abbey road question


does the newly re-issued vinyl abbey road sound much better than the half speed mastered mfsl from the 80's? My mfsl copy sounds like its under water for the first few songs-thanks.

Here's Fremer's take on Abbey Road:

I have both the MOFI and the new 2012 reissue. I prefer the
new reissue, but only by a small margin. The MOFI has
better bass and high frequency, but the 2012 reissue is
cleaner and has more "sparkle" to it. I also have
the Japanese EMI/Toshiba that came out 12 years or so ago
and find it to sound the best of the bunch.
