Spectacular! Such a joy to hear The Beatles' songs remixed and remastered by Giles Martin, son of George Martin - The Beatles' original producer. Some Beatles "purists" don't care for these remix/remasters. Fair enough. Opinions, right? I grew up listening to the Beatles in the '60s. I bought and loved the original cd releases from the '80s, loved the 2009 remasters - and, I love these new remix/remasters beginning with the Sgt. Peppers 50th Anniversary Edition from 2017. This 1962 - 1966 "greatest hits" offering provides us with a new take on the early Beatles' (limited) stereo imaging by employing AI to dissect their original two and four track tapes - isolate individual instruments and voices - and then remix those individual items into a fresh soundscape of tried-and-true hits that continue to influence modern music 60-years after The Beatles left their indelible imprint on the world. I love the songs and the original recordings. And, I love that Giles Martin and The Beatles have provided us with a modern (yet rooted) take on songs that continue to shape the way we listen to music today. Read full review

Just Finished listening to the "Red" album - with the 2023 remixes, which were much anticipated. I'm still sorting through my impressions - the majority of which, are positive. Without giving away my age LOL!!, I was 13 when the Fabs hit the US...I have listened to all of these wonderful tracks through most of my life...so, there are nuisances in the music and subtilties that I expect and enjoy. For the most part that experience has been, thankfully, preserved. Overall the remixing is brilliant..with only a few tracks having issues (To My Ears, and on my system). "She Loves You" and the 4 tracks from "Help" (BTW - My favorite Beatle LP) were somewhat disappointing..."Ticket To Ride" sounds "Muddy" , "Help" has lost some Sparkle and ""Hide Your Love Away" has John's voice too up front - diminishing the other details such as tambourine, maracas and some guitar. "She Loves You" has finally been mixed in Stereo...but it does not reach the level of the other tracks -Having said all that, the rest of the remixes will be my go -to versions from now on. I hope and pray the the issues with the "Help" tracks are resolved before a deluxe package is offered. Thanks for listening Read full review

Great collection of early Beatles material well packaged. Rear tracker two would’ve been nice to make it a good value for fans that already have all of the music

It all really sounds great, However, they absolutely destroyed I am the Walrus, I'm giving this CD four stars. It would have been five, but this Walrus debacle leaves me cold.
