This ends without adding to the collection, these releases:
These 3 above came free with the Anthology purchase.
A fresh new version of Let It Be as intended by The Beatles in the first place, before Phil Spector ruined it with orchestra backing and other worthless sound. This is MUCH better!
THE number ones!
The Capitol releases on CD for the very 1st time up to Revolver, All the discs have the stereo and mono mixes of each album!
An unbelievable soundtrack to the Cirque de Soleil Las Vegas show featuring The Beatles music. George Martin and son Giles did a mix-mash up of different Beatles song to make up a dreamy, psychedelic wonder of an album!
Here is the Stereo Remaster Box Set from 2009...
..and the Mono Remaster Box Set!
Now, wasn't that fun?
