Note:

This new version continues the trend started with the AHDN/BFS remixes. It brings out the 'backbeat' more and makes the vocals a bit less prominent. Purists should stay away.

This fifth Beatles album -again- was a grandiose effort. Side 1 is pure pop perfection. Side 2 may be a bit less even, but it has one of the world's best known songs of the 21th century. Enjoy... once again.
