Fans are now receiving their copies of the spiffed-up version of The Beatles Hollywood Bowl album. (Also available on streaming services as Spotify). And the Radio Dupree staff can ensure that the sound quality is indeed better compared to the original release. Still lotsa screaming from the audience though.
