Beatles Vinyl Remastered!

The Beatles newly remastered catalog on vinyl is available today and the sound is absolutely stunning. Playing "In My Life," the sound was extremely transparent, smooth, revealing and full toned. Vocal separation (all in the right channel of course) is first rate, and Harrison's guitar (left channel) sounds bell-like and beautiful. Compared to a German Odeon pressing of the same title, the new Rubber Soul sounds distinctly more open and less compressed, cleaner, with less noise and more overall punch and greater dynamics. It's alive! The complete box set comes with a thick book detailing each album. Though the included photos are nothing new to Beatles fans, it's a beautiful accompaniment to a masterful production.
