I've got this. I was thinking of sharing it at the group, and then decided to not bother.
The remastering is great. I Am the Walrus sounds like godhead. On the whole, it's brilliant, but I do, naturally, have a few nit-picks with it. Maybe I'll do a track-by-track breakdown in a future post.
I suppose George Martin & company had to do this before people starting making their own versions anyway...also for the Cirque de Soleil show of the same name, of course.
A random note of ultimate importance:
The only architect of sound that is in the same league as George Martin is Rudy Van Gelder. Martin and Van Gelder both display complete mastery of the recording process. Some people might make a somewhat legitimate argument for Phil Spector or Wilson/Van Dyke Parks.
Other than that, there are no other names in that uppermost tier.
If you think there are, then you are wrong.
