I had feared that Remixing of this Iconic Album would somehow damage the magical, complex sound that the Beatles created in that summer of 1967. I have heard other remixes on legendary albums that, in fact, tinkered with something that should have been left as is. This Remix is an exception...Giles Martin is a genius. This mix gives the best of both the MONO and STEREO remasters issued over the years. - I have always favored the MONO mix on many of the tracks, as it had more Punch - and actually more detail Much of the STEREO was lacking this detail and sounded washed out.. On this new Remix Ringo's drumming is brought forward along with Paul's base lines. Just listen the The Drum intro on Sgt Pepper's reprise, Or Ringo's drum solo in A Little Help!! Wow! Vocals have bee moved to the middle - everything has more depth....Having said that - you may want to back off the volume as this is loud...I do believe that the Guitars in The Opening track are slightly "Bright"...However this is a minor issue...Overall I am still in awe...Fab, Fab, Fab!!!!Read full review

Not much much to be said about how much better this cd sounds than the 2009 remaster, because they sound about the same to me, excellent. But, I can hear some items of the recording more than I could before and some a little less. I guess due to the remixing, again, certain tracks stand out more and some less. This is coming from a Beatle fan that never heard a stereo version until 1974! Mono was king and that is all I had. Needless to say, it was like listening to a Brand New Album! If you are not a Beatle fan, whether from 1964 until now, their music transcends time. Sgt. Pepper's is not my favorite Beatle album, but the listening experience in 1967, even on mono, was what music quality had to become for all bands or fade away. Listen in a very dark room, with no distractions, on a clean, loud system and you will see what it was all about in the Summer of 1967. Many of us wish we could still be there! PS....Giles Martin DID NOT leave the alarm clock ring out of 'A Day In The Life' as as earlier reviewer said.Read full review

The 2 CD version, with the included booklet, is worth the price for the booklet alone. I've owned this material in both mono and stereo on both the original vinyl albums as well as the boxed set CD mono version sporting the original Parlophone labels. And most, if not all, of the supplemental material outtakes on Disc 2 have also been been available for years on bootleg vinyl and bootleg CDs. But, again, the included booklet in the Deluxe 2-CD version is what prompted me to buy Sgt. Pepper again.

I never knew it but Sgt. Pepper wasn't pure stereo. I bought the album like everybody else, but never realized it was mono. Over the years, its been replaced, but always mono. Now, it's stereo. It also has a very clear sound. There are other albums, I would like them to redo as well. I would love to hear the Medly like that.
