Beatles 1 sound quality?


I have recently purchased the Beatles 1 cd. I have almost all of these songs on other Beatle cd's. This release of these remastered Beatles songs have less background noise but do not sound as good as my older Beatle cd's.Could some sort of noise reduction be responsible for (IMO) a percieved loss in the recording or is it just the remastering? Thanks, Frank.

Although I havent' heard this,your opinion matches what I've heard and read, go over to Amazon and read the reviews, many are bummed about sonics. Complaints about thin and bright, I experience this from remasters quite often, it sounds like their trying to extract maximum detail, upper mids and lower trebles bumped up.

From what I've read, neither George Martin or the Beatles were involved with this remaster, leaves me very leery. I wonder if Michael Jackson still owns the Beatles copyrights, I simply don't understand how in all these years they haven't come out with a properly remastered catalog, a travesity!
