The Beatles – 1

Wonderful compilation of the Beatles' greatest. The remasters in this sound much better than previous remasters. They're much closer to the original tapes and sound less harsh. My only complaint is that the volume in the tracks can be inconsistent at times. For example, Come Together is very quiet, while Something, right before it, is very loud. But otherwise this is a great collection. Good mastering and pressing quality. If you're looking for the definitive Beatles record, this is it.

Not even CD quality. How can so many people think this sounds good? It sucks.

In reference to a 1-1-9 variant, as if it really matters. Peter Mew(tilator) and his sonic solutions no noise and the 24bit to 16bit super shaping to make every song sound the same... just like the R.I.A.A. curve!

Anyone know the difference between Peter Mew’s 2000 and Miles Showell’s 2015 masterings, thanks.

Excellent SQ for the format, a quality compilation too !

These are remixes by Giles Martin, the son of George Martin. It's also remastered. The sound quality is great, but some of the mixes are failures. Most notably "Get Back" where the drums are mixed very low. Also "Come Together" has very low volume level compared to the other tracks. I don't know if this was a mistake, but I checked on Spotify and it's the same there. For me, it's a .

I'm amazed by how negative some of these comments are. These remixes are absolutely wonderful to me. Quite a bit more faithful to the original stereos than later remixes, yet still massive improvements, but significantly better balanced and much more lively. I also prefer many of these mixes to the redos on the 1962 - 1966 remix.

27 songs by the Beatles that hit the number one position on the chart in either the USA or the UK. Of course this is a five star collection.

The enormous credit list should give one a sense of perspective when assessing this Beatles love-in. Who's buying this? This is for aficionados. Wallow and enjoy! A spectacular effort!!!
