Certainly some of us have taken the plunge...(not me, not yet)?

I believe the Beatles management is now in the "milking mode" of material previously unreleased by the fab four. The one thing that becomes clear as I listen to raw takes is the magic that George Martin brought to the finished product. Don't misunderstand, the Beatles were genius, but without George Martin their legacy might not have been as memorable. "Hey Bulldog" and "It's All Too Much" are favorites of mine too.
Just one last comment. Not all "original albums" are the same. I recall that, as a teen (in the 1960's), I always bought the UK versions of Beatle records as they simply sounded more natural, without the pumped up bass and exaggerated treble of the US versions. I haven't done any A/B comparisons, but I suspect that current technology has allowed record manufacturers to enhance the qualities the early UK versions and extend the frequency and dynamic range, giving them a clear open sound.
Consensus seems to be positive. I'll look for a copy. How is the CD being marketed? Is it part of a box set, or a standalone? 
I bought a standalone copy (not a box set) and I concur that it does sound different, in a good way. I listened in the car and I had to turn down the rear subwoofer to keep the doors from rattling (seriously). Nice job on the remix! For anyone on the fence, it really is worth the money.
