Studio?
It's the change in quality I appreciate the most.
The re-mastering lets you (well me - I can only speak for myself) hear some of
the original instrumentation in a new way.
I'm no audiophile - most of whom I regard as self deluded tossers - but I found
myself setting aside the space and time to really listen to this album with
correct speaker placement and room treatment.
It was the best 70 odd minutes I'd spent in that room for years.
Cheers,
Simon
PS - and John really does sound superb in Helter Skelter.

A rather mixed bag. As a former audio engineer, I've always found it
interesting and quite fun to listen to the individual instruments or voices of
a multi-track recording. That's basically what the a capella version of
"Because" is all about. If I'll retain something from this album, then what
brilliant vocalists they were. Becomes even more obvious here than in some of
the original versions.
Then again, to someone who has grown up with French pop music, those funny "a
gogo" transitions between titles sound too much like Laurent Voulzy, a French
pop singer who came to fame by doing "medleys" of famous pop and rock songs
("Rockollection") with quite similar transitions, in the 70s.
An entertaining curiosity but nothing that will really make it into music
history. I enjoyed it but it I'll always prefer the original versions.
