    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] Stereo mixing was still a new concept in the 1960's which lead to some very experimental approaches to how to mix in stereo by The Beatles producer, George Martin.

  • The Original Mono Mixes of Revolver & Sgt Pepper on CD For the First Time (Beatles Mono Box Set)
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] Many consider 1966's Revolver & 1967's Sgt. Pepper to be the height of The Beatles' career. This is when the band was pushing the creative envelope in all ways (songwriting, arrangements, and production.) Many also feel that the original mono mixes of these albums are really the albums as they were "intended to be heard" and now with the new Mono Box Set they can be heard on CD for the first time.


  • The Avett Brothers - Emotionalism - Album Review
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] I'm not usually much of a fan of country music or even music that has much of a country tinge to it. But there are some exceptions to that. One used to be Wilco (now they are pretty much a full on rock group without much of a country sound) and now there's The Avett Brothers. They definitely have an influence of bluegrass music but they use that influence in a fresh way that keeps it from being annoying.


  • Pink Floyd's Oh by the Way CD Box Set - Features of This 16 Disc Set
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] If you want a complete Pink Floyd collection you don't have to buy a bunch of individual CDs, instead you can get it all in just one box set. The "Oh, By The Way" Box Set makes it easy to have a complete Floyd collection.

  • The Beatles in 1966 - John Lennon's Best Songs of 1966 Including "Tomorrow Never Knows"
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] This article is about the best songs The Beatles recorded in 1966 which were written by John Lennon. The Beatles recorded & released Revolver in '66.


  • The Beatles in 1966 - Paul McCartney's Best Beatles Songs Recorded in 1966 Including "For No One"
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] 1966 was somewhat unusual for The Beatles in that it included the recording of only one album, of course by today's standards when band's routinely take 3 or 4 years between albums that sounds like a pretty ridiculous statement. Anyway, these are the best songs that The Beatles recorded in 1966 that were written by Paul McCartney.


  • The Beatles in 1965 - Paul McCartney's Best Songs of '65 Including "Yesterday" & "Michelle"
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] By 1965 the famous songwriting team of Lennon/McCartney were mostly writing songs separately. These are the Beatles songs recorded in 1965 that were mainly written by Paul McCartney which really stand out.


  • The Beatle First Single - "Love Me Do" - "PS I Love You" Released in the UK on October 5, 1962
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] This single is what first introduced The Beatles to most of the UK (they were already pretty well known by many in their hometown in Liverpool.) This article takes a look at both sides of the single and tries to place it in the context of October 1962.


  • The Beatles in 1964 - Beatlemania, a Hard Day's Night, & Beatles For Sale
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] 1964 is the year that The Beatles hit the US. They had been very popular in the UK for over a year already but it wasn't until the Capital (the US arm of the Beatles record company) released "I Want To Hold Your Hand" that the American people really got a taste of The Beatles, and obviously they liked what they heard.


  • The Beatles in 1963 - "She Loves You," "From Me to You," & "I Want to Hold Your Hand"
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] While The Beatles were only "finding themselves" as songwriters in 1962, in 1963 they wrote quite a lot of great classic pop songs including "She Loves You" & "I Want to Hold Your Hand." They released two albums Please Please Me & With The Beatles in 1963 but it was the singles that were most significant.


  • The Beatles in 1962 - "Love Me Do" & "Please Please Me"
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] 1962 was a huge year for The Beatles. It was the year they met George Martin, got signed to a record contract, and recorded their debut single "Love Me Do." But the year actually didn't start off very good for the young band as their January 1 audition for Decca didn't work out. Although in retrospect that was for the best (if they had been signed by Decca, music history as we know it would likely be entirely different.)


  • The Beatles Remasters - What's So Special About the New Remastered Beatles CDs?
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] Why should Beatles fans who already own all of their albums on CD be excited about these new Beatles remasters? Quite simply the question is: What's so special about these remastered Beatles CDs?

