Some folks think that vinyl LPs are the most ultimate way to listen to an album. These people believe there is just a certain magic to watching the record rotate and knowing that the wonderful sound you are hearing is coming from a needle in the record's groove.

It's this "magic feeling" (to quote "You Never Give Me Your Money" that has Beatles fans extremely excited about the strong possibility of The Beatles 2009 remasters making their way to vinyl LPs in in early 2010. Although as of right now 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 LP release of The Beatles stereo remasters (but it's not known if the mono versions will also be made available on vinyl.)

The Beatles vinyl LPs that are available at the moment were created using the 1987 remasters so these new vinyl records should be significantly improved in sound quality like the new CDs are in comparison to the 1987 compact discs (and, by the way, I definitely recommend listening to these new CDs if you haven't yet.

I am going to be buying The Beatles Remastered Vinyl LP Box Set as soon as it is available to order (as I'm sure it'll sell out fast) despite the fact that I have already bought all of the 2009 remasters on CD (and on The Beatles USB.)

According to everything that I've read, the new Beatles LPs will be available individually and in a vinyl box set The rumored release date is March 16, 2010 but there's a very good chance that will not end up being the actual date.

In the meantime I strongly recommend buying The Beatles in Stereo CD Box Set and The Beatles in Mono CD Box Set. They both sound awesome. I personally end up listening to stereo box set more commonly (as I just prefer listening to music in stereo more than in mono, in general) but that being said, the mono mixes are interesting too.
