All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary sets due to be announced tomorrow

Anytime I play Wah Wah from the album, the awful SQ makes me feel wah wah.

Otherwise, timeless album. I'll just keep playing my period press.
I wonder just how much better this copy is

This guy has mastered the art of "sell the sizzle" and not the steak, in his descriptions of albums. 

Phil Spector made an awful mess of that album. . . call me cynical but I'd be surprised if much could be done to significantly improve it. . . 

I can stand to listen to the MoFi Gold disc of Layla and my Japanese SHM of Exile On Main Street (with the treble rounded off using Schiit Loki), to mention a couple other classics with poor SQ but I haven't found a version of ATMP that's listenable. 

It would be great if I'm proven wrong, but I'll be shocked if that's the case.  

Just checked out the official description that include this nugget:  "The new mix transforms the album by sonically upgrading it – making it sound brighter, fuller and better than ever before".

Since when is "brighter" a good thing when it comes to CDs?  Maybe this is designed to compensate for Boomer generation hearing losses but I'm 65 and the two versions of ATMP that I've bought and promptly gotten rid of were both plenty bright.  I don't view this as an encouraging sign.

I guess we’ll find out if we like it in August when it’s released.

The original CD release of ATMP was very dull and washed out. The release with the colored front album art was better. It’s one recording that needed a little sharpening up. Could be a good thing here if done well. Digital remastering has come a long way and done some nice things in  recent years with older Beatles recordings.