  • What's in the Beatles Mono CD Box Set?
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] The Beatles Mono CD Box Set comes out on September 9th of 2009 (it can be pre-ordered online now.) What's in this box set? Why should Beatles fans want to buy it?


  • The Beatles Anthology 1, 2, and 3 - Which Beatles Anthology Set is Best?
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] In my opinion The Beatles Anthology series should really be listened to after all of The Beatles original studio albums. After all these are the alternate takes and songs which were deemed "not good enough" to be included on the original albums.


  • George Harrison's Seven Best Beatles Songs
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] John Lennon & Paul McCartney generally get most of the credit for The Beatles music and for good reason, they did write most of their songs. But George Harrison is too often overlooked. He contributed to their sound greatly with his guitar playing and the influence of Indian music. He also wrote many great songs with The Beatles. These are the seven best tunes he wrote with The Beatles.


  • The Beatles Worst Albums - Yellow Submarine & With the Beatles
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] Many people claim that Beatles for Sale is the worst Beatles album. But in this article the case is made that there are at least two Beatles albums that beat it out for that dubious "honor."


  • Rubber Soul Vs Revolver - Both Beatles Classic Albums on Remastered CDs on 9-9-9
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] 1965's Rubber Soul & 1966's Revolver are usually seen as the beginning of their "serious" music stage. They are also among the most critically acclaimed albums of all time. This article is a look at both albums. Which one is best? Both albums are released in a new remastered form on 9/9/9.


  • Beatles Songs With Great Guitar Riffs
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] The Beatles aren't really known for their guitar riff based songs like The Rolling Stones & The Who are but that doesn't mean they didn't have any such songs. This article is focused on The Beatles songs which are largely based around guitar riffs.


  • The Best 11 Beatles Albums
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] The Beatles best 11 albums (in this author's opinion.) Why 11? Magical Mystery Tour is not counted as it's really an EP with some older singles added on (a compilation) and Yellow Submarine is not counted as it's not really much of a Beatles album with only 4 new Beatles recordings on it.


  • Please Please Me - The Beatles Debut Album on CD in Remastered Mono & Stereo
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] Like the rest of The Beatles official UK albums, The Beatles first album is being released on 9/9/9 in a new remastered version (in both stereo & mono.) Please Please Me includes the title track, "I Saw Her Standing There," and their legendary cover of "Twist & Shout."


  • The Beatles 1965 Classic Help! On CD in Original Mono & Stereo Mixes For the First Time on 9-9-9
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] Amazingly the original mono & stereo mixes for The Beatles 1965 classic album Help! have never been released on CD, until now. Both mixes are included on one CD as a part of the new Beatles Mono CD Box Set being released on September 9, 2009.


  • The Beatles - 1964's a Hard Day's Night Vs 1965's Help! Both Available on Remastered CD on 9-9-9

  • The Beatles Remastered CD Stereo Box Set - Features of This 16 Disc Set
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] The main reason that Beatles fans have been asking for remastered versions of The Beatles albums on CD for over 20 years is that it's a widely held belief that the mastering done for the original release of Beatles albums on CD (in 1987) was not good. Over the course of the past 22 years this has never been rectified, until now when new remasters of all of The Beatles albums have been made.


  • Beatles For Sale - Is it Really the Worst Beatles Album?
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] Beatles For Sale is often singled out as the worst Beatles album but it's my contention that this is actually an underrated album in comparison with Please Please Me (The Beatles debut album) and their second album With The Beatles. It's my theory that it's only because Beatles For Sale is surrounded by the definitely superior A Hard Day's Night & Help! that Beatles For Sale gets singled out as being disappointing.


  • The Beatles Revolver - In Mono on CD For the First Time on 9-9-9
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] The Beatles classic 1966 album Revolver is being released in it's original mono mix for the very first time on CD on 9/9/9. This article is an overview of Revolver and a look at why the mono mix is important.


