Note:
This new version continues the trend started with the AHDN remix. It brings out the 'backbeat' more and makes the vocals a bit less prominent. Purists should stay away.
This fourth Beatles album has some of their strongest material, though is arguably also marred somewhat by the R&R covers. Yes, the Beatles were a great group, even when they played other people's music. But much of the original material here is simply to die for. Then again, the insane work schedule and pressures these guys were subjected to would probably be enough to put any other group of individuals into a mental hospital in no-time. They truly were and will always be the super heroes of RnR.
