Sonics? All Things Must Pass -50th Anniversary

I haven’t spent much time with this release yet. I listened to it in the car on a 300 mile drive today for work. Then, and I mean right now, I’m streaming it (over pretty good gear) and I must say, I was expecting the clarity heard on the Harrison’s "Early Takes". Yet the production is on the darker side of things--in my ear.

Early Takes, sounds to my ear, like an open window into what Harrison sounded like in the studio at that time. It’s spectacular in its efficiency and cleanliness. My first impressions of the 50th ATMP is that it is clearer than the original and the Spector treatment is no longer a dominant feature. The sonics of things do not improve though. And I think they should and, more importantly, they could.

Has anyone heard Early Takes? Have you heard the new 50th Anniversary All Things Must Pass? Thoughts?

yes, it does tablejockey!

I was hoping for a bit more on the sound side.  It seems others agree.  That demo record Dahni released sounds spooky real and good, showcasing Harrison like I haven't really heard--if in his Beatles years he was usually buried back in the mix a bit.
