    Money Money Money !!! Another marketing ploy ! Milking a DEAD horse ! How much more can be squeezed ?
    Apple Records & Universal Music Group International again together !
    How about 4 lp's together ( or more ) next time ?
    It must have been never enough , looks like !
    Pitty on you , you are & will be always beggars yearning for more !!!

      Rush job.
      Why were the jackets not redesigned to accommodate 3LPs properly? Two records in one pocket? C’mon, this is a premium product…..
      Why is the running order not chronological? (Evidently they ran out of time)
      She Loves You is disappointingly dull- the top on the drums is mixed right down.
      The omission of Rain is downright criminal.
      That said- the material is great of course, and some of the remixes are spectacular.
      Such a shame it’s a bit of a botched job.

        Hmmm… very different from my 73 uk. I think the clarity makes it an interesting listen. The drums and bass sound pretty cool. But the vocals loose a lot of energy from the separation and the Meticulous attention on clarity. I can only say that this reworking somehow lacks the excitement and energy of the originals. It is fun to admire the musicianship , but the attitude suffers. To me it seems they took a lot of high end off the vocals to smooth them all out.

          I have to admit I was sceptical about using AI to reproduce these songs. I’d streamed Love Me Do and not been hugely impressed. Anyway I took the plunge using an unexpected gift to fund it and I’m glad I did… because these new versions are extraordinary. It was a lot of fun to listen to songs that I love a lot like I Feel Fine, Day Tripper and Paperback Writer these really cook… but also songs that I didn’t care for like Yesterday also have new depths which for me make them much more engaging than I previously found. The pressing quality is excellent, silent vinyl and no other surface noise to speak of.

            Excellent pressing, super clean. These new mixes will undoubtedly be debated ad nauseam. Nobody's wrong or right, it's just a matter of preference. I think they sound fantastic - great low end, detail and space, with none of the harsh mid-range buildup and distortion of the originals. BYO poly-lined inners - otherwise, no notes. Stellar set.

              Personally I think the new mixes are really good and the vinyl is pretty loud (someone said it was quiet). Very good pressing and packaging.

                How are the dynamics of the vinyl record compared to the 2014 AAA ones?

                  This isn't a review of the release, merely a comment. I bought both the 'Red' and 'Blue' digitally remastered coloured vinyl issues from HMV in the UK on the day of release (February 1994). They were £8.99 each. Yesterday, I saw this new issue in HMV. Yes, it's now 3 records instead of 2. Price? £74.99. That's all I wanted to say.

                    Vinyl is dead quiet. No background crackle, no clicks, no pops, no visible blemishes on any of the 6 sides. As 72 year old person who has all the original UK and US 1st mono and stereo pressings, I really enjoyed how this mix brought out two simultaneous lead guitars on left and right channels on several songs from Help and Rubber Soul era. John's acoustic strumming on Help sounds more natural on the right speaker than I've ever heard it before. True stereo version of Love Me Do. sounds great. I've always preferred the Stones to the Beatles, but this pressing brings new life into old familiar music. Long live Rock N Roll.

                      I think Giles Martin is a very brave man. 
                      These original Beatles recordings are very close to not just the British public, but fans throughout the world.  So what do the new re-mixes sound like?

                      So hearing these songs for the first time in stereo, thanks to new software assisted by AI. It's inciteful in being able to hear more into the recordings. There is a big however; whilst the mix seems to have gained space and air it, seems to have lost impact and weight. 

                      Definitely worth a listen, however It's something different. Worth getting? That's entirely up to the individual, however I see this as something new and hopefully introduces the fab four to a new generation. 

                      In terms of sound quality, it's decent but you can definitely hear quality is constricted by the technology of the day,  when the early songs were recorded, further exposed by de-mixing the original recordings and re-mixing these in stereo.
