Remastered White Album on vinyl

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.

I ordered the new US Revolver just to check it out. I have White Album and
Abbey Road on old MFSL and never thought they were special sounding.
My 'standard' issue copies of the Beatles are all US issue, but not in the
greatest condition. People really seem to like the Parlophone Blue Box.

Tbromgard, The stereo separation is very hard left and right with the center stage in most songs empty. It comes directly from the speakers. Very strange. It does show more detail than the mono version I have picked up for comparison, but that just showcases the odd stereo mix.

I had never had a copy of Rubber Soul and love it for it's music, so although I am not put off by the digital sound as Mr. Femmer is, I like him, cannot warn you strongly enough about the mix. Every time I reach for it now I seem to play the mono version.
