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.


I have read reviews than went both ways on the new Beatles LP's ... I have a copy sitting unopened and it's on the block for this weekends Friday night jam session. Fremer is very particular and speaks his mind. He's been writing for 30 years and I have been reading his stuff for almost that long. He certainly isn't the final word but he knows vinyl. I am happy with the pressings so far but I almost wished MoFi would have headed up this project again. I like the work they do and some of their repressings are amazing to my ears. I was hoping (as I think we all were) that technology and time would have taken these masterpieces to a whole new level. I didn't feel that way but never the less, I am very pleased so far. I might even buy a second copy to keep sealed.
Elizabeth-
Have you listened to Rubber Soul-do you agree with MF that its a 5/10 sound quality. For me 5/10 approaches sound of a cassette tape. The reissue must really sound god awful to get a 5/10.
Interesting that Fremer found the new Hard Days Night sonically the best in the box-- likely because this is the only one with an RTI plating. This raises the question of whether the non-Rainbo Euro box may surpass the US box. I may purchase AHDN just to compare to my Parlophone. Then there are the forthcoming mono LPs... All in all way too much of a money grab to get out of the weeds.

The new White Album is on most counts surpassed by the US original, and on all counts surpassed by the French EMI Marconi pressing I found for $50.
Based on what I have read, I will be springing for European pressings of these Beatles reissue LPs.
