Picked up Sgt Pepper last night. I hope to give it a listen today after work.

If you are a Beatles fan this is a must have. If your not a Beatles fan after hearing this then you’re just sick and should get help.  May daughter and her friends are huge Beatles fans after watching Across the Universe. Looks like I'm gonna have to pick a few of these up seing as how the only beatles I have is on very worn tape.

Went and got Abbey Road late last night. I'm excited about giving it a listen this weekend.

I got the whole stereo box set the other day. They all sound better than the original CD releases in the 80's, but the earlier albums have more of an improvement than the newer ones. "Beatles for Sale" to me sounds REMARKABLY improved.
They sound so good that I can actually listen to the Beatles again with the Axioms without getting a headache! I love them!

Did they leave in the bizarre stereo panning effects?

The CDs were remastered, not remixed. So all of the effects are still there.

Anyone feel like posting an audacity waveform graph from some of these remasters? I usually think of "remastered" and "overcompressed" as belonging together. I like the Beatles but for whatever reason I own absolutly zero beatles music. I'm considering sucking it up and just buying the whole set. Anyone care to comment on the set vs individual discs?

I think the price is similar, so I'm just going to pick the ones I want and buy 'em.

I've bought 3 so far, "Beatles for Sale", "Hard Days Night" and "Rubber Soul". I think B4S is perhaps the best of the three with RS close, for some reason HDN doesn't seem as big an improvement as the other two, but still a little better to my ear.
Please note, I did not go to the SS Academy of Golden Ear Training so YMMV.
