The Beatles stereo box set released

EMI presents an audio collection comprising the magical journey of the Fab Four with The Beatles Stereo Boxset distributed by PolyEast Records.

For the 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. The box set includes a bonus DVD featuring all of these short sequences together. You can also avail The Beatles Stereo Boxset in a limited edition 16G USB Flash Drive housed in a green aluminum 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, Beatles For Sale — available in true stereo for the first time. Combined with the remaining nine albums recorded by the group between 1965 and 1970, this is a treasure trove of timeless, classic songs that changed the structure of popular music as we know it today.

Each title also comes with a CD booklet containing many unreleased photographs that represent the time when each album was originally released, plus well-written liner notes (including original notes from the first four albums). The Yellow Submarine booklet contains the original UK and US back cover notes together for the first time. Also available is the photo/comic-strip booklet from Magical Mystery Tour initially issued in the American LP in 1967, in an official CD release for the 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. 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 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.
