50th Anniversary Remaster of a Classic Album

This music has been around for a long time, as most folks reading this review know, and it's super-engaging. The CD history is: original US release in 1987, remastered in 2009, then remastered again by Giles Martin in 2019. This is my least-favorite of The Beatles' albums that Giles has remastered. He did succeed in bringing the vocal harmonies more forward, which I love, and also the guitars especially when George, Sir Paul, and John are all playing. However, I don't think this a bug step-change improvement from the 2009 remaster. Giles' recent remasters of Sgt. Peppers and The White Album had more impact, IMO, especially Sgt. Peppers which is fantastic. BTW, I just bought the original album remaster, not the Deluxe version with all the out-takes and stuff.
