asterisk8, did you have anything to do with the Glyn Johns "Get Back" remaster? It's very well done, I never play the Vigotone version anymore!
Nope, that was all RMW. He's a professional audio engineer, really knows his stuff.

Hi RedFive! When you say you have the 'complete discography' does that include the 'mono' albums? If not, I would absolutely recommend the mono "pepper' and "white album". I would also recommend "The John Barrett tapes" as 'core', and I know you said you don't want anything 'repetitive' but "It's not too bad" is one of my all time favorites (it's pretty much the complete evolution of Strawberry Fields Forever from the Santa Isabel demos, to home demos to multiple takes at Abbey Road. It's arguably the most enlightening Beatles disc I have ever heard)
Great recommendations, but I would say you're better off collecting the new "Studio Sessions: Back To Basics" set: double-discs for each official UK album that collect all studio outtakes and alternate mixes, restored in a similar manner to this set. The Barrett tapes are hit-or-miss for quality depending on which boot label you go with, and It's Not Too Bad lacks phase and pitch correction, both which greatly improve listenability.
