This is the 2009 box set that gathers every remastered Beatles recording in stereo, sometimes known as The Beatles: Stereo Box Set. It came out on 9 September 2009 through Parlophone, alongside a mono counterpart and The Beatles: Rock Band video game. EMI engineers Allan Rouse and Guy Massey led the remastering work on both versions, and a DVD collects the short films that appear on the discs.

It is the second full collection of the band's original recordings, following The Beatles Box Set of 1988, and it succeeded two earlier sets from 1978 and 1982 that left material out. Individual sales passed 30 million, and the set won the Grammy for Best Historical Album at the 53rd ceremony. A vinyl edition followed in 2012. If you want the whole catalogue in one cleaned-up package, this is the place to start.
