Review title: Remix delivers mixed results
Product review: Personally I'm not convinced by the new mixes. It's good to have a longer "It's All Too Much" but I'd have prefered the original mix and the same is true of all the other songs - the surround sound remixes are great for the cinema and/or video but on a stereo they mostly sound plain odd. Part of this is me being a purist - you CAN'T tamper with George Martin's productions for god's sake! But also, on many of the mixes it sounds like the guts have been ripped out of the songs (especially "All You Need Is Love" and "Baby You're A Rich Man") - the originals may be a little 'muddy' but sometimes all that compression adds a kind of fizz to the sound that painstaking hi-fi digital sound can't compete with. I think the songtrack's compilers should have issued 20 bit remasters of the original 60s mixes (there was a mix of the complete "Too Much" done at the time) because this CD just sounds, well, wrong. 5 stars for the music but just 2 for the CD itself.
