^^ I think Love is a fantastic record, and a sympathetic re-imagination produced as you've outlined.
The remarkable thing - as you say - is that the quality of the original master tapes is outstanding, and some of them are nearer 50 years old than 40 !!
IMHO they were outreaching the capacity of the then-current recording technology toward the end of their run. Some of the late albums are so heavily bounced down and overdubbed that they don't have the quality of, say, Rubber Soul :nerd:
