Picked this LP up this week no and it is awesome! Best sounding version of Sgt Peppers I have heard including the 2014 mono.

Downside is you can hear relly well how dated the recording technology was, but it doesn't matter, because it's music history. It changed everything. And they did it with equipment that actually cutting-edge even for the time.

Eerie discovery of the remaster: At the end of 'Day in the Life', when the closing chord finally fades out, you can hear what sounds like someone getting out of a slightly squeaky chair, walking across the room, and going out a door. Wow.

Giles Martin added some volume compression which bothered me at first, but I got used to it and think it sounds fine. It isn't "squashed" with flat waveforms.
To me he did exactly what the intended: to give the feeling/sound of the original mono in a proper stereo setting. I think the 67 Beatles would have been very happy with it.
To me it is the go to version to listen to.
You can hear more detail, and hear everything that was done better than before - it only improves the experience.
