Don't know why there's two links there but the second one seems to work
― nate woolls, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 22:08 (five years ago) link
listening to that revolution take now. I loved Take 20 so I hope this measures up. Shame if they didn't put 20 on here, or something closely approximating it.
― akm, Wednesday, 31 October 2018 22:41 (five years ago) link
ok this seems close and it doesn't have that loud annoying fucking noise in it that 20 had i liked the effects on 20 that really married this to #9.

that "glass onion" video is great and the remix sounds really good

Yellow Submarine Songtrack and the two BBC sets are up on Spotify now.

apple music too though weirdly the spoken tracks aren't for some reason. not a huge loss but I'm kind of used to them ('dear whack!')

Brilliant video. Made by 'Trunk animation' whoever they may be.
I still don't think much to these new remixes; they turned the bass up too high again on this one.
― piscesx, Saturday, 3 November 2018 00:32 (five years ago) link
Bass was pretty loud on the original stereo, I think.
― timellison, Saturday, 3 November 2018 03:28 (five years ago) link
Yeah, I think the bass guitar is more prominent on the original mix.
I like this one; it's got a lot more space than the original mix. They centered the drums (with a snare overdub still in the right channel), the strings are more lush, and the electric guitar part seems more prominent...or, at least, I noticed things about it that I'd never noticed before. Weirdly, the string outro is mono. Maybe that was unavoidable.

Cool video

Just listened to "Glass Onion" on the good headphones... this one was pretty cool! Kinda surprised they took out the background "yeeeaAAAHHH!" wail at 1:12, but it works.

Giles Martin plays an outtake of Julia at 18:24 with John trying out a different approach of the song with George Martin. It's really lovely.

I'm only at Rocky Racoon but so far I think that these are really marginal gains.

Yeah the whole thing is on Spotify !
― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 9 November 2018 07:06 (five years ago) link
First listen thoughts:Outside the tracks already premiered, the most revelations come towards the end. Long Long Long was always going to be radical and though you can't really argue with giving it more typical levels it's one that I'll always notice most and think "well this isn't the original album)Cry Baby Cry has another one where the crisp bouncy bassline stands outWtf @ this George Martin chat at the start of Revolution No 9? Was that even there at all before? Elsewhere there's a low-frequency John incantation around Yoko's 'you become naked' bit that I'm into.Goodnight sounds absolutely GORGEOUS.
― Alba, Friday, 9 November 2018 09:09 (five years ago) link
Same here. So far I don't hear much difference and don't really see the point of this remix (especially compared to the Pepper one).Looking forward to the studio alt takes though !
― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 9 November 2018 09:17 (five years ago) link
stereo separation in "wild honey pie" feels different and trippier but maybe i'm misremembering the old mix
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Friday, 9 November 2018 17:13 (five years ago) link
i don't like these new one at allsound overhyped and modern barfff
― Greta Van Fleek (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 9 November 2018 17:15 (five years ago) link
Wtf @ this George Martin chat at the start of Revolution No 9? Was that even there at all before?
It was, though it was barely audible on the original mix.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 9 November 2018 17:25 (five years ago) link
As with Pepper, this new stereo mix sounds much more like the original mono mix. I like it.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 9 November 2018 17:39 (five years ago) link
Ah really ? I guess that’s the idea/point then. But except for a few moments it doesn’t add much to the versions I knew (« wild honey pie » does sound different though).
― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 9 November 2018 18:02 (five years ago) link
After listening to the whole thing, The gem in this is the « good night » take with guitar/vocal harmonies imo
― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 9 November 2018 18:58 (five years ago) link
"Wtf @ this George Martin chat at the start of Revolution No 9? Was that even there at all before? "
yes
― akm, Friday, 9 November 2018 20:32 (five years ago) link
"bitch"
I like this remix on the whole. Though it does come across as the Paul McCartney Bass Extravaganza Mix.
and yes, this isn't meant to be some radical remix of the album. all the instruments have a little more definition, are spaced a bit differently, background vocals a bit more prominent. I can't say it's "better" than the original but I like it fine, just like I like the Sgt Pepper mix.
― akm, Friday, 9 November 2018 20:33 (five years ago) link
also, if this part of the legendary 'long' version of helter skelter I see why no one was too keen on releasing the entire thing because it's not very exciting.
― akm, Friday, 9 November 2018 20:40 (five years ago) link
Very curious about "Revolution #9" remix. Maybe Giles will booost up his dad and Alistair Taylor talking about wine so much, it'll sound more like an intro than the Can You Take Me Back snippet.

