From a quick comparision of some tracks on the new CD's with those on the old 'Red' album (Singles 1962-1966) CD, the tracks on the new CD certainly have a better bass.
I was a bit concerned when the new 'Please Please me' CD suddenly crashes into mono for 'Love me do' and the following track, and then back to stereo again... but the last page of the booklet reveal that this is intentional - the two-track recording of these two tracks had been discarded before the original stereo LP was produced, so 'fake' stereo versions of these tracks were on the original LP. Shame, I thought I might have a valuable copy!
