"Eleanor Rigby" Ebbetts Version!!I like this recording better than the Box Sets, but not as much as the 1987.
For what it's worth, my 1987 CD copy of "Revolver" was "Made in the UK"..... I know there are other flavors, but don't know anything beyond that.

I've been listening to the 24bit remasters for a couple of weeks. The resolution is there, but they cranked up the dynamic compression on Revolver, and all the others. The Beatles of all bands needs a wide dynamic range to bring out the full magnificence. It's tragic really. I wouldn't be surprised if you like some of your old CDs. They loose on resolution though.
The one "audiophile moment" I had with the 24bit remasters was the transition from "You Never Give Me Your Money" to "Sun King." There is a lot more going on there than I've ever heard before on any medium, vinyl included. The DR on Abbey Road seems to be better than Revolver, but not much.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
Personally, I'd prefer a 16 bit CD with the A/D straight from the original analog to 16 bit audio in a single conversion over a CD with the A/D from the original analog to 24 bits and then a second conversion to 16.
The roundabout point I was trying to make was that most pre 90s CDs even though they have many problems with the master used and primitive converters, still have superior DR, and are therefore worth keeping, and even listening to.

Okay, makes sense.
I'll take the 24bit file with a 24bit player, or conversion to DSD. I'm enjoying hi res. If they would only ease up on the DR.
