On other audiophile forums you'll similarly find geek audiophiles also in complete disagreement as to the merits of these remasters when compared to the 1st presses.

I'd be interested in links to these forums please, so I can join and read the comments myself.
Thanks.

There are plenty to choose from, but this one I frequent the most. But be warned, there are some pretty intense individuals on this site! ...However once you sift through the wankery, you can learn a lot. Geeks are a great resource in small doses. I've been introduced to some great music thanks to some brilliant posters.

The 1994 EMI remasters are still definitive.  A lot of work was put into these and brian and roger were heavily involved as well.  They sound much more dynamic than the new remasters.  The new ones may sound a bit brighter but they have lost a whole lot of involvement.

Well that's interesting because I've so far never heard a good word about them!
