I enjoyed the Sgt Pepper one, especially following their creative process. Great insight.
Not everything has to be perfect. Let us embrace ambition and failure!
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
The White Album isn't my favourite - there's too much pretty average material on it, and at least a couple of real stinkers (in my opinion) - but it does still contain one of my favourite Beatles songs, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, as well as a few others I like.
The Sgt. Pepper remaster was so good that it actually made me appreciate the album much more, even the couple of songs I hadn't really liked before, so maybe a really good remaster of this will do the same... these guys really do know what they're doing, and clearly understand what they're trying to achieve.

These songs are so well known that we probably don’t really, actively, listen to them anymore. Our brains know what’s coming because we’ve heard them so many times through our lives.
But a decent remaster introduces some different elements. We listen to them properly again, and appreciate them properly all over again.
Hang on I'm going to sneeze...ah...ah...ah...torrent
...excuse me.
If you like the Beatles and you haven’t heard it, you really should - it’s eye (or ear ) opening. I’ve never heard another remix that good before. The second disc of alternate takes and the two songs that weren’t on the original album is well worth it too, especially the two different speed versions of Strawberry Fields.
I’m just hoping the White Album one is as good.
(Edit - RandallFlagg is correct, technically it is a remix... just one that doesn’t sound like it!)

I should maybe given those two a listen and see...

You are wrong @ICBM The 50th Anniversary edition is a Giles Martin remix, as is the upcoming White Album release:
On 26 May 2017, the album was reissued for the album's 50th anniversary in four different formats: a single CD, a double CD set, a double vinyl set and a six-disc super deluxe edition. The first CD contains a new stereo remix of the album produced by Giles Martin. Created using modern and vintage technology, the 2017 mix retains more of the idiosyncrasies that were unique to the original mono version of Sgt. Pepper's. Unlike the original album, first-generation tapes were used rather than their subsequent mixdowns, resulting in a clearer and more spacious sound.[330] The other discs contain alternative mixes and previously unreleased session tapes. The six-disc box set includes four CDs as well as a documentary and 5.1 surround sound mixes of the album in both DVD and Blu-ray form.[331] The 50th anniversary edition topped the UK albums chart after its release
I do know that a huge amount of effort was taken to make sure it was like that, it was certainly far different from any remixing (or even remastering) project I've heard of before. Anyhow, whether it's a remaster or a remix, if you love the Beatles then have a listen to it - it really made me like the album better, even including Getting Better and Lovely Rita, the two tracks I never really liked before.
