Hey there Alex!
Are these new remasters worth the money?
When you already got Sgt Peppers (and other albums) in the 1987 edition?
Is the sound improved that much?
Cheers, Lody. [/b]
I only bought the Sgt Pepper remaster - I previously had it on vinyl. In fact it's my first Beatles CD - I've been borrowing the 1987 issues from my local library.
The sound is very good - very clean and smooth sounding, unlike what I've heard of the 1987 CDs which are a bit rough and distorted in places.
The packaging is excellent - lovely tri-fold digipack, with a very big booklet on quality glossy material! Plus the CD comes with a short documentary about the album (to play on your computer).
I'm seriously tempted to go for the Magical Mystery Tour remaster next... [/b]Thankx Alex.
I think I'll wait until a friend o' mine buys the album. Me I've got Revolver, Sgt Pepper's, the white album, and that blue 'best of'. I don't need more of them.
Currently listening to:
Porcupine Tree: The IncidentDisc 1 contains this opus of about 55 minutes, which is divided in 14 sections.
Disc 2 contains 4 songs that don't fit in, but their quality is equal: very good.
This is what progrock is all about.
(and Richard Barbieri does a fine job on it)
