New Beatles remasters


I bought 6 of the new remasters today in CD format. Abbey Road, Let It Be, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers, Rubber Soul, The White Album. They are discounted at Target to 11.99 buy 2 and get a $5 gift card. Great music and much more natural sound. You can play them at more realistic levels without the compression and glare of the lousy original releases. Your thoughts?

Those of you who have made the comparison so far: Can you be more detailed about the ways in which the new versions seem better than the old? Ie, what about the sound is better now?

Just saying they're better doesn't help promote dialogue or understanding.
Thanks Mike. That is what I am looking for. For me, the most important aspect is the realism of the sound. I found, for example, that the sound of the Rolling Stones re-masters is a good deal less real than the sound of the originals.

Some reviewers have said that the re-mastered Beatles CDs are louder than the originals by a noticeable amount. Is this something that you corrected for in your listening?
