Wow--super!

 

On George Harrison--absolutely!  And I share your odd love of I'd Have You Anytime (can't figure out why...)  I recommend Concert for Bangladesh, Get Back (the documentary), and Let It Be (the new 5 or 6 disc version).  The documentary in particular will make you shake your head--a genius repeatedly dissed by greater geniuses...

Get George's "Early Takes". Demo versions of songs or early arrangements. Some just George and a guitar. It shows off that he really was  good singer, in spite of his admittedly limited voice. Great initimate music.

Wow, thanks so much for all the information! Invaluable. 

ATMP:

There was a 2010 24/96 version released - quite nice sounding, IMO. AFAIR, this was done by the Abbey Road people.

In 2014 the Harrison family released a new 24/96 version which they supervised as part of a George box set. Not as good, IMHO. 

Unfortunately, when the 2014 version came out, the 2010 version was taken off the market. 

The 2010 version has a DR of 12, the 2014 version has a DR of 9.

If you want the "original" in hi-res mastering, the 2010 version is the one to get, if you can somehow find it. 

 

Personally, I prefer the GM 50th version. You can simply hear George and the various  elements more clearly than all the other versions.
