That would worry me. Sounds like heavy re-mastering. To make it
sound like 'new' stuff. Which is generally overdone. Too bright.

Depends what you like. I prefer this as it sounds more like it
would in the studio as opposed to what you'd hear on vinyl.

A properly made CD is effectively a clone of the master tape. Not so
vinyl.

My wife has quite a collection of the Beatles original LP's. Bought
new and still in excellent condition. They still sound good to me,
played
on an old but good direct drive deck and amp.and, (at the time)
expensive Leak speakers. Mike.

Indeed. I've got all the original LPs and all the original CDs. The
CDs sound to me exactly what I'd expect of a good dub from an
analogue master. And quite a good demonstration of the beauty of CD.
Listen to 'Michelle' on Rubber Soul. Shows all the LP artifacts being
the last track on the side, but of course clean on CD.

I have a good collection of beatles stuff, up to now the pinnacle being my
Dr Ebbetts remasters...from what I've heard of these new ones, I'll be
getting them in short order. Mono first i think.

As I said the original CDs are pretty well a straight dub from the master
tapes. And for the first four in mono too - just as recorded. Any
're-mastering' can only make things worse.
