Interesting radio interview on Production. In Abbey Road section towards

Not just converter technology, though. Actually using tape machines with
the correct head configuration and alignment made a big difference on those
too.

People forget how badly bungled the '87 transfers really were. And information
lost in the transfer process, either due to converter issues or playback
issues, is information lost that isn't going to magically get created again
later in the chain.

Yes sad to think how little care was put into the original CD issues
considering how long Beatles fans had already waited for them, and how
many were likely to be sold, and were.
