The impossible review

Imagine that you work for a newspaper or magazine and your editor asks you to review the new boxed set of remastered Beatles CDs.

How do you review the thing as music? The Lennon-McCartney songbook is better known than almost any other pop music collection I can think of.

Give Chuck Klosterman credit for trying. You may find his premise a little too cute, but it has its amusing moments.

I'm actually really excited to hear the tracks in mono. I used to have a car that only had speakers on the right side, and any Beatles or Hendrix was just unlistenable.
