This is what I liked about the Beatles remasters--At last I could hear the bass the way I always thought it was meant to be. I read somewhere that the original early albums were mastered using huge dual 15 monitors with bass aplenty. In the studio, the boys thought the recordings were bass heavy and cut back on it quite a bit. Soon enough, however, they were shocked to hear the sound that came out of what most folks actually listened to. On the other hand, those early mono releases sounded just fine on most big old-style juke boxes. I liked the ones with the bubbles.
