The Beatles - 1962-1966 (Reissue)

 

 

Originally released 1973 I bought the 1977 reissue release. Got it cheap, why not? I wish I hadn't.

 

On the whole compilation album some compressions on most songs are going on. See pictures below (Side B, track 1 for example). I don't own an original press for this one but I think they sound far more better than this one. My dynamic range measurement (DR) states a "9". This is below moderate.
