The Beatles Revolver

I just listened to the Revolver HR download and though the voices are centered and overall, it sounds better, I was expecting much more.

Some of the music sounds a little sharp, and not in a good way. But again, overall, it is better, perhaps not up to the hype. IMHO.

Thank you for the follow up.  Good to read that own those coveted U. K. and Japan box set copies for proper comparison.  My CD edition is enroute. Also, I own the U.K. Bread Box set. Any fan cannot own enough copies of The Fab 4 !!!

Keep me posted as you continue to compare the various copies in your collection.

Happy Listening!

I'll have to listen to the album a few more times but saying the music is sharp is interesting because when comparing it to older pressing I'd say yes but I could also say that the older ones sound a little flat depending on which pressing when comparing .  One thing I've noticed about new music is the balance between voices and all the instruments where in older music ( 60's & 70"s ) some of the instruments were to much in the background and some to much of the time there was to much left and right verse the balanced approach the Giles created .

I had to look up the Bread Box set since I don't follow CD's , but I do have Rubber Soul , Revolver and Magical Mystery Tour CD's from 1987 , US EMI .

Excellent! Most Audiophiles will discard those 1987 CDs.  Most of those discs are Flat transfers. Not a bad thing. The other Audiophiles will say, purchase the 2009 Remasters on CD.  
Besides my Bread Box, which is a very cool concept and design, I own the Disk Union Japan SHM- CD set. This particular set is a beautiful package that sits in my safe.  I believe it is comparable to your 1982 LP Japan set. Only newer technology.

Happy Listening!

Never thought I’d get this kind of response thank you all for posting. I received my single LP copy yesterday and it sounds very good. Still prefer my Mono copy but it sounds good. But I still ask is it still Revolver? Same songs but different album. But if it opens The Beatles music to a new audience I guess it a good thing. And now I have 92 albums by The Beat;es.
