i certainly hope so. i spent way too much, don't know what i was thinking. the beatles discs are said to be taken from the same source as the ones made for the american market. the only beatles obi worth getting is that abbey road black triangle, but i just need to hear if those other ones are any better than my american pressings. supposedly, the original obi All Things Must Pass is the holy grail so i believe this reissue is near identical. i just bought the hendrix on a whim since i've never seen it before.