I haven't heard anything yet, but don't tell me that this is the one I was OTM about.
― pplains, Friday, 9 November 2018 21:09 (five years ago) link
"sexy sadie" doesn't sound radically different but it does sound kind of amazing in this remix
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Friday, 9 November 2018 21:16 (five years ago) link
kind of three dimensional in the way different vocal harmonies and instruments jump out depending on where you're at in the verse
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Friday, 9 November 2018 21:17 (five years ago) link
me and my monkey too. which is one of my favorite songs on the album.
― akm, Friday, 9 November 2018 21:49 (five years ago) link
I’m a bit disappointed that « happiness » doesn’t sound very different. This was one of the songs I thought could have been « remixed » well.
― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 9 November 2018 22:32 (five years ago) link
Dang, "Sexy Sadie" is a good song. Pretty mix and not really a bass extravaganza.
― timellison, Friday, 9 November 2018 23:50 (five years ago) link
The songs with more instrumentation beyond guitar/bass/drums sound the most pronounced and improved here: Glass Onion, Martha My Dear, Piggies(!), Mother Nature's Son, Sexy Sadie
― Darin, Saturday, 10 November 2018 00:05 (five years ago) link
"Piggies" almost Pepper-level psychedelic in its newly polished state. Enjoying this album remix a lot. "Prudence" glorious as well.
― An Uphill Battle For Legumes (Capitaine Jay Vee), Saturday, 10 November 2018 00:24 (five years ago) link
Even with the added clarity of the new mixes the record still sounds less bright and well engineered then either pepper before it or abbey rd after it. The mushy mid heavy sound seems hard coded. Specifically the bass parts, though more audible, still seem low fi. Not that you would necessarily want or expect sparkle on such a bad vibes record.

This is a stunning remaster. My favorite Beatles album. They nailed it.
― flappy bird, Saturday, 10 November 2018 04:59 (five years ago) link
And I hear a lot of new stuff, in every song. It's incredible. They did a great job with the Esher demos, too - a perfect compromise between the beautiful lo-fi messiness of the bootlegs and the sterilized selections on the Anthology. So glad they're widely available now.
― flappy bird, Saturday, 10 November 2018 05:00 (five years ago) link
Highlight for me on first full go through we the rockers like Birthday, Yer Blues and Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except for Me and My Monkey, the bell in which is absolutely great.

I had the same exact thought with this song
― flappy bird, Saturday, 10 November 2018 06:48 (five years ago) link
Digging into the final discs now. Some really great stuff here. You can her McC fucking about with weird vocalizations in take 1 of Hey Jude which feels very inspired by Lennon's vocalizations on take 18 of Revolution 1 (which are of course influenced by Yoko). I can also see why the rest of the Beatles were driven crazy by Paul's millions of takes of Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da. Take 3 is great!
― Darin, Saturday, 10 November 2018 06:52 (five years ago) link
Ok « Revolution 1 » does sound gloriously rich and warm in the remix. Love it !
― AlXTC from Paris, Saturday, 10 November 2018 07:13 (five years ago) link
JFC the studio jam of Los Paranoias is seriously batshit. No idea why they edited this down so severely for the Anthology disc.
― Darin, Saturday, 10 November 2018 07:26 (five years ago) link
« Not guilty » take... 102 ?!! What happened there ??
― AlXTC from Paris, Saturday, 10 November 2018 07:38 (five years ago) link
I take back what I said. Some of these remixes are fucking awful: Dear Prudence, Yer Blues, Happiness, I'm So Tired, Julia. Of course all of Paul's songs sound better. Genuine revelations are remixes of Sexy Sadie, Piggies, Martha My Dear, Don't Pass Me By, Revolution 1. Will echo what was said upthread that the bass and drums and vocals are too loud. I mean Dear Prudence is just a joke. Mumbling at the end of I'm So Tired is quieter. Revolution 9 I have to admit they got right for the most part. but w/e, this is a cool option to have.
