I have to disagree with Fremer's discription.
I own an excellent copy of the original US #'ed album, and an early British album.
The US #'ed copy is no where in the league of the new 2012.
The British copy was cleaner than the US, but the new 2012 has real PRAT.
Compared to either other copy, i want to DANCE to the 2012 release.
It has some marvelous quality those others do not posess.
I sold my Brit copy, and am only keeping the US copy for sentimental reasons.
I played the new copy through my Rega P5 with Benz Glider. To Bryston BP1.5 phono. to Bryston BP26, to Bryston 4B-SST2 to my magnepan 3.6 speakers.
I use a Furman REF20i power conditioner.
I haave to say in general I seem to be the ony one saying the 2012 Beatles White Album is the best.
But i stand by what I heard from it.
I bought the separate albums. All except Yellow Submarine.
