Named the Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone Magazine, Sgt Pepper celebrates its 50th Anniversary this year with a new mix. To create Sgt. Pepper's new stereo mix, producer Giles Martin oversaw an expert team at Abbey Road Studios in London, sourced directly from the four-track masters produced by his father, George Martin. Upon its release in 1967, the album held the number one spot for 15 weeks and won a Grammy Award for Album of The Year. Review: Sgt Peppers was the first Beatles excursion into psychedelic music - I remember getting this album in vinyl format for Christmas at least 45 years ago. It's as good now as it was then. I was a Beatles fan from a young age. Review: Figured out why I love it - I finally figured out why I like the remix, has to do with the 'pictures in my head' I get when listening to music. (no, really) The mono version had me sitting in an auditorium being blasted by a glorious monolithic wall of sound. Perhaps a little dated, quaint, but still pretty damn good. The remix has me standing IN the studio, with the guys sitting around me, singing and playing their individual parts. Clean, sharp sound quality of sound, in-your-face presence, especially the drums, as many have remarked. And the stereo separation adds to the visuals. Macca's bass is ridiculously busy (in a good way) and well defined, especially on the Mr Kite track. I almost visualize him sitting in front of his Vox amp churning away. (Yeah I know he recorded his parts directly to the console on Pepper. But my image is cooler) Somehow, Niles managed to get an 8-track Abbey Road 'contemporary' sonic recording experience out of multilayered 4 track tapes. And it is SO different from the original. oldFartBassPlayer Walt

Figured out why I love it
I finally figured out why I like the remix, has to do with the 'pictures in my head' I get when listening to music.

This is by far the best version of this Beatles' hit classic
The sound quality has been digitally enhanced and the new remix brings out a much richer, bigger sound with unbelievable clarity of the voices and instruments. I already had two previous versions of Sgt Pepper in my music library but this 50th Anniversary Edition was worth every penny! With headphones on, it's like being right there in the studio with The Beatles.

A different take on a classic
I first heard this album on a neighbor's big console stereo when it came out in 67 when I was 7. It was and is amazing music and I'll never forget how it impacted me. Now, I'm comparing this 2017 remix CD with a 1987 CD. Yes, it's louder and yes there is more booming bass but... With the new mix, you can hear more into the songs - it seems like the voices and instruments are better separated in the mix. I always thought my old CD was kind of shrill and couldn't crank it up without fatigue where this one is smoother and cranks fatigue free. I'm not sure which better represents what the original intent was but I love this new one. I won't get rid of either CD.

Maravillosamente estilizado con canciones y sonidos sutiles pero distintivos. “A day in the life”, entre las mejores.

Wir müssen uns hier nicht über die künstlerische und stilbildende Qualität des Albums unterhalten; diese dürfte unbestritten sein. Die Frage ist, ob es dieses Remasterings bedurfte, dh. ob die Anpassung der vor 50 Jahren erschienenen klanglichen Ursprungsfassung zulässig und notwendig war oder ein Sakrileg darstellt, wie wohl einige Kritiker meinen. Und wie das Endergebnis wohl geworden ist? Zunächst ist zu sagen, daß die Takes des 2017er Remasterings keineswegs fremd wirken, nein, sie klingen nur sehr viel frischer, klanglich außerordentlich präzise; gute Stereo-Anlagen freuen sich über die technisch exzellente Arbeit des Teams um Giles Martin. Das alles konnte weder die Ursprungs-LP (und ich rede jetzt nicht von fetenerprobten Exemplaren) noch das spätere CD-Remastering in den Nuller-Jahren. Hier präsentierte sich ein ziemlich unsäglicher Klangbrei, wie er aufgrund der Entstehungszeit der Aufnahme üblich war durch eingeschränkte Frequenzbänder, Dynamik und technisches "Tot"mischen der aufgenommenen Tracks. Dabei war die Ursprungsfassung von Sgt. Pepper noch klanglich einigermaßen erträglich. Anderes, was damals erschien, klang wesentlich schlimmer. Ich meine, eine klangliche Verbesserung iS einer Präzisierung, Akzentuierung, Vervollständigung von Klangfrequenzen und Dynamik, einer Entzerrung und Entrauschung, vorgenommen mit viel Fingerspitzengefühl für den Charakter des ursprünglichen Klanggeschehens ist nicht nur erwünscht, weil man plötzlich hört, wieviel musikalisch in der Aufnahme drinsteckt, sondern m.E. sogar eine Pflicht, denn welcher Musiker hätte nicht zu seiner Zeit die bessere Technik genutzt, wenn er sie gehabt hätte. Wer's trotzdem nicht mag, dem sei unbenommen, seine Altfassungen zu hören. Ich jedenfalls bin glücklich, daß z.B. der Ursprungstoningenieur Rudy van Gelder sich in hohem Alter seiner Jazzaufnahmen aus den 50er und 60er Jahren angenommen und sie mit der aktuellen Technik verbessert hat. Das Gleiche gilt natürlich auch für ein sensibles Remastering wertvoller Pop-, Rock- und Klassikaufnahmen und eben auch der 2017er Version von Sgt. Pepper. Die Hi-Fi-Zeitschrift AUDIO hält das 2017er Remastering von Sgt. Pepper übrigens technisch für so gut gelungen, daß damit hochwertige Musikbausteine klanglich getestet werden. Recht haben sie bei Audio! Souveräne Musik trifft auf souveräne Technik. Also 5 Sterne!
