There has been considerable buzz surrounding the new Beatles remasters, due for release in September. There should be. We have all been waiting for this day, and it is about to arrive - finally! Thanks to a long-time supporter and friend to this project, I have had the opportunity to hear genuine samples of the new remasters due out in two months. They are good. Very good. Those of you who will be buying them - and those of you who have already preordered - will not be disappointed. In fact, I will venture to guess than many of you will be more than pleasantly surprised at how good they sound. And with what promises to be outstanding packaging all around, it will be a collector's nirvana. From the outset of the Dr. Ebbetts Sound Systems project, I swore that once EMI did the right thing and released remasters to be proud of, I would not continue doing what I was doing. After all, the only reason I did this was because Apple/EMI/Capitol would not - and because I so very much love the Beatles. While my love for the band has not changed, everything else has. EMI/Capitol began their release of the American LPs on compact disc a few years ago, and now EMI has tackled the British catalogue in fullest detail. It's what we all wanted. As Beatles fans, it's what we've prayed for. To that end - and with the heaviest of hearts - effective immediately, Dr. Ebbetts Sound Systems will cease operations.

At least the remasters should be good, though it's sad to see him go, since not everything is being remastered...
