We grew up listening to John, Paul, George, and Ringo on something called LPs, vinyl records that were placed on a turntable and spun around a spindle at 33⅓ revolutions per minute. We could even play these black mono discs backward, which on such records as The Beatles (aka The White Album) provided clues to a mystery about one of these Liverpudlian moptops’ possible early death. Big deals were made when their music first came out on CD and, more recently, became available on iTunes, but now we’re going back to the basics, as fourteen of the once-in-a-lifetime group’s albums — including such classics as With the Beatles, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, a Hard Day’s Night, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, Let It Be, The Beatles, and Help! — are being released on 180g heavyweight vinyl in the remastered stereo versions as well as a deluxe limited edition box set. To celebrate the event, a double-decker bus will be traveling through New York City on November 13 selling copies of the records and more, making stops at Seventh Ave. and Fiftieth St. at 9:30, 550 Broadway between Prince and Spring Sts. at 12 noon, and 160 Broadway in the Financial District at 2:30. In addition, In Living Stereo on Great Jones St. will be hosting a listening party for the new records on December 5 at 7:00. Be sure to step right up to this magical mystery tour, which is dying to take you away to experience what will always be the greatest band in rock-and-roll history. (For those of you kids out there, we mean John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.)
