The Beatles were ALL I listened to when I was in middle school.

The first Anthology album came out in 1995 when I was ten years old, and from then on, I couldn’t get my hands on more Beatles fast enough.

Whether it was a song, a movie, or a musical analysis by an Icelandic biographer, if it had “The Beatles” on it, I wanted it.

So when I listened to the remixed “1962–66” and “1967–70” Beatles albums, they blew my mind.

In case you didn’t know, these “remixed” albums were done with “voodoo*” separation technology that allowed them to create better separation between instruments, even those that had been bounced down together to a single track.

Being able to hear the separation between the instruments in such detail was amazing to hear, and there were parts in certain songs I had never heard before.

Funnily enough, the new technology doesn’t just enhance the tracks, but it also brings out any mistakes they made in their performances.
