I listened to Revolver and copared it to my original US and MFSL. The reissue was nice and quite, and had great dynamics. The insruments were better focused, but it seemed the bass response was far lower than my original on Taxman. On my original and MFSL, Taxman has great bass response-Paul's bass pumping. But the reissue its nearly gone. Other than that, I liked the reissue better in nearly everyway.
Compare the new Beatles vinyl to early pressings
My stark opinion is the new vinyl is balanced and has the timber of each musical voice polished painstakingly, but the life is sucked out. The old vinyl has way more emotional and meaningful content. When I listen side by side I "get it" regarding the artist's intent way better on the old versions.
The new vinyl was cut using the original 24-bit remasters. I guess now that it's so easy to compare I'm all for keeping the process analog.
