Beatles - Love

I have just bought this and to be honest I am a little disappointed. The sound quality is really good but I find it a bit 'stars on 45'! Can they not just remaster the whole back catalogue in vinyl and cd, in a nice box set, which will persuade fools like me to splash major cash. Is that just too simple?

I did see the earlier thread but felt it was a little late to contribute. I think as I know the songs so well my brain works overtime, subconciously locating which song excerpt comes from where. In contrast my wife really enjoyed and just sang along to the songs! Probably one for the car!

Well, it is great in the car for sure, but it's actually one for the headphones ... there is so much going on under the surface that isn't necessarily be apparent in casual listening. There are bits of 100 songs in those 26 tracks, and one of these days I'm gonna find them all!

It's so much, much more than just the Stars on 45-style medley, and I can easily imagine that in casual listening much of what's really there goes right by without notice.

All best,
Fred
