In this video search for the best sounding version of The Beatles best sounding album. We look in detail at the reasons why it sounds so good by examining EMI's revolutionary transistorized TG12345 mixing desk and the man who cut it. We then test seven of the best editions to see which one comes out on top and why. We even give you tips on how to correctly play Japanese CDs with 'pre-emphasis' applied and how to identify counterfeits. That's a lot of information in 19 minutes, so do feel free to watch this one more than once ;)
