released but Abbey Road was actually the final Beatles album to be recorded. It’s a bit sloppy and uneven by Fab Four standard yet it still contains several absolutely classic songs like “Let It Be” and “Across The Universe.”
