Beatles 1 sound quality?

I have recently purchased the Beatles 1 cd. I have almost all of these songs on other Beatle cd's. This release of these remastered Beatles songs have less background noise but do not sound as good as my older Beatle cd's.Could some sort of noise reduction be responsible for (IMO) a percieved loss in the recording or is it just the remastering? Thanks, Frank.

I have the 1 on vinly. It is the equal of my half speed master of Abbey Road. Don't know if it is a vinyl vs cd issue or not.

I would rate it poor - take a listen to "Love" to better understand what the Beatles could sound like with a truly great remastering.

Try Purple Chick on the internet. Beatles at their sonic best. Google this and download. Very impressive.

If you are alluding to the MFSL recording, it is actually quite poor. There are many better versions of Abbey Road.

MFSL did a lousy job with the Beatles albums.
