The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's

I just listened to the new mix for the first time and I think it's a winner.  Fresher, more natural, more spacious, more musical.  I don't agree with every choice he made but overall (at this moment) I think it's an improvement.  It's (mostly) the mix we should have had 50 years ago and it's sonically better as well.  I'd give Giles about a 97 on this.  Highly recommended.

Glad you like it. Me too. Agree with your assessment.

I bought a standalone copy (not a box set) and I concur that it does sound different, in a good way. I listened in the car and I had to turn down the rear subwoofer to keep the doors from rattling (seriously). Nice job on the remix! For anyone on the fence, it really is worth the money.

I listened with headphones today and it was definitely more dramatic.  A few "wow" moments.  I guess I need new speakers.

I'm clearly in a tiny little minority on this forum, but I can't bear the heavy compression/limiting. The new mix is certainly good, and on Good Morning, Good Morning in particular it is much improved, IMO. But the constant loudness and lack of dynamics makes my ears sad. I always have to return to the original mix (2009 USB 24-bit issue). Maybe, like with the recent McCartney remasters, they'll release a non-limited version, but I won't hold my breath.

Sgt Pepper is probably my favourite Beatles album.
