The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's


Certainly some of us have taken the plunge...(not me, not yet)?

The remix is great and much needed. It sounds fresh more balanced and less bright. What they did is what they did not bother to do in 67, take care with the stereo mix. All the time was spent on the mono, now all the mono was cab be bettered in the 50th mix. A must have. 
I have a superb music system both turntable and CD/SACD based

I have produced/mixed many multi million selling lps and singles including No1s

I use the records I have personally worked on to ensure my system sounds correct ( or near as dammit)

I am a Beatles fan. I have met George and Lady Martin, Paul and Yoko - and the guy who installed the same Beatles Yellow Submarine Jukebox in mine and Ringos house!

Here are my thoughts on the stereo LP vinyl remix. It's good. It's very good.

Yes Giles has made a few choices that I wouldn't have. The drum break in WALHFMF and one of Johns vocal parts in LITSWD ( where he sings 'eyes' at kaleidoscope eyes- it's ruddy AWFUL. WHY GILES WHY?) oh and perhaps 'that' over dramatic piano chord in ADITL spring to mind but by and large a) the bass is NOT overcooked b) the vocals are NOT too loud/too compressed c) the hihats are NOT too shiny etc

Regarding volume. Yup it's absolutely fine. One should NEVER change the volume for any record once it has been set properly for your listening environment. Every room has a 'right' volume level. Once set, don't change!
The Blu Ray mix is fantastic . The BEST & ONLY to hear it. Now Ozzy can buy it.
Im not buying it The Lucy in the sky. C. D.  Was a mess drums 
Moving all over the stage. Pauls
Voice jumping side to side. On and on. That gets old fast.  Every song
  Sir George. Im not impressed 
Every  Beatles album has problems.  Almoat.   Ill try and
Listen to white album today. Maybe its better.  Remastered 
Takes the soul. %80 out of music sounds to clean.  Only I  M. O 
Sorry 

 

yyman23, foey,

Thank you for your opinions on the Blu ray I appreciate it. Is the 24/96hz stereo version better than the CD?

Odd, that there is not much in the way of a formal review of the Blu Ray sound.

I wish I could just buy the Blu ray. The boxed set is going for $120+
