For those who don't know, please check out the Ascher Demos, which come with the super deluxe version.

The Esher Demos are excellent sounding to my ears and bests the various bootleg material in circulation. Equally noted, are the tracks, "Yer Blues" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". These (2) variations are the best on CD to date. All comparisons were made against my U.K. breadbox CD set from the late 80's which is no slouch (flat transfer for its time). Happy Listening!

Seems to sound similar in tone, but a bit less compressed than Giles’ previous effort with Sgt Pepper 2017. I’d say it sounds slightly like a cartoon version of original vinyl, but certainly not unpleasant, far from it. It's also great to see the tapes holding up so well after 50+ years.
