Beat, Beatnik, Beatles

I've just about as much interest in that as I have in fake stereo versions of the early stuff.

But maybe I'll re-purchase some of the later albums ... again, if I discern a noticeable improvement in sound quality.

I have to point out that if the stuff sounds improved too much, it won't sound like "60's."

I noticed, for instance, when making those Disneyland CD's, that the high quality remasters often lost the distinct 60's sound of lower quality recordings. I ended up using a mix of both types of sources, because I really enjoy period music to sound like the period it's from. (And yeah, I also like music to sound as good as it can .... it'll be interesting to see where I come down on the Beatles ... but, as a hint, I often found the "Love" remasters sounding too modern, and not quite right).
