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.
