New Beatles remasters

I bought 6 of the new remasters today in CD format. Abbey Road, Let It Be, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers, Rubber Soul, The White Album. They are discounted at Target to 11.99 buy 2 and get a $5 gift card. Great music and much more natural sound. You can play them at more realistic levels without the compression and glare of the lousy original releases. Your thoughts?

The overdub rumor is false.

Funny, I bought the same 6 disks as the first 2 posters.

I was worried that the remasters were more hype than substance, but I'm very pleased with the stereo disks. So much so, that I'll buy the Mono box when more are issued.

I hoped these remasters would offer a clearer vision of some historically important music, which they do, but they are also simply a joy to listen to.

"What readily available format would be better?

SACD would be my choice.

Yeah, I remember now, Purdie had to sneak in and fix the drum bits because you know how weak Paul's drumming sounded before he died, right? It's ALL SO OBVIOUS!

(ha ha that was a joke ha ha)
