'No Music To Our Ears': Beatles fans kept waiting

 

September 10, 2009

 

BEATLES fans will learn today if they can get the latest remastered Fab Four albums after a distribution problem saw Melburnians snubbed.

 

The band's digitally remastered back catalogue is the first remix of the band's music since 1987 and includes a limited release box set in mono audio format.

 

Beatles fans in regional areas and interstate were forced to wait until after midday to hear the re-released recordings, with record company EMI imposing a strict sales embargo.

 

Fears that advanced sales would spoil anticipation led the record company to delay deliveries until the official day of release, but a problem saw Melbourne's deliveries held up.

 

An EMI spokesperson said unprecedented demand for the remastered catalogue caused freight delays, which affected delivery to some Victorian shops.

 

"We apologise to all Beatles fans who have been affected by these unexpected delivery issues and assure them that stock will be delivered tomorrow (Thursday)," he said.

 

The release of the digitally remastered Beatles catalogue coincided with the launch of the new The Beatles: Rock Band video game.

 

The game, the latest edition of the popular Rock Band series, is expected to spawn a new generation of Beatles fans.

^^

 

had no idea you were much of a Beatles fan. do you have a favourite out of those. Revolver is my personal fave followed by Help, White Album and Abbey Road.

 

Me? I'm getting into them, liking Revolver alot.

are there any crazy hardcore fans here? who have all the bootlegs of the band's recording sessions. cos the beatles used to record every single thing they did in the studio. everything from discussion between the guys, every take they did, jam sessions and everything in between. from memory i think there are over 40 takes of Get Back available. The new Rock Band game apparently has never before heard "conversations" between the guys in the studio which ended up being recorded.

 

i wish bands did that nowadays.

Bloody Royal Mail are on strike. I hope this doesn't delay the delivery date of my albums.

I don't have any bootlegs, but lots of the extra takes and conversations can be found on the Beatles Anthology CDs, which are fantastic. the game is awesome- includes lots of little bits of conversations as songs load, lots of great pictures and you can unlock little "prizes" by playing. Last night we unlocked a Christmas message the guys sent out to their fan club members on an album. I think it was from 1963 or 64. Very cool and quite funny. In a way, reminded me of the christmas messages Coldplay does. :)

I got the Beatles Rockband for Wii today. It won't let me play the guitar as a option. It only will allow me to use the microphone to sing. How do I get to playing the guitar?

 

You need a guitar controller...

 

Seriously how do people even manage to live every day lives?

 

I completed Story mode as Paul already :D

I want the game too :/ but I don't even have nintendo wii

Wii is probably the worst one to have it on anyway

 

I have the 360 version.

oh ok. well we only have this

 

 

 

so yeah..

 

:P

Haha.

 

I just have too much money/spare time on my hands.

I've got the time but not the money. :/

I am getting my dad's old vinyl player from his house and if it doesn't work/isn't repairable I am gunna buy a vinyl player and start listening to LPs on there.

 

Mentioning it in here cos The Beatles are gunna be the first thing I listen to on it.

I got one but it's a bit broken.. should get a new one. I dont have any beatles on vinyl, yet :/

I think my dad has some of the originals, but he would never let me even touch them, haha.

My dad bought the record of Sgt Peppers the day it came out on June 1st in 1967.

 

It's now hanging proudly on my wall. :smug:.

My uncle sent me a special/rare edition of The White Album vinyl in the mail today. :dance:

Other than The White Album (which I think should have a way lower rating), I pretty much agree with that, hate Yellow Submarine.
