Herman,
The recent MoFi editions of his (Lennon) solo CDs are excellent.They are also available on LP. Definately worth a try. I was skeptical, because they were remastered by Capitol not that long ago, and sounded fine. The MoFi releases are extremely impressive from the sound quality aspect.
As for the Beatles, it gets dicey on CD. The "Anthology" series are decent. I enjoy "Let It Be Naked" for the sound quality, but some people do not. "Yellow Submarine" got a remastering job in 1999 that surpasses the original.
The Beatles catalog is in dire need of the 24-bit makeover.
This has been an issue that resurfaces frequently, and may not be rectified until we get another format that survives.
