    Good recording but anything from the best band the world has ever known is going to be good.Got the original vinyl as well as remastered cd all sound good,but this is much warmer .Being cynical you could say that George Martins son Giles doing the production is a bit of a hype, as we don’t know what it would sound like if another producer did it ?

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI get it now. I’ve always liked the beatles but only because I listened to the greatest hits. I’ve now got a turntable and I’m slowly collecting the albums. Sgt pepper was my first and now this one. Tremendous. Great pressing too, just a shame the whole presentation is basic, I’d love a double disc or extras but 60 for the deluxe version is a big jump from the 18 here!

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersLikes: The music. Don’t need to elaborate. The first album I bought with my own money as a kid in 1969. Anyhoo, someone reckoned The Beatles are “over-praised”. Got to admit, that made me laugh. Abbey Road….like Pepper…was, and still is a benchmark piece of work. It sells now for that very reason.
    Dislikes: This new edition on vinyl (my weapon of choice). So much surface noise on Side 2. I have a decent record cleaning machine, and I will have to spool it up in the next couple of days to try and give side 2 a going over. It’s quality 180g vinyl, and it’s as flat as a snooker table, so no issues there…..it’s purely the surface noise.

    Golden Review Award: 23 From Our UsersI was in two minds about getting this 50th anniversary edition on vinyl, I had only recently bought a copy of the original album on vinyl and it is superb, however, Giles Martin has done an excellent job on previous remastering of Beatles albums. The other reason I took the plunge was that, in my desire to gain some respite from the surreal world of U.K. politics, I tuned into Radio 2s pop up Beatles station to mark the 50th anniversary of this album. Spending a day listening to Beatles music clinched it.

    Bearing in mind how excellent the original mastering was I am rather thrilled how good this is, simultaneously faithful to the original and bringing out greater clarity and depth to the sound throughout. Knowing that this album was arriving today I listened to my newish copy of the original last night and wondered if this remastered version could possibly add anything, it does.
