That's one way to look at it, but the remastered CD's sound yet
different than the various vinyl issues, as well. Is it worth buying
another copy of an album you've already bought before? I guess
everyone has to answer that for themselves, but if you'd like to hear
the new versions without having to make a repeat purchase, they're
all torrenting over on Pirate Bay.

Well... I have the American LP of With the Beatles, but it has no top
or bottom end because the folks at Columbia filtered the hell out of
it. Then I have the CD reissue which sounds a little wierd because
the two channels are a little out of phase; they played back a
full-track mono tape on a half-track stereo machine, didn't have the
azimuth quite right, and didn't sum the two channels to mono.

So after these first two goofs, I am worried about buying a THIRD
issue that might also be screwed up.

I should just have bought the Parlophone LP in the first place.

But then you would remain dynamics, presence, and
frequency-extremes-challenged.
