The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's

I have a superb music system both turntable and CD/SACD based

I have produced/mixed many multi million selling lps and singles including No1s

I use the records I have personally worked on to ensure my system sounds correct ( or near as dammit)

I am a Beatles fan. I have met George and Lady Martin, Paul and Yoko - and the guy who installed the same Beatles Yellow Submarine Jukebox in mine and Ringos house!

Here are my thoughts on the stereo LP vinyl remix. It's good. It's very good.

Yes Giles has made a few choices that I wouldn't have. The drum break in WALHFMF and one of Johns vocal parts in LITSWD ( where he sings 'eyes' at kaleidoscope eyes- it's ruddy AWFUL. WHY GILES WHY?) oh and perhaps 'that' over dramatic piano chord in ADITL spring to mind but by and large a) the bass is NOT overcooked b) the vocals are NOT too loud/too compressed c) the hihats are NOT too shiny etc

Regarding volume. Yup it's absolutely fine. One should NEVER change the volume for any record once it has been set properly for your listening environment. Every room has a 'right' volume level. Once set, don't change!

The Blu Ray mix is fantastic . The BEST & ONLY to hear it. Now Ozzy can buy it.

Im not buying it The Lucy in the sky. C. D.  Was a mess drums 
Moving all over the stage. Pauls
Voice jumping side to side. On and on. That gets old fast.  Every song
  Sir George. Im not impressed 
Every  Beatles album has problems.  Almoat.   Ill try and
Listen to white album today. Maybe its better.  Remastered 
Takes the soul. %80 out of music sounds to clean.  Only I  M. O 
Sorry 

 

I have all their CDs and some digital remasters.  I'll buy the 5.1 when the price is a good value.  Right now it is not (for me).
