I have had it up to here waiting for the Beatles catalogue to be remastered

movie is depressing and kinda pointless tho, unfortunately

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...

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?

If so, pjmiller68 [at] gmail dot com.

Kthx in anticipation.

Thank you very much!

(I have two now...)

Carnival of Light

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”).

wiiiiiiiin

whoa is this for real?

the mp3 of carnival of light i mean

more like Carnival of ____ amirite

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

ooooh I stand corrected - d/ling now!

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)

Mm Ian Mcdonald makes that same point in Revolution In The Head. Although he'd actually heard it. Mm.

listening now - roughly 13 minutes long. I have no idea if this is "real" or not

Downloading now. Big file!

there are some bass tones in this that make me a little suspicious, tbh

Twitter seems to be saying it's out-takes mixed with fakes by some joker/s.

?!how crap is that poster.

you'd think if you had Macca contributing at your night that you'd at least make his name clear on the poster.

most telling aspect is I don't hear anything that remotely resembles Macca or Lennon's voice

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.

i like the drums on the 'reel to reel' segment whoever it is.

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.

now i'm confused.

me too!

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)

yeah it's a series of fakes /bits of studio excerpts. there's no "Barcelona!" bit on it either.

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.

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

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

i feel that same pain.

so it's a fake ? no use d/l it ?

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....

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.

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!

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...

ha yeah, the beatles remasters are great. scott may just be too much of a vinyl guy.

yeah, I'm curious as to what Scott found so offensive about them.

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'.

Yeah, I love Scott and really value his thoughts, but after this revive I have to call into question whenever he says a CD sounds like crap. I think these remasters are a prime example of how they should be done.

if i can't turn a cd up really loud without it getting distorted then it sucks. end of story. and this is a very common complaint i have with remastered albums on cd. its not like i have some amazing hi-fi system here at the store, but i play a zillion records and CDs every day and get good sound out of it all the time. they made the cd soooooooooooo loud and i just kinda hate that. the bottom end is just a nightmare. maybe its just a bum copy. what do i know. i can't turn my stereo volume up to the halfway mark without the sound breaking up. and there is a low-level hiss in the background that is very audible. and the brassiness grates. i mean, i like cool digital drum sounds. but i like them on records recorded digitally on cumputers NOW. not an approximation of a digital drum sound on a record over 40 years old. man, the guitar in the intro to polythene pam, who remastered this, ross robinson? blah. i'd shell out for an old mfsl half-speed master on vinyl if i saw one somewhere. they sound great. cd people are strange! they should listen to this album the way it sounded when it came out. sounded great!

you should hear these sheffield lab/boston acoustics sampler CDs i picked up at a thrift store last week. from 1991. so cool! i mean the music sucks for the most part but the sound is cool. they put out a test cd that is nothing but snippets of jim keltner playing beats. need to find that one!

scott OTM

I won't argue that the original vinyl sounds way better, but his complaints about the remastered disc don't sound anything like my experience with them.

yeah, i mean, i haven't heard the vinyl on hi-fi equipment or anything, but to say these CDs sound bad doesn't seem right to me. abbey road sounds lush/gorgeous/full to my ears in the new remaster.
