Note:

This new version continues the trend started with the AHDN/BFS/HLP! remixes. It aims to bring a more balanced presentation with coherent stereo image. Purists should stay away.

The sixth Beatles album might just be my personal favorite. It is a bridge between the euphoria of the first period and the sophistication of the latter era. A masterpiece.
