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?

Point of correction. George Martin had nothing to do with this project.

That's correct. He had nothing to do with this project. Good thing as he is suffering from a significant hearing loss.

I bought two of the mono boxes and the three stereo only albums (Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road and Let It Be). I've always preferred the original mono albums to the ping pong stereo of the early records. Unless they release on SACD I can't imagine better sounding digital versions.

To Cam3366, these releases have been remastered. They have not been remixed which would be required to alter the stereo presentation.

To my ears, compression was not intrusive on Abbey Road and
Let It Be. That's the only stereo versions I have. I prefer the Beatles in mono.
