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.
Matrix numbers:
(A) 05 307 A-2 9.
(B) 05 307 B-2 7.
(C) 05308-A4 1
(D) 05308-B3 3
