Been listening to The Beatles ...

I've been going through the whole catalogue -- both stereo and mono mixes -- and I've found myself actually enjoying these records even more than I thought I would. Even "Beatles for Sale" -- no one's favorite by the Fab Four -- isn't half bad. And the great records are sounding better than ever. Sure, many of us believe that these guys were the best rock band ever, but listening to 'em again and finding that to be true has been proving to be lots of fun. (And I haven't even played the Past Masters discs yet!)

I agree with the slight emphasis in the upper range, keep us posted after you listen to the mono set...

I have "Rubber Soul","Revolver","The Beatles","Abbey Road" and "Let It Be" on CD.I was surprised by how much better they sound.I highly reccomend them.I will be getting "Sgt. Pepper" and "Magical Mystery Tour".I don't care for their earlier stuff but that's just me.

Tpreaves, i had the same feelings as toward the early stuff, but i bought the box set and have been listening , and i must say the early stuff has impressed me alot. just one awsome band front to back , and its great to hear them with such clarity.

Love the mono mixes. Have been listening a lot to White and Revolver. I especially like forgotten songs like "Long" by George. I also like that Ringo's playing is more defined and Paul's bass lines are a nice counterpoint in many of the songs.

Listened to Abbey Road the other night. For the most part I thought it sounded excellent but IMO there are few places that could use a bit more help, no pun intended.
