But the burning question is, 'Why?' Any opinions on this? I know Apple wants to release something for the holiday season (I guess they're not satisfied with just releasing a bunch of other albums from their catologue), but there are so many other things they should do before this. And on DVD, anyone? Maybe a remastered Anthology set. Or even remastered.

The Red and Blue albums were compiled and released in the spring of 1973, a year when the legend of The Beatles was even bigger than it had been when the group was.

More Beatles Red Album images. Listen to songs from the album The Beatles 1962-1966 (The Red Album), including 'Love Me Do (Mono Version)', 'Please Please Me (Mono Version)', 'From Me to You (Mono.

After all of those things are released, then they should remaster Red and Blue. I mean, in my opinion, at least, they're just 2 very big compilation albums. For me it has an inner value. (1962-1966), was the first thing i heard from the boys. And i used to listen to it EVERY SINGLE DAY!!

THAT should've been their next release as far as I'm concerned.man, who's making their 'Things to Do' list over there? *smiles!* --Jaxon.
