Don't you know that you can count me out.
I love my vinyl Mobile Fidelity pressings of Beatles recordings. Digitally remastered...:dunno:

Here's an interesting twist. I'd made this connection too, but hesitated to say it out loud. Now I think it's not so far fetched...
Will the Beatles library finally arrive in iTunes September 9th?

It'll probably sound better than the late '80s CDs. Why not finish the job and actually deliver that presumably better sound to those who are paying for it via a high-resolution medium such as SACD, DVD-A, Dolby TrueHD on Blu-Ray etc.? Or heaven forbid, 180gm vinyl from the original analog masters?

mobile fidelity pressings?
Are they all in mono, and sound like Frank Sinatra records?

The work being done is happening at, and being archived at, 192KHz / 32 bit, so when release on ultra-fidelity media becomes commercially viable we'll see it. In fact, the release of this material is what may make these media commercially viable. I'll bet Apple is just waituing out to see which (if any) of these formats becomes dominant.

It'll be too late, in that case. None of them will become "dominant" to the extent they'll usurp CDs, if that's what they want to see happen first.
And that's not really the point, either. Plenty of older, lesser titles have been available as quality reissues on vinyl for example. Surely there would be enough Beatles sales to justify a few runs there. |
