Product Description
The classic original Beatles studio albums have been re-mastered by a dedicated team of engineers at Abbey Road Studios in London over a four year period utilising state of the art recording technology alongside vintage studio equipment, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. The result of this painstaking process is the highest fidelity the Beatles catalogue has seen since its original release.
Within each CD's new packaging, booklets include detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. For a limited period, each CD will also be embedded with a brief documentary film about the album. The newly produced mini-documentaries on the making of each album, directed by Bob Smeaton, are included as QuickTime files on each album. The documentaries contain archival footage, rare photographs and never-before-heard studio chat from The Beatles, offering a unique and very personal insight into the studio atmosphere.

 Saving you some time November 26, 2009
Thomas A. Wright (Matthews NC)
It's very simple, this is the best production CD of the White Album that has ever been released. If you are a Beatle fan this is a must have item. I have purchased three new remastered CD's (White Album, Let It Be and Abbey Road) so far and plan to purchase the others soon. Trust me on this one!
 REMASTER SOUNDS AMAZING November 15, 2009
A Viewer (Elgin, IL)
Like a lot of people, I think this double album should have been pared down to a single record. I could easily live without "Martha My Dear", "Don't Pass Me By", "Bungalow Bill", "Ob-La-Di Ob-La Da", "Revolution 9" and several others. But what I do like here is some of the Beatles best work. "Dear Prudence" is as good a song as they ever did, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is my favorite George Harrison song, and contains one of Eric Clapton's most heartfelt guitar solos. "Blackbird" and "Julia" are achingly beautiful. Great stuff on here.
The new remastered disc (I have the stereo) sounds incredible. I've heard five of the new versions, Beatles for Sale, Past Masters, Revolver, The Beatles, and Abbey Road, and this one and Abbey Road sound the best, although they are all much improved from the previous 1987 vintage CD's. I only hesitate to award it five stars because I have to skip fully half the songs on this disc. But to me, it's still well worth buying.
Retrospect:Do we really need to go back there? November 13, 2009

To be brief; Were all recordings made of the questionable quality enhanced here? Like Lennon's "Primal" the inadequacies of the time were obscured by the emotional nature of the offerings. Springstein at Hammersmith is an excellent example of artists whose recordings literally encapselled the moment. You could almost smell the leaves outdoors in the park on that particular "frozen?" moment in time. Enhancement of the 'beatles "white album" leaves us with the question; What was the flavor of the time that compelled us to swallow whole large tracts of post-psychedelic euphoria?
Awesome album, but still sounds the same as previous CD November 12, 2009

Abbey Road and The White Album are my two all-time favorite Beatles albums. So you can imagine my excitement when I put this disc into my CD player for the first time, hoping that the newly remastered version would totally blow me away.
It didn't, but the music was still great regardless.
Having heard many of these remasters now, to my ear I really don't hear much difference from the 87 versions. I like the packaging, but I think I could have easily kept the old disc and been happy.
The music, naturally, is 5 stars. I subtract one star for Apple being too greedy to put both the mono and stereo version on the same disc (for any disc shorter than 40 mins, of course)

It is so hard to decide what is the best Lp of the Beatles, but this is one of them. I recieved it fast and in great shape.
