I have an Abbey Road that I purchased in 1970 and played the heck out of it. It’s nevertheless superior in many ways to the mo-fi stereo from the boxed set, to my chagrin. Probably my favorite Beatles LP. I’ve ordered the new White album reissue. Re Abbey Road: The bass riffs on Come Together used to overload the woofers on my IMF speakers back in 1970. My response was to turn up the volume.
Floored by Beatles "White Album" Reissue
I bought a sealed copy of this reissue, and it's the most quiet four slabs of vinyl I've ever heard. Sound quality is as good, or better than any other vinyl I can remember hearing. Along with the double White Album, included is the "Esher" demos recorded at George Harrison's recording studio.
All the songs are played with acoustic guitars. Incredibly good sound, and hearing them play so many songs without all the studio effects make you realize just how good those guys really were. I've been wanting a new copy of this music since 1972, when my house burned down, along with my vinyl collection. This set was worth waiting for. Also, for some reason, I kept thinking of Art Dudley, and the influence he had on my changing my system to a return to analog, and the switch to tube amps and preamps, and speakers that would allow that to happen. Best night of music listening I can remember hearing, ever.
Regards,
Dan
