The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's

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

I listened in the car and I had to turn down the rear subwoofer to keep the doors from rattling (seriously). Nice job on the remix! For anyone on the fence, it really is worth the money.

The new mix is certainly good, and on Good Morning, Good Morning in particular it is much improved, IMO. But the constant loudness and lack of dynamics makes my ears sad. I always have to return to the original mix (2009 USB 24-bit issue). Maybe, like with the recent McCartney remasters, they'll release a non-limited version, but I won't hold my breath. Sgt Pepper is probably my favourite Beatles album.
