Been listening to The Beatles ...

I've been going through the whole catalogue -- both stereo and mono mixes -- and I've found myself actually enjoying these records even more than I thought I would. Even "Beatles for Sale" -- no one's favorite by the Fab Four -- isn't half bad. And the great records are sounding better than ever. Sure, many of us believe that these guys were the best rock band ever, but listening to 'em again and finding that to be true has been proving to be lots of fun. (And I haven't even played the Past Masters discs yet!)

I have been getting into the Beatles music more and more these days. I did not used to be a big fan. Their music grows on me each time I listen to it.

The Stereo set is actually worthy of a true audiophile rig.

As good as they sound...i was a bit let down in comparison to "Love" which sounds truly amazing...granted...there may have been some sonic "doctoring"...but there is also George Martin to give credit to...just my .02...at any rate...a marked improvement for most Beatle fans...i also wish they would have remixed the stereo set as well...

I also was hoping that the new Beatles CD was up to the same sonics as the Love Album as well,and it just is not really of the same quality.Although I am still pleased with the issues I have bought.Which are Get Back,Abbey Road, St. Peppers,Magical Mystery Tour, and The White Album.
The most disappointed to me was The White Album.Just to rough in the top end,and sounded thin in the midband for my tastes. I remebered The Mobile Fidelity Vinyl was much more sweet and natural sounding.
St. Peppers on the Stereo CD Master was nice,But Mobile Fidelity's UHQR Limited Edition is something very special sonically and wish I still had that,But sold it to Chad many years ago.The midband on that pressing is so natural sweet and real along with a more expansive soundstage and more post echo reverb from the studio could be heard.
Abbey Road Stereo remaster, and Magical Mystery Tour so far are the Best of the bunch that I have heard thus far,
But I hear that Rubber Soul is very special so I will be anxious to get that one.
