Have you/anyone heard these remasters? While they sound quite good, I
can't help thinking something odd's going on. Certain instruments seem
to have been brought forward in the mix.

So far I've only heard the 'new' Please Please Me CD. The obvious
difference between it and the earlier CD is that the 'new' one is in the
same kind of 'stereo' as the original 'stereo' LP. Not done any serious
comparisons (as yet) because I'm busy with something else on that front,
but just enjoyed the music. At present I plan to get the first four in the
series as the initial CDs were mono. May then get the others if there seems
any reason to do so.

FWIW The 'video' seems to be in quicktime format, but FFMPEG gave me a
more convenient version in MPEG format. :-) That said, if you have seen
the recent programme on BBC4 then I guess you have seen what is in the
video on the CD. Can't say that 'bonus' seemed to me to be a reason to buy
new copies of the CDs if you already have decent CD and/or LP versions.

Slainte,

Jim
