On the left is the Capitol US first pressing of this classic. On the right is the 50th Anniversary edition which is a double LP set.
The 50th Anniversary Edition is such an enjoyable listen that I don't really need to play the old record anymore. The first side contains the new mixes by producer George Martin back in 2006 while the second disc contains the new mixes of these songs by Martin's son, Giles. And they are simply wonderful.
You'd think that with the Beatles, you'd get tired of the old songs but really, the new mixes inject a lot of life into the old songs. It's not raising the level of the bass, but the way it was remixed using the old analogue tapes. While making Paul McCartney's bass and Ringo Starr's drumming shine. There's a sunshine to these old songs.
Giles Martin explains the work that has been done on all the songs in the liner notes.
And yes, it's getting better all the time.
