Re-Mastering Helps
EMI record label had announced that currently the company is able to fix it’s various financial problems due to the fact that they’ve re-released The Beatles’ re-mastered albums, said BBC News. By the end of March 2010 EMI’s budget decreased from 1,75 billion to 624 million pounds. Today’s gains had increased on five percents; EMI experts had connected this success to The Beatles re-mastered sales. However, the record label underlines that they still have a lot of work ahead of them in order to pay off the debt. EMI owes three billion pounds to the US bank Citigroup, so things are still not working very well for one of the biggest record producing companies. In September 2009 EMI had re-released all The Beatles albums in mono and stereo versions with the boosted sound quality. Nevertheless, some songs were slightly edited during the re-mastering process. Mono versions were totally moved onto the digital format in their original condition. By the end of September 2009 the re-released songs were capable of conquering all the first ten places on the Billboard’s chart list. Even Michael Jackson was knocked out despite his popularity during that time. The most popular re-mastered album was “Abbey Road”, it had simply went back into it’s original popularity right after the original release in 1969.
