Elizabeth ★★★★★

The 180g vinyl sounds fantastic — the session outtakes and alternate mixes on here feel like you're sitting in the studio in 1966. Dead quiet pressing too, no surface noise at all.

Eli ★★★★★

The alternate takes on here are a revelation — you can actually hear the session musicians shifting around between takes. Pressed on quiet 180g, my copy had zero surface noise and the vocals just float. Worth it for "Wouldn't It Be Nice" alone.

Eli ★★★★☆

Grabbed this mainly for the stripped-down session takes, and hearing the backing tracks on their own is genuinely fascinating. Only gripe is that it's highlights rather than the full box set material, so a few favorites didn't make the cut. The 180g pressing itself plays clean and quiet.
