I ask this question because I am finding more an more suggestions that the Japanese versions of the re-mastered CD could be even better in quality than the ones which are available in either Europe or The USA.....
I have a couple of the original versions of The Beatles CDs from Japan and these knock spots of the standard CD issues of Europe Or the US.................The sound is richer and more fully blown.........the stereo image seems bigger and more defined and of course the documentation is more extensive.
At one point I believed that all the re-masters were copied from the one source but, it seems that Toshiba EMI Issues were processed further in Japan.
So does any one have any ? and if so what are they like ?

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