  • The Beatles Rubber Soul - Original Mono & Stereo Mixes Available on CD For the First Time
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] When The Beatles recorded & released Rubber Soul in 1965 the mono mix was of primary importance as it was the way almost everyone listened to music. The stereo mix that was done was very "experimental" as stereo was something new that some people thought might just be a "fad" (how wrong they were!) When The Beatles albums were released on CD in the 1980s, Rubber Soul was released only in stereo and because the original stereo mix was considered too "experimental" - a new mix was done! This means that both of the original mixes of Rubber Soul have never been released on CD. That changes on 9/9/9.


  • The Beatles Mono Mix CD Box Set - Features of This 13 Disc Set
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] The Beatles Mono Box Set is released officially on 9/9/9. Why are so many Beatles fans so excited about this? Read this article to find out the features of this box set that make it so special.


  • Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in Mono - Hear the Beatles Legendary Album in Original Mono
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] When The Beatles 1967 classic Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was being recorded and mixed, it was done so with the mono mix of the album as the main focus. A stereo mix was done as well, but it was little more than an after thought in comparison with the time spent getting the mono mix perfect. Sadly many Beatles fans have never heard that original mono mix because only the stereo mix has been available on CD. That will change when The Beatles Mono Box Set is released on 9/9/9.


  • The Beatles White Album in Mono - Classic Double Album to Be Released in Mono in US For the 1st Time
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] The White Album is my favorite album of all time. But like many other Beatles fans, I've never heard it in mono. On September 9th that will change! On 9/9/9 The Beatles are finally releasing all of the original mono mixes of their albums (including the mono mix for The White Album) on CD. This will be the first time that these mono mixes are available on CD and the first time that any mono mix of The White Album has been released in the United States. More on that in the article!


  • The Beatles Mono Box Set - The Original Mono Mixes of the Beatles Albums on CD For the First Time
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] Why The Beatles Mono Box Set is what hard core Beatles fans have been waiting for. This article also includes information on exactly what's in this box set.


  • The Beatles Albums in Mono (Mono Mixes Available on CD For the First Time)
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] When The Beatles albums were recorded in the 1960s they were (up through The White Album) recorded and mixed in mono. But for many years only the stereo mixes of The Beatles albums have been available on CD. On 09/09/09 that changes. The original mono versions of The Beatles albums are being released for the first time. This article explains why any Beatles lover should be excited about this.


  • Piano Based Beatles Songs
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] A number of The Beatles biggest hits were piano based songs. This article takes a closer look at those songs.


  • Michael Jackson's Thriller - Album Review
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] Thriller is the biggest selling album of all time (in the United States and world wide.) But this article isn't about how many copies it's sold, it's about the music itself.


  • Michael Jackson Only Released Six Studio Albums in the 30 Years From 1979 Through 2009
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] Following Michael Jackson's tragic death on June 25, 2009 there are going to be a lot of look at MJ's incredible career. One thing that I think isn't brought up a whole heck of a lot is that MJ only recorded and released six albums during his 30 years as an adult solo artist.


  • Sarah Palin - 2012 Candidate For President?
    [News-and-Society:Pure-Opinion] Sarah Palin is among a handful of Republicans (along with Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, and Bobby Jindal) who keep getting listed among those likely to be a candidate for President in 2012. To those of us who thought she was an absolute disaster as John McCain's VP candidate in 2008 this is hard to come to grips with. Why on earth would anyone think she is capable of being President when she showed clearly during the 2008 election that she is not even capable of giving intelligible answers to simple questions?


  • The White Album, Sgt Pepper, & Revolver - The Beatles' Best Three Albums
    [Arts-and-Entertainment:Music] As a long time Beatles fan my favorite Beatles albums have changed over the years. In fact I can remember times when I've considered four different Beatles albums to be my favorite at that time. Those four albums were Abbey Road, Sgt Pepper, Revolver, & The White Album.
