Some people believe that vinyl records are the ultimate way to enjoy an album. These people believe there is just a certain magic to seeing the record rotate and knowing that the wonderful sound you’re hearing is coming from a needle instead of a bunch of ones and zeroes like with CDs.

It is this “magic feeling” (to quote Paul McCartney) that has Beatles junkies extremely excited about the strong possibility of The Beatles 2009 remasters making their way onto vinyl records in in March of 2010. Although as of this moment no date for release has been officially set, it is believed that Apple (The Beatles Apple, not the computer company) is working on a vinyl release of The Beatles remastered stereo mixes but there’s no indication that the mono remasters will also be released on vinyl.

The Beatles LPs that are available at the moment were made using the old 1987 remasters so these 2010 vinyl records should be significantly improved in sound quality like the new discs are when compared to the 1987 CDs.

I am going to be ordering The Beatles Remastered Vinyl Box as soon as it is available to buy (as I’m sure it’ll sell out fast) despite the fact that I’ve already purchased all of these remasters on CD.

According to the interviews that I’ve read, the remastered Beatles vinyl will be available both individually and as a part of a box set (just like The Beatles remastered stereo CDs.) The rumored release date is in March of 2010 but there’s a good possibility that will not end up as the actual release date.

In the meantime I definitely recommend buying The Beatles Remastered Stereo Box Set and The Beatles Remastered Mono CD Box Set. They both sound awesome. I personally end up listening to stereo box set more commonly (as I just prefer hearing music mixed in stereo more than in mono, in general) but the mono CDs are very interesting to hear too.
