The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's


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

OK. Now the remixed album. Vocals more prominent and more centered on all songs. Bass slightly amped up (or I believe, more precisely, untrimmed) and better defined. Instrumentation sounds less brittle in parts on the remix. I no longer automatically buy anything "Beatles" (and passed on the stereo box set from hi res files). But the mono box set is an easy recommendation. This is not quite as necessary--but it is TOTALLY COOL and therefore I am not at all sorry for the purchase and will be listening to this set well into the future as perhaps a different but equal sonic version of the wonderland that is SGT Peppers.
@reubent, I am also a huge fan of the re-mixed Yellow Sub.  I believe that one is the work of Sir George (not sure, will have to check) and it breathes new life into those tunes.  The piano intro on Hey Bulldog jumps out of the speakers like never before. 
I believe the Beatles management is now in the "milking mode" of material previously unreleased by the fab four. The one thing that becomes clear as I listen to raw takes is the magic that George Martin brought to the finished product. Don't misunderstand, the Beatles were genius, but without George Martin their legacy might not have been as memorable. "Hey Bulldog" and "It's All Too Much" are favorites of mine too.

I'm still waiting for someone to review the sound quality of the Blu Ray before I buy (the boxed set)..

Reviews on Amazon are numerous and very positive. 10 to 1 positive.  

On the Steve Hoffman Forums a poll has 245 people preferring the 2017 stereo remix to 179 preferring the 1967 stereo mix.
  
There has been some additional compression done in the new mix but it appears most people like it anyway.  The original album did not have a wide dynamic range to begin with.
