this thread title should be changed to "This is the thread where we let the Beatles take all our money"

That 24-bit format is what they used in that little green usb apple thingy, and it sounds amazing.

Can't wait to see how much Apple thinks we'll pay for that.

The apple usb stick was, like, $200 for the works. For comparison.

I'm waiting for the ProTools files, at which point I'll gladly mortgage my house.

Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau) points out on the Let It Be thread that THIS is the next boot off the block in Fabs world:
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-yPQHInLjTUo/TW455ysbg6I/AAAAAAAACqE/ADIGRKDA3l4/s400/letitbefrontbeebdvd.jpg
You can expect to see a new version of the Let It Be film on DVD, distributed on the internet in about 2 weeks time. Specs are:
- NTSC format- 1.66:1 anamorphic picture- Completely new hifi audio track assembled from the film crew's Nagra reels and stereo mixes- Original mono audio option
This new transfer has been made from an original, undamaged VHS recording of the BBC2 repeat from Christmas 1979. Unusually, the Beeb screened the widescreen 35mm theatrical print with black bars at the top and bottom. When officially released on VHS and laserdisc some years later, this widescreen version was cropped severely at the sides to produce a full-frame image. Here it is presented unaltered.
Although the film was shot at 24 frames per second, BBC2 aired it in PAL format at 25 fps. For this disc it has been slowed down to 23.976 fps and presented in a compatible NTSC format, thus preserving the correct speed and pitch of the original. The actual picture area has been scaled up to 480 pixels and encoded in anamorphic format so as not to lose any resolution.

mm there's THAT like of course. according to WogBlog the original planned 3 disc 5.1 dvd from '05 which was shelved was meant to include this:
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: A collection of rare footage of The Beatles recording in the studio (none of this is "Let It Be" era material). The footage listed includes And I Love Her, Paperback Writer, Rain, All You Need Is Love, Hey Bulldog, Lady Madonna, Helter Skelter, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Blackbird, Tutti Frutti, Hey Jude (this track alone went for 20 minutes), St Louis Blues.-
man what i'd give to see that...
― piscesx, Wednesday, 2 March 2011 18:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Lots of that kind of thing on Youtube - better quality and longer on the dvd presumably, but this is still pretty cool. Loled at a stoned George bothering GM talking about how all music is the same, man.

I dunno about stoned, but GHarrison would be fairly pissed off at this point, as he had been bounced off the session as his suggested guitar motif had been nixed by Paul.
"Hey Jude".. dwing dwing
Ahahaha. No, George"
like that.

Would anyone be willing and able to slip me an invite to this Green Demon thing so that I can see these Unsurpassable videos?

Carnival of Light
― Hyper Rescue Troop (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 23 March 2011 19:20 (thirteen years ago) link
In 1996 McCartney tried to release the track on the compilation album The Beatles Anthology 2, but George Harrison voted to reject it. According to McCartney, the reason was that “he didn’t like avant garde music” and referred to avant garde as ‘avant garde a clue’ (“haven’t got a clue”).

I haven't been able to get the file yet but a) that's because it's busy, so if other people are grabbing it that means it will pop up elsewhere soon and b) no one's shut the site down yet
― Hyper Rescue Troop (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 23 March 2011 20:39 (thirteen years ago) link
ooooh I stand corrected - d/ling now!
― Hyper Rescue Troop (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 23 March 2011 20:40 (thirteen years ago) link
I haven't heard this, but how do we know it's legit? Wouldn't it be pretty easy to fake? (well, not "easy," but no way to compare it to the real thing)
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 20:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Mm Ian Mcdonald makes that same point in Revolution In The Head. Although he'd actually heard it. Mm.
― piscesx, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 20:48 (thirteen years ago) link
listening now - roughly 13 minutes long. I have no idea if this is "real" or not
― Hyper Rescue Troop (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 23 March 2011 20:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Downloading now. Big file!
― nate woolls, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 20:49 (thirteen years ago) link
there are some bass tones in this that make me a little suspicious, tbh
― Hyper Rescue Troop (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 23 March 2011 20:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Twitter seems to be saying it's out-takes mixed with fakes by some joker/s.

