Been listening to The Beatles ...

I've been going through the whole catalogue -- both stereo and mono mixes -- and I've found myself actually enjoying these records even more than I thought I would. Even "Beatles for Sale" -- no one's favorite by the Fab Four -- isn't half bad. And the great records are sounding better than ever. Sure, many of us believe that these guys were the best rock band ever, but listening to 'em again and finding that to be true has been proving to be lots of fun. (And I haven't even played the Past Masters discs yet!)

I purchased stereo versions of everything from Revolver and Rubber Soul on up. Have only listened to Revolver and Rubber Soul so far. IMHO: They sound much better than any other versions I've heard so far.

Although I wouldn't characterize them as bright, there seems to be a slight emphasis in the upper range. Not a major complaint by any means, does anyone else feel this way?

Working through the other titles this week. Haven't received the mono set yet but have them on order.

Listened to Abbey Road the other night. For the most part I thought it sounded excellent but IMO there are few places that could use a bit more help, no pun intended.

76doublebass,
There's an insane amount of related information at the Steve Hoffman site. More than I can wade through.

One thing for sure, it's been fun listening to these again. I have the mono set and most of the stereo versions.
More to discover
