I love all the extras too - Esher demos in decent sound quality etc. A real treat.

Yes...true...John's scat like vocalizations and all the rest....  What is apparent to me with these high rate remasters, this and Pepper, is how I had undervalued the two other Beatles....Ringo is just a wonderfully colourful drummer and George's work is far more nuanced than I had given it.  
Now, if they would only hurry up and get to Abbey Road...the best Beatles album, IMHO.

It’s an absolute aural treat and is the best remastering of Beaties works so far. The detail and layering of the instrumentation and vocals is also exceptional. Haven’t got further than the original album itself so far. Not sure am too keen on early takes myself. To this day I find Clapton’s contribution on While My Guitar Gently Weeps spine tingling perfection and the fact that it was recorded in one evening astounds me.

Bravo,

You said it better than I...it was "My Guitar Gently Weeps" that was the spur for my comment about the "other two".  Just a great bit of music.

Brilliant album with some absolute classic tunes but I wonder what would be made of the lyrics of Stray Cat Blues nowadays.
