For those who grew up listening to the "The Beatles" which is the true title of the White Album this sounds different and not always in a good way. For example Giles fixes the snare drum part which accidentally turned off the double tracking on the snare at the second half of he song. This didn't need fixing as it was one of the famous fortunate mistakes that The Beatles sometimes made in the studio., Yes, it's true that some may consider the remix sonically superior to the original. I prefer the original classic version. Thank You.

Unlike other vinyl re-masters/re-issues (various albums) that I’ve collected and enjoyed, this one is very inconsistent with the original overall, with each track being tweaked up in a different way (over emphasizing bass, de emphasizing vocal, etc.) so as to be very unpleasant. The first disc has only two tracks on the second side that are fairly pleasing. The second disc is a bit better overall, but not great. I think somebody tried too hard to make this re-issue different for difference sake. I’ll stick to my CD until I can find a pristine copy of the original. No, I don’t recommend it.

While the producer (and son of George Martin) Giles Martin says he remixed this album to appeal to newer ears, this boomer finds the reissue a breath of fresh air. Discerning ears can detect he slight differences between the original and the new. In reducing he original's compression and sweetening some new takes, Martin has created something new from the familiar. The album is a delight, and at 180-grams, the LPs are as substantial as the music imprinted upon it. Also, including reprints of the original artwork just adds to the fun!

Although I'm not wild about every song on The Beatles White Album, it does contain some real gems. One that not many people are aware of is Long, Long, Long. If you aren't familiar with it, then you should definitely listen to it... listen closely... over and over... drink it in. It may become one of your favorite Beatles songs, like it did for me.
