To celebrate the release of the Beatles' monolithic stereo CD box set Criminal Records has declared Wed., Sept. 9 to be Beatles Day -- all day.
Sadly the store has already stopped taking pre-orders for the super ltd. CD box set of mono recordings, and the remastered LPs won't see the light of day until sometime next year.
But if you must have to have it, the stereo box is available for pre-order now at a reduced cost of $199.99. As of Sept. 9 they will shoot up to $239.99 when a series of individual remasters will also be released and sold for $9.99 each. But if you don't have the dough and want to just hang out and listen to some top notch Beatles reissues, they'll be playing the remasters all day long from the main stage through some kind of high-tech, two-channel stereo system that comes courtesy of local experts, The Art of Noise.
