The set was also certified Diamond in Canada in March 2010. 18.The set was issued on 9 September 2009, along with the remastered mono recordings and companion The Beatles in Mono and The Beatles: Rock Band video game.The remastering project for both mono and stereo versions was led by EMI senior studio engineers Allan Rouse and Guy Massey.
The Stereo Box also features a DVD which contains all the short films that are on the CDs in QuickTime format. Two earlier album collections, The Beatles Collection (1978) and The Collection (1982) did not contain all of the Beatles recordings. ![]() The first four albums ( Please Please Me, With the Beatles, A Hard Days Night and Beatles for Sale ) made their CD debut in stereo, though most songs from those albums have previously appeared on CD in stereo on various compilations. Both Help and Rubber Soul use the remixes prepared by George Martin for the original 1987 CD releases (the original 1965 stereo mixes were released on The Beatles in Mono ). Magical Mystery Tour is presented in the sequence and artwork of its original North American Capitol Records album release, as opposed to the UK six-song EP. For Past Masters, disc one uses a mid-1960s Parlophone label design and disc two uses the (side A) Apple label design. Each of the albums except Past Masters includes a mini-documentary, mainly drawing from The Beatles Anthology (with a few animated 3D scenarios made up of original photos thrown in), about the album in QuickTime format. Every release of these four songs has been in mono (or simulated stereo) and they appear in mono on the stereo version of Past Masters and Please Please Me. This is also the case for the single version of Love Me Do with Ringo on drums but at some point (fairly early on) even the mixed down mono tape of this version of the song was lost. Some authors have expressed the opinion that the original version of Love Me Do was intentionally destroyed in order to alleviate possible confusion between it and the more common version of the song. Neither of these songs received stereo mixes at the time they were recorded, although other songs that were similarly not mixed into stereo during The Beatles recording lifetime were not excluded from the set: the stereo mixes of Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, and Baby, Youre a Rich Man all made in 1971, the stereo mix of Yes It Is that was given a very limited UK release in 1986 on a mail order cassette promotion that Apple and The Beatles did not authorize 8 and was commercially released in 1988 on Past Masters; and the 2000 edit of Day Tripper from 1. Only a Northern Song was first mixed into stereo and 5.1 surround for the Yellow Submarine Songtrack album in 1999 and a differently-edited stereo mix of You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) appeared on Anthology 2 in 1996. You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) is the only track left in The Beatles catalogue of which the original edit has never received a stereo mix despite the multi-tracks being available. The DVD features narration from all four Beatles as well as George Martin as the opening on each of the individual albums. Each documentary contains rare footage and previously unheard dialogue. There are sound excerpts from various songs, accompanied by still photos, clips of television appearances, footage from inside recording sessions, film footage from their final photo session, and material from the five Beatles films A Hard Days Night, Help, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, and Let It Be. The DVD has a red Apple label (similar to that on the original US Let It Be LP). This DVD is exclusive to the Stereo set, and is not included in the Mono version. This event marks the first appearance for the Beatles catalogue in a high-resolution digital format being encoded in 44.1 kHz 24-bit FLAC format. CD-standard is 44.1 kHz16-bit.
