2015 Remixed & Remastered
This greatest hits came out in 2000, got the remastered treatment in 2009
with the rest of the catalog and now is reintroduced in 2015 with "true" remixing.
The earliest of tracks are far from dramatically better, but once you get to 'A Hard Day's Night',
you can really hear the benefits of remixing. Remixing not only effects the clarity
but also changes up the sound-staging and punch. Pretty amazing in the later tracks.
The CD is worth the coin. But if you're a fan, the box sets are really cool
because they come with video's with remixed surround ... which again ...
as tracks get newer, the mixing really stands out.
The only other time Beatles content that was truly remixed was for the 'Love'
Cirque set and the Yellow Submarine 'Songtrack'.
If you're into The Beatles and want to hear more powerful renditions of
some of their work, remixed by Giles Martin (son of George Martin)
buy the 'Songtrack' and this new greatest hits.
It's killer !
Having heard the remixing job done,
I'm a big proponent of remixing the rest of the catalog.
Hopefully some day ...
