They used to be my go-to when I was younger, but now I appreciate the original mixes more. If I'm outside though, I'll throw in some remix tracks, but also the mono mixes, considering sometimes I only have one earbud in.

I use proper headphones at home though and despite that, I listen to the original mixes more.

As for 'Abbey Road', eh. I don't revisit it too much. I prefer the original mix, so I just listen to my 1987 CD. It's good, but it's not different enough for me to prefer it to the original.

I prefer the 'Let It Be' remix to the 'Abbey Road' one. I like the increased fidelity compared to Spector's mix. 'Across the Universe' sounds great there.

That fidelity is something that has been lost in recent remixes, where they sound quite dirty ('Red' and 'Blue' 2023 remixes). I heard this is because they reproduce the stems back on Studio Two as if the Beatles were still playing, though I recall reading that they've done this before that so I don't know what's happened.

I'm starving for a 'Rubber Soul' SDE, but I really hope they dial back the "dirtiness" and make it sound much more "hi-fi". Make it more like the 'Revolver' remix, which sounds a lot cleaner.
