Free Music Notes for Abbey Road (Reis)
Free Music Review: Be above the remastered fray with this Japanese import
Hit: 5 Stars
Abbey Road [import Japan]-2000.
There has been a whirlwind of activity with the new remastered releases of The Beatles and my review will only add to it.
There are only a few albums that I would consider buying the more expensive Japanese reissues and this album is one of them.
I bought it on amazon's site from a third party for $18.90 USD Used including S/H and just got finished reviewing it in iTunes.
Just to let you know I always import the songs into iTunes at 320kbps with VBR set to the highest quality.
With the price of hard drives these days being so low there isn't a reason to not import them at the highest MP3 quality.
I'm now listening to the CD on my stereo system and there is no sighs of 'brightness' or 'loudness' that some have complained about on the new 2009 reissues.
Check out 'Loudness war' at wikipedia. It will describe in more detail what some customers were complaining about on amazon about the quality of the new ones.
I'm ambivalent about remastering with the loudness cranked up because there is always a silver lining around a cloud.
What I mean is you can hear all the quieter passages while enjoying the beautiful 'notes' coming out your cars tailpipe. LOL.
I have bought other Japanese imports of my special albums that meant alot to me and they ALWAYS sounded great.
It must be their manufacturing and equipment that makes the difference.
My advise: Mentally go over your collection of music that was the 'soundtrack of your life' and decide for yourself if you want the BEST sounding CDs available, then get the Japanese reissues and you will have no 'buyers regret'.

Abbey Road (Reis) Poster
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.

The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all four contribute to the first side's writing, John Lennon's hard-rocking, "Come Together" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" make the strongest impression. A series of song fragments edited together in suite form dominates side two; its portentous, touching, official close ("Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight"/"The End") is nicely undercut, in typical Beatles fashion, by Paul McCartney's cheeky "Her Majesty," which follows. --Rickey Wright
