    These are infamous for having their sound neutered by overuse of noise reduction, and should be avoided like the plague. Luckily the Paul McCartney Archive Collection is the complete opposite.

    EDIT: Ways in which the Archive Collection is superior:
    - An abundance of bonus tracks which are all period-correct to each album
    - Superior tape transfers with minimal compression and (thank god) no noise reduction! (Flaming Pie in particular no longer has clipping and is actually quieter than the original CD)
    - Faithfully recreated artwork with no minimising of the cover to needlessly accommodate the series design template
    - Mono version of Ram on CD for the first time
    - Red Rose Speedway available for the first time with its originally-intended double album tracklist
