What about the 5.1 remasters in 2026?
Yea... The next step after the 2CD Collector's Editions released around 2018. Would be particularly interesting to hear the 1963 2 track recordings in 5.1 surround, not to mention "Love Me Do", "PS I Love You", "She Loves You" and "I'll Get You". :)

I knew a guy once who had a 4D Beatles youtube channel. His name? Ludwig Wittgenstein. The year? 1912. The place? Trinity College, University of Cambridge, moral sciences club.

Yeah I got 3d glasses and they don't work either. I think the red/cyan channels are just way too shifted. They sort of look alright from far away, as thumbnails or whatever, but yeah...

was idly wondering this morning about how much John contributed to George and Paul's various tracks post-White Album. Take "Old Brown Shoe", for instance, is John even on that? Or "Something"? Did the other two just occasionally bring him around for a rhythm guitar part here and maybe a backing vocal there...? I've never gotten the impression that he was interested in playing the multi-instrumentalist roles that George and Paul often assumed

like that sounds like John playing rhythm guitar on "Get Back" but it's hardly like a critical or creative part or anything
― "smokin' hot" albeit in a "Nickelback on iPod" sort of way (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 29 November 2010 18:06 (thirteen years ago) link
It really seems like as they neared the end, John would come in toward the end and shake a tambourine on their songs and that would be that.

I was wondering about this because I was reading about how John had been "hurt" that George completely glossed over their relationship in his autobio (I Me Mine) and that John felt he had served as a mentor to George, that it was them against Paul, etc. But everything else I've read about their relationship seems to bely this - John refusing to play on George's stuff, not being interested in him contributing songs, etc.

Shakey, Im about to consult the Bible (Lewisohn's "Recording Sessions") so I'll let you know what it says...
― Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 29 November 2010 18:32 (thirteen years ago) link
16 April 1969 : "Old Brown Shoe" had a rhythm track recorded live w all 4 Beatles, including John on rhythm guitar. John also joined Paul for backing vocals. John did further guitar overdubs two days later. They also did "Something" on this day but John isn't on that one, even though he was apparently still in the studio. Probably shouldn't read too much into that because early on he was pretty vocal about it being one of the best Beatles songs.
As for "Here Comes the Sun", which was started later in the summer, he wasn't on that either. "Recording Sessions" say it was due to injuries, and he was in a car crash in Scotland the week before, with Yoko, Kyoko, and Julian.

huh interesting - thx!

Also it looks like as soon as John got back into the studio, Paul was drilling everyone into turning "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" into the next "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da", so I would guess that song curbed John's lack of interest more than anything.

funny that paul didn't just play the whole thing himself -- kind of sounds like he did anyway.

My favorite version of Maxwell is John's piss-take, where Paul chimes in Tiny Tim style. They could still have fun, even toward the end.

I just picture Paul grinning away, playing piano with everyone else scowling, grumpily banging hammers on a rail tie
― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Monday, 29 November 2010 20:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Aren't railroad ties made of wood? I don't remmber hearing any railroad ties being played on Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Great, now there's another bootleg that I need to track down: the railroad tie mix of Maxwell's Silver Hammer.

Imagine if the Beatles actually toured to support the Abbey Road album. They had have to stop everything and wait for Mal to trot out on stage with his anvil.

haha. wasn't Mal technically on the records more than anyone else aside from the Fabs themselves? like more than Yoko or Billy Preston or Clapton or whoever.

If you read Mal Evans wikipedia page, it makes a strong case for him being the unsung fifth Beatle.

Evans was killed by police on 5 January 1976 at his rented duplex in Los Angeles. Officers were called when his girlfriend phoned the police and told them that Evans was confused and had a gun. The police believed that the air rifle Evans was holding was a rifle and shot him dead.]

instance, is John even on that? Or "Something"?
There's a session boot where John sings the lead vocal on "Something" so George can work out the harmony lines. If that's not helping, dunno what is.

Not as bad as Mal's out-of-time Anvil playing. (The LP version does not feature him)
