The so-called “Red” and “Blue” albums — the Beatles compilations that generation after generation have grown up with — just got a whole lot better. Thanks to Peter Jackson’s MAL technology, the tracks shimmer and pop like never before.
Originally released in 1973 – as "The Beatles, 1962-1966" and "The Beatles, 1967-1970," respectively – the "Red" and "Blue" albums came into being as a result of the unauthorized release of "The Beatles: Alpha Omega" in 1972. "Alpha Omega" was an illegal compilation of 60 tracks by a New Jersey outfit called Audiotape, Inc., who brazenly advertised the illicit four-record set on radio and TV.
