Spectacular! Such a joy to hear The Beatles' songs remixed and remastered by Giles Martin, son of George Martin - The Beatles' original producer. Some Beatles "purists" don't care for these remix/remasters. Fair enough. Opinions, right? I grew up listening to the Beatles in the '60s. I bought and loved the original cd releases from the '80s, loved the 2009 remasters - and, I love these new remix/remasters beginning with the Sgt. Peppers 50th Anniversary Edition from 2017. This 1962 - 1966 "greatest hits" offering provides us with a new take on the early Beatles' (limited) stereo imaging by employing AI to dissect their original two and four track tapes - isolate individual instruments and voices - and then remix those individual items into a fresh soundscape of tried-and-true hits that continue to influence modern music 60-years after The Beatles left their indelible imprint on the world. I love the songs and the original recordings. And, I love that Giles Martin and The Beatles have provided us with a modern (yet rooted) take on songs that continue to shape the way we listen to music today. Read full review

These remixes don't sound as good as reviews led me to believe. Examination of the music files in Audacity reveals lots of hard compression and/or clipping, especially on the oldest tracks. The tracks are sort of like expecting a nice drink of Coke and discovering that you have a glass of Coke-new formula.

Just Finished listening to the "Red" album - with the 2023 remixes, which were much anticipated. I'm still sorting through my impressions - the majority of which, are positive. Without giving away my age LOL!!, I was 13 when the Fabs hit the US...I have listened to all of these wonderful tracks through most of my life...so, there are nuisances in the music and subtilties that I expect and enjoy. For the most part that experience has been, thankfully, preserved. Overall the remixing is brilliant..with only a few tracks having issues (To My Ears, and on my system). "She Loves You" and the 4 tracks from "Help" (BTW - My favorite Beatle LP) were somewhat disappointing..."Ticket To Ride" sounds "Muddy" , "Help" has lost some Sparkle and ""Hide Your Love Away" has John's voice too up front - diminishing the other details such as tambourine, maracas and some guitar. "She Loves You" has finally been mixed in Stereo...but it does not reach the level of the other tracks -Having said all that, the rest of the remixes will be my go -to versions from now on. I hope and pray the the issues with the "Help" tracks are resolved before a deluxe package is offered. Thanks for listening Read full review

Great collection of early Beatles material well packaged. Rear tracker two would’ve been nice to make it a good value for fans that already have all of the music

It all really sounds great, However, they absolutely destroyed I am the Walrus, I'm giving this CD four stars. It would have been five, but this Walrus debacle leaves me cold.
