Newbee here!

This is my first post but I was very impressed with YSS, particularly with the technology that allows the individual elements of the original recordings to be seperated and then re-mixed. IMHO the results are a significant improvement on the original mixes and I cannot help wanting to hear all the Beatles albums, particularly the early four track recordings, being given the same treatment. I know that this is a controversial point of view and many consider the original mixes should not be altered.

For me, the biggest improvement was undoubledly the new version of Let It Be. The improved sound quality and stronger sounding mixes made it feel like a Beatles album rather than the rough patchwork full of "Dig Its" and "Maggies" that we had earlier. Plus, we were finally rid of that awful orchestral score on "The Long and Winding Road".


Hey.... I like "Dig It"!


But... even though I've never seen the Yellow Submarine Songtrack CD, I've heard of it, and I think it's a brilliant idea. That's my idea of what the LP should have been. Instead of those tiring instrumental tracks. With all due respect to the great George Martin, they don't really have place on a Beatles' album.

I liked Let it Be naked, it just sounds better, on the original you get a production which is just sickly, in my opinion far to too much. The original versions of things like across the universe just sound wrong compared to the "new version"

Yellow Submarine Songtrack

I'm a little suprised to see Let It Be Naked in the lead.  I'm still a bit burned with the exclusion of previous songs from that one.  I also liked the orchestration on the...never mind, that's probably a whole different subject.


I'm off like a herd of turtles.

I really like how they fixed up Baby Your A Rich Man on the Yellow Sub Songtrack, the vocals are so much more clear.

LIBN and YSS are tied for me, They we're both mixed using the same process (pro tools) and engineers.

1 on the other hand gives you 24 bit remastering, which, although clearer than the 80's CD's had already been used on the red and blue compilations, so it's not anywhere near being in the same league as the other two.
