abbey road question


does the newly re-issued vinyl abbey road sound much better than the half speed mastered mfsl from the 80's? My mfsl copy sounds like its under water for the first few songs-thanks.

Here's Fremer's take on Abbey Road:

I have both the MOFI and the new 2012 reissue. I prefer the
new reissue, but only by a small margin. The MOFI has
better bass and high frequency, but the 2012 reissue is
cleaner and has more "sparkle" to it. I also have
the Japanese EMI/Toshiba that came out 12 years or so ago
and find it to sound the best of the bunch.
I would have to disagree with Fremer on the domestic version. I have a Capital reissue from years ago that rivals my UK pressing and is much quieter(and cheaper). Also have a vinyl rip of the Toshiba.
I prefer early pressings in poor condition.
Surface noise with clicks and pops makes this record less boring.

I have a friend named Louis and his chocolate lab is named Abby.

One music night Louis and Abby walked in and Abby was very excited so I ask,

"Did Abby drive?" Another member responded,

"No...... Lewis drove and Abby rode"
I hear ya...nothing like a worn, crappy, noise-ridden copy of AR to liven up the day...oye vey.
