What are your notes and thoughts on The Beatles White Album Giles Martin remaster?

The Esher demos, never before so clear, are the highlight of the whole set, but the regular album is pretty good too. Seems to sound similar in tone, but a bit less compressed than Giles’ previous effort with Sgt Pepper 2017.

I’d say it sounds slightly like a cartoon version of original vinyl, but certainly not unpleasant, far from it.

It's also great to see the tapes holding up so well after 50+ years.

Has anyone compared vinyl to cd. I've been told the Esher songs are much better on vinyl just wondering if that's true.

Thanks All!

I listened to it on Tidal and was super impressed. I'm putting it on my Christmas list for sure.  Some of the Ascher demoes are really interesting. 

Hope you guys had a White (album) Christmas!

I think I'll do another comparative listen between the 1987 and 2018 versions, perhaps in a different system at a friends in the New Year.

The 2018 is no doubt a lovely sounding addition, but the '87 remains the definitive digital version for me because it closest to what I grew up with (1970s UK vinyl).

Newcomers may well prefer the  Giles Martin interpretation and I wouldn't blame them.
