The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's


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

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.
Just one last comment. Not all "original albums" are the same. I recall that, as a teen (in the 1960's), I always bought the UK versions of Beatle records as they simply sounded more natural, without the pumped up bass and exaggerated treble of the US versions. I haven't done any A/B comparisons, but I suspect that current technology has allowed record manufacturers to enhance the qualities the early UK versions and extend the frequency and dynamic range, giving them a clear open sound.
I got the new 2017 stereo mix on vinyl today

AH MAY ZING

for any Beatles fan avoid this new LP set at your own peril
