Beatles - "Hey Jude" - Mono Original vs. Stereo Remaster

I decided to compare the mono original of "Hey Jude" with the new stereo remaster. I'll let you decide for yourself which is superior, but I think you'll be surprised at what you hear.

The music heard in this video is for noncommercial use and only very brief excerpts are used; therefore it falls under the "Fair Use" exemptions as described by the Copyright Act of 1976.

Please feel free to leave comments ... as long as they are relevant to the Beatles sound test, I will leave them up. Any spam or irrelevant comments will be deleted.

Forward this to your friends and Beatles fans!

@seanswind HA, but there IS a difference! Listen to the piano part after "shoulder..... Na na na na na, na na na na". On the stereo version, the piano at this point (4 notes) is LOWER in volume compared to the rest, and I think this sounds weird. It's not like that in the mono version.

I literally stopped to check if my audio was work-WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

[dummytree]

I wonder if the stereo remaster used the exact same take? Slight difference on Paul's vocal, but it could be the mix that make it sound a bit different. I dunno.

Never playing something on full volume headphones ever again....

whats wrong with the stereo remaster?why people hatin on it?

[seanswind]

Actually... the Hey Jude mono mix for the single was just a fold-down of the stereo mix we know today-- so there is NO DIFFERENCE in what you hear - unlike Sgt Pepper, etc. where different sounds and levels were used.
