Well, it was 50 years ago today.....


Being only 5 when SP was released,it isn't one of those events one can recall from their childhood. I'm certain my older brother who went out and bought a copy has one.

I do however, remember the album in heavy rotation for years along with the rest of the Fab4 catalog. 3-4 records stacked on the Grundig tube console!

While not a super fan, the Beatles are in my desert Island collection. I just have clean period Capitols and a couple of the mono RI's. I DO NOT have the mono SP. 

Does anyone have the new anniversary stereo copy? I'm undecided which to get. Mono or this new copy. It does seem like a fun listen with all the extra stuff.

Are you liking the new copy over any version you may have?

I do like the mono RI copies I have, but equally enjoy the odd stereo generic Capitols.

One of my rare moments I buy a "new" record.

tablejockey, there's a short thread in the Music section here already with a few comments from folks who have the new stereo mix.  Also, you can go on Amazon and listen to 30-second samples of each tune (including the tunes on the other discs with alternate takes and chat).  Not the highest quality, I'm sure, but enough to get an idea of the mix and how it compares to previous versions.
