I have to say I'm a wee bit disapointed with the remastered stereo set. Since these are my first forays into Beatles on CD, I suppose I've nothing to compare them to (and thus no sense of their previous quality on CD) except the DVD-A of Love. I am left with the impression that a broad catalog treatment on hi-rez 5.1 (remixed of course) would be glorious. In that context, these remaster seem a bit .... pedestrian!

Youre right Simon on that. Eleanor Rigby comes to mind. On Love (even 2 channel CD) the mix is perfect. On Revolver, the mix is just OK. You'll have to trust me on Abbey Road. The new CD is really fantastic in comparison but I think if George and Giles Martin could really remix the elements today the result would be spectacular.
Best regards,
Jerry

I created some album art for the Mono Masters CD as it doesn't appear to be available anywhere yet: ![[Linked Image from img6.imageshack.us]](http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/6608/beatlesmonomasters.jpg)

Not really. All I did was add MONO MASTERS to an existing image...

Yesterday I had a chance to listen to the white album through an 808.2 fed directly to a pair of 7200s- it was simply stunning!

Well, upon further reflection (and listening) I may have been somewhat premature in my assessment of these remasters. although I do stick by my intitial reaction that 'boy these would be great re-mixed into hi-rez 5.1', I am pretty impressed and can see why this band was kinda popular!
Abbey Road and Sgt. Pepper really jump out in Trifield. Nice! I've also decided that the stereo set does me well and won't bother with also getting the mono set.
