Title: My childhood is back!
Review: I had gotten so used to the CD versions of these Beatles oldies that I had forgotten how full the songs sounded in glorious stereo on my original LPs. The American mix is much more fun to listen to! Listening to these songs in the mono version is like listening to a Beethoven piano concerto on an "original" instrument, after you've already heard it on a concert Steinway. One gets the impression that Beethoven would have preferred the booming Steinway, and that the fab four would have preferred the Capitol mix. Drawback: way too expensive! Including the mono mixes doesn't really add anything, so basically you're paying about $48 for about 100-110 minutes of music. A ripoff, but I'm enjoying it anyway.