?!how crap is that poster.http://vuvuvuvuvu.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/carnival_of_light012.jpg
you'd think if you had Macca contributing at your night that you'd at least make his name clear on the poster.
― piscesx, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 20:55 (thirteen years ago) link
most telling aspect is I don't hear anything that remotely resembles Macca or Lennon's voice
― Hyper Rescue Troop (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 23 March 2011 20:57 (thirteen years ago) link
like, in their other cut-up stuff of the period (the Xmas singles, Rev. No. 9) there are a lot of "silly voices" sorta bits that are readily identifiable as the lads'. not so here. and again, there are some suspiciously thick fuzz bass sounds on this - nobody sounded like this in 1967.
― Hyper Rescue Troop (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 23 March 2011 21:01 (thirteen years ago) link
i like the drums on the 'reel to reel' segment whoever it is.
― piscesx, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 21:06 (thirteen years ago) link
right well the bit with *Cookie Monster* isn't from 1967. and i've heard that 'the Watusi..the Twist' loop before. it's off a Go Home Productions thing i think.

me too!
― tylerw, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 21:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Haven't heard this yet (still at the office) but Shakey's description makes it sound like something (fake) I heard before (grungy bass, no L&M voices, 12-odd minutes long)
― Myonga Vön Bontee, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 21:14 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah it's a series of fakes /bits of studio excerpts. there's no "Barcelona!" bit on it either.
― piscesx, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 21:16 (thirteen years ago) link
not even any attempt to be convincing here, just trying to get their loop-based remixes an audience.
they are on the weird side & I must admit I enjoyed them. 'liverpool sound collage' should have been more like this.
― Milton Parker, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 21:37 (thirteen years ago) link
oh sorry. the last track is the real attempt to trick us. neither convincing or interesting.
and overall segment 3 was the only one I enjoyed, the others not as much
― Milton Parker, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 21:45 (thirteen years ago) link
god and if the cover image in the mp3 were high resolution enough, it'd be clear the name of this 'album' is 'Carnival of Light: Fakes, Frauds and Phonies'
I'm in the camp that's listened to all the multiple takes of 'What's The New Mary Jane' consecutively through, more than once -- I'm impatient for the original to finally make it out
― Milton Parker, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 21:51 (thirteen years ago) link
i feel that same pain.
― piscesx, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 22:14 (thirteen years ago) link
so it's a fake ? no use d/l it ?
― AlXTC from Paris, Thursday, 24 March 2011 16:45 (thirteen years ago) link
If it was real, I'd be a huge deal and you'd read about it everywhere. Like an hour or so after that Revolution outtake leaked it was on pitchfork....
― Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 24 March 2011 23:07 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah this was some bullshit

Thank ypou for the Demonoid things - I got it eventually, just have to put it on DVDs now.
Also discovered many busty Russians in my area want to meet me.
― PJ Miller, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 12:32 (thirteen years ago) link
so a hobo came in my store a while back and for some reason left a sealed copy of the abbey road remaster in the store and i'm guessing he stole it from the store across the street. i'll never know i guess. i never saw the guy again. cost 20 bucks! that's expensive. anyway, it sounds HORRIBLE. like, really really horrible. this is my first exposure to the beatles on cd and i think its my last. its honestly pretty much everything i hate about digital remastering all on one cd. yuck!
― scott seward, Monday, 25 April 2011 14:23 (thirteen years ago) link
that's an interesting take, as the recent remasters were nearly universally praised for being the near-opposite of that (examples of modern digital remasters in which no-noise techniques are compression are used quite liberally). Ah well, to each...
― xtianDC, Monday, 25 April 2011 15:57 (thirteen years ago) link
ha yeah, the beatles remasters are great. scott may just be too much of a vinyl guy.
― tylerw, Monday, 25 April 2011 16:22 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, I'm curious as to what Scott found so offensive about them.
― Darin, Monday, 25 April 2011 17:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Maybe the Hobo remastered it, and wants to stir-up some sort of buzz in record stores before taking it to Apple inc.
I don't know how much I'd pay for the entire Beatles catalog remastered by Hobos'.
