5/5 The Real Thing
  by Starsailor (Geneva, Switzerland)
For once it wasn't just a commercial gimmick. This remastered edition is truly sensational for any Beatles fan. Well worth it even if you own an older CD version. The sound is so much tighter, it sounds so much more like a band playing together, not just like an addition of random instruments (although some people have disagreed, but they should listen to the original vinyl). The result is excellent even on my smaller CD system. If you liked the 2003 "Let it be...Naked" remaster, you are going to love this one. Let's just hope other past gems are gonna get the same treatment. The Stones' "Sticky Fingers" springs to mind.

1/5 Remastered - Awful sound
  by John Sparkman (Denver, CO)
Most definitely don't bother with the remastered version(S) they have vocals on one side of the room and the music on the other. Unless your stereo has the ability to combine both, do buy the mono, or origional stereo if available!!

5/5 Another GREAT Beatles CD!
  by BJ Mancke
I'm slowly buying all of the recently released remastered Beatles CD's from Amazon. Soon, I'll have them all. Help, and Abby Road were first on my list. Any Beatles fan should understand the way I feel about the way the Beatles changed music as we knew it back in the day. I was lucky enough to have an older sister who took me to see the Beatles in Germany in 1964. I was only 10 years old and had no idea that the group I was watching would have such a profound impact on Rock and Roll in the years to come. I will however remember that the first record albums I ever purchased (while still in Germany) were "Meet the Beatles" and "Help". I still have those thick, plastic Mono albums, and I'll never part with them. The clarity and perfection of these remastered CD's earn my highest rating!

5/5 Note for Mac users (warning: some geek speak)
  by JL (USA)
The included Mac application that plays the documentary video (and maybe does other things; I don't know) is a PPC application (not universal binary). So if you have an Intel mac, you'll be prompted to install Rosetta (code translator) if you haven't already. It's pretty easy. However, I don't want Rosetta on my machine and it seems like a pretty major oversight that the application included on this CD is not a universal binary. Macs have been running on intel processors for years now.

HOWEVER, if you browse the directory structure, you'll find Quicktime files. One is the documentary, the other the credits (which are almost as long!). I was able to open the quicktime file, and (under Snow Leopard/QuickTime X) I was able to 'share to iTunes' and then sync it to my iPod. The same can probably be done under Quicktime 7/Leopard if you have QuickTime Pro. So, it's a little trouble, but it is possible to get both the music and the documentary on an iPod. I don't know if there's other content in the application that I'm missing...but I'm happy to have gotten this far.

And...the remastering sounds incredible. It's subtle but completely breathtaking at the same time. If you like/love this album, the remastered version is a must-have.
