Date undefinedOthers here have railed against the stereo mixes on the CD, as compared to the mono releases done originally.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the original mono releases.
But the stereo mixes on this CD are very worthwhile and in every case improve the listenability and punch. Also, glitches that appeared in the original mixes have been either highly glossed over or are completely absent on the CD.
Lady Madonna is the shining example of a superior-in-stereo mix. In the original mono mix, the piano, bass, and guitar all come out just fine. But what George Martin has done in the remix on this CD is stunning in its simplicity and directness - the piano intro starts off in one channel, and then the bass kicks in in the other channel, and the result is powerful, really emphasizing the funk that was there all along but somehow never came through in the mono mix. It's using the same simple mixing techniques that many original Beatles albums had, but to remarkable effect.

Date undefinedGreat collection of songs that I'm so glad have place to call home on a "real" Beatles album. For those of you who don't know what the Past Master's series are, they are all the songs that The Beatles produced that were only released on singles, not on an album. And this is of course referring to the albums released in the UK (the only ones that really matter). So many great songs. I love it and i was super excited i didn't have to get every single lame American version albums to get own every Beatles song recorded.
