XXXP: Prices of Beatles CDs have been dumped here for months. I think it has more to do with EMI wanting to get rid of all the old edition copies as soon as possible though - Warner are doing the exact thing with Neil Young now.

Allan Kozinn weighs in. He likes everything but a couple of tunes on Pepper, and wants to see a high-def Blu Ray edition.

Feeling like Rubber Soul stands out the most from the old 1987 issue. "The Word" just had its sinuses opened up. The clarity in all the percussion, and the deep bass sound, is fuckin' phenomenal!

"Sinuses opened up" is an apt metaphor.

Listening to the new Rubber Soul now. So far I'd say the quality improved massively. Hearing all sorts of new detail and 'color'. It's so strange to hear the crystal clear sitar in Norwegian Wood now, as if it's another added instrument to the song! Amazing.

When the guitar comes in at 0.08 on Nowhere Man, it sounds as it's a just a bit too early, very odd (or I just have never noticed in the previous mix...)

Sooooo happy these are remasters and not remixes. I've listened to these albums so much I have grown accustomed to the eccentricities in the original mixes. First thing I did to test this was listen to "Good Day Sunshine" to see if I could hear that split second of ambient sound before the cymbal fades in and sure enough it's there!

I was thinking just the opposite. I've heard these songs so often that I can't imagine remastering them will have any positive impact for me. We'll see.

I can't imagine you will be disappointed after hearing them--i felt the same way until i heard them. they are incredible, it really is like night and day, like removing centuries of grime from an old master painting or something. they are wild

iago OTM. wasn't expecting much out of them besides some added clarity, maybe as good as Love. this is mind-numbing.

― akm, Sunday, 6 September 2009 01:13 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm buying these both anyway next week so for once I'm not really that jazzed about leaks, but still
I didn't want to buy these until I downloaded them and listened. Now I plan on buying most of them. I was sold after hearing the download. Can't wait to hear the mono mixes, then i'll decide which to get in stereo and which to get in mono. These truly are fantastic. Double OTM's to above accolades.
― brotherlovesdub, Sunday, 6 September 2009 01:27 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm not going to read through the whole thread to see if it's been mentioned already, but according to Amazon, they're going to make more than 10,000 copies of the mono set due to demand.

One of the songs that really benefits is "Birthday", which is one few Beatles songs that I've found skippable, at least until now. It's still been kind of ruined because I can't listen to it without visualizing a morning newscaster listing off famous people who have been born in the same day, but at least I have a newfound appreciation for the piano work in the song.
