Steve, I watched an interested review of the 50th release on YouTube. This person, and I typically trust his opinions, stated that these ‘ex Beatles’ releases are very tough to remix as Apple will not release the origional tapes to anyone. Ever. Thus, it is very limited to what can be done. Now, I personally don’t think that is all bad, as good or bad, the origional should have merit. Of course that assumes the artist, George in this case, agreed with the overall sound released originally. 

I have the original, and enjoy it. At times though, I think the Spector ‘wall of sound’ is just too much at times. It’s simply too ‘blurred’ and dense. It’s interesting that these guys maintained that late Spector relationship after the Beatles broke-up.

Brian,

Just on lp 2, these differences I tried to highlight on my first listen were easy to hear. Listening to the original, on first comparison, showed it's failings to what George, (according to Dhani) was aware of.

Early on.....fun.
