Just like with many Beatles albums originally recorded in mono, it's tricky to appreciate the stereo versions when you're used to the original mono versions. EMI's engineers had to remove effects (especially from Rubber Soul onwards) or the natural sound of instruments to create a left/right separation... so this album ends up sounding like a nice copy, but without its soul.
Translated automatically,Very exaggerated: indeed, the bass is more pronounced on the classic stereo version, but this somewhat muffles the sound.
Translated automatically,Fans of the 1987 CD will likely be quite pleased with this pressing. While the stereo separation isn't as pronounced as the Hörzu or even the CD itself, and the dynamism doesn't quite match the Hörzu (A-1X/B-3X matrices), it still holds its own. Compared to the 2009 remaster that hit vinyl in 2012, this DMM pressing seems to share more similarities with the Hörzu, particularly in the high frequencies. Considering the current market, where even less-than-perfect Hörzu pressings fetch over $100, a clean copy of this or other late 80s to mid-90s DMM variants offers great value. It includes true stereo masters of "Penny Lane," "Baby You're A Rich Man," and "All You Need Is Love." The end of "I Am The Walrus" remains (mostly) in fake stereo, just like on the CD, which wasn't corrected until the 2006 LOVE remix.
If you're a fan of the 1987 CD, you'll likely appreciate this pressing quite a bit. The stereo separation isn't as pronounced as what you'll find on the Hörzu or even the CD itself, and the dynamism doesn't quite match what you can hear on the Hörzu (A-1X/B-3X matrices) either. Compared to the 2009 remaster that hit vinyl in 2012, I reckon this DMM sounds more akin to the Hörzu when it comes to the high frequencies. However, considering the current market and the fact that even somewhat worn Hörzu pressings are fetching well over $100, a clean copy of this or any of the other late 80s-mid 90s DMM variants is a pretty good deal. This one includes true stereo remasters of Penny Lane, Baby You’re A Rich Man, and All You Need Is Love. The end of I Am The Walrus is still (mostly) in fake stereo, just like on the Hörzu and CD. This wasn't fixed until the LOVE remix from 2006.
In the pictures, there's a Sgt. Pepper's arm, but it ought to be a white one, why is that?
