can it get any better. and LOVE that it's quoted at the end of my new favorite book - it's inspirational but not cheesy - Live Like A Fruit Fly - also on amazon :)
This cd is Abbey Road like you have never heard it before. Each individual instrument is crystal clear. It's the best 'remastered' cd I have ever bought.
I can tell the mix is virtually the same as the vinyl but it is much more vibrant and easy to pick out distinct instruments and vocal parts. A friend advised me that it was a bad transfer. Abby Road was one of the few Beatles albums I did not replace with CD the first time it was available. It's a redundant statement but it sounds just like the original but a lot better. I heard a few tracks from his copy and agreed to stick with my vinyl copy and transfer it myself on a good computer when I had the time. The Martin family treated this re-mastering project just like George treated all the original Beatles recordings, like it was one of his children. It's not like the first CD release of the rolling Stones or ZZ Top where they cleaned it up so much it lost something, this one is done the way George Martin would have done it forty years ago if he had a computer to mix it on. I am glad I waited for the re-mastered Abby Road.
My favorite track is Here Comes the Sun. The Beatles' popularity was only rivaled by Elvis and Michael Jackson inh his prime. This is one of the Beatles' best albums in their latter days as a band. The Beatles were to that generation what Marilyn Manson was to his generation and Britney Spears when she went shock rock to now yesterday's generation. The music is cool, I just prefer pop oriented metal to the Beatles' mature melodies.
The Beatles recorded at a time when engineers were experimenting with stereo, and although i enjoy the effects they came up with, it's not a "realistic" sound that we are accustomed to today. Peppers and Abbey Rd. It was also the custom of the day to under-record the bass.The remastering of their recordings is brilliant. I bought Sgt. Now I want them all. It breaths new life into the music of the most incredible band in the history of popular music.
