I wonder what LPs were remastered, all of the british ones? Could someone tell. Or are there some articles about on the net? Thanks in advance...

The two first UK albums were released on vinyl only in 2010 through the 1964-1969 vinyl box set.

I know, but the quality of the 2003 remasters is better than the boxed set, also the covers are in a better wuality, laminated, etc..
so, no standalone editions of the first two UK albums and no release of the UK best ofs (darkly, high tide)?

I disagree with this. I think that the 64-69 box sounds very, very good. It's close, but I like them a little better than the 2003 remasters. I don't have the later box (post 71), but I heard that it doesn't sound as good as the 64-69 box, but it's not bad.

I have the box and I like the sound as well. I think I'll play these and the original albums back to back to see if there is a difference better or worse, with the original issues.
Anyone done that before?

The 2003 vinyls and the 2010 box set are made from the same 2002 DSD remasters (by Bob Ludwig) - which are also available on SACD.
It's also worth noting that these vinyls are most likely made from high res digital masters.

The ABKCO box is worth having even if you have original UK pressings, because in some ways, some of the reissued discs are better than the originals—particularly Beggar’s Banquet at the correct speed, but also the early mono discs.
Many of these new LPs are notably more dynamic and have far deeper bass extension compared to the originals—and I think that’s on the tape, not in a twiddled EQ knob. I think the Decca engineers rolled off the bass and perhaps applied a bit of tube compression—particularly on the earlier mono albums, thinking the end user would be a kid with a cheap turntable.

I'll definitely enjoy doing a side-by-side in that case!

yes, they made from the same source but the pressing of the box isn´t that high quality than the remasters from 2003 imo. also the covers aren´t that good, simply said, they look cheaper than the 2003s.

The sound on the 2010 releases are warmer in sound than on the 2003 editions. There are less digital feel to them.

Some of the reviews for the first box are quite good actually, 'better' than the original pressing in terms of dynamic range if that is possible to believe.
Not so much for the second box (post 1970) but that's not what we're talking about.

Oh, I do agree with that. Not good at all.

Oh, you were talking about manufacturing quality. Sorry, I was focused on the sound. Yes, I agree that the box could have been better produced; GZVinyl where it was pressed can be a little inconsistent, and their vinyl sometimes has surfaces that are not that clean (requiring a quick clean before first play). But, at the price the box was originally sold for (I think I paid $250 for mine) that's not a bad price for 11 albums and 2 EP's. Of course, since the box is now sold out, sellers want $800 for it, so it really isn't an option any more.

I thought you were exaggerating so I looked around...it's true, I couldn't believe it. Now I look like a genius for buying two!
OK, so I don't look any smarter, I just got lucky.
