It's insane how loud the audience is on these recordings, especially considering they weren't miked (that is, not even a single ambient mic pointed at the crowd).

love the beatles but i have zero interest in hearing the hollywood bowl recordings unless they magically delete the audience

Just had a listen to the original on Youtube, god what a fucking racket. I guess you could take the crowd out fairly easily now.
Lol, 'Demix' technology is just obfuscation, what they're probably doing is using Izotope RX5 Denoising software.

They probably sound lousy underneath the audience noise, anyway. I'll stick with Live at the BBC.

And here it is, in all its newly-DEMIXED glory:http://www.rollingstone.com/music/premieres/hear-beatles-newly-remixed-boys-from-hollywood-bowl-w437147
I can't tell much (if any) difference between this and the 1977 pre-DEMIXED version.

it's fun as an artifact, and i thought the boys sounded pretty damn tight considering they couldn't even hear themselves play. but yeah, it's not much good as an actual album to listen to for enjoyment
― messiahwannabe, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 18:10 (eight years ago) link
yeah, most impressive thing to me is that they pretty much nail the backing vocals, which could not have been easy.

chap from the unfortunately-titled WogBlog gives the new movie a sound thrashing. i mean he's an obsessive fan so he's bound to have gripes, but what excellent gripes they are!

Ringo said: "When we saw the first cut there were a lot of other people doing a lot of talking, which I believe he’s cut out now and it’s mainly me and Paul talking and it’s better.”
never change Ringo.

Just as long as they didn't cut that one Irish guy with the yellow glasses.

i'm a huge beatles nerd and even I'm rolling my eyes at that review
i mean, i get it..but jeez
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 2 October 2016 16:14 (seven years ago) link
I dunno, I think that review gets it right. The film struck me as Anthology Lite, with shitty (and totally unnecessary, and distracting) colorization. Showing clips with Jimmy Nicol without mentioning him was weird, and there was far too much emphasis on the films and studio records for a film purportedly about their live performance days.
Hamburg got short shrift, especially considering George always maintained that was their peak ("our best stuff was never recorded"). As did the Cavern -- George Martin was so impressed with their show that he initially wanted their first album to be a live recording.
In Anthology, they all talk about the allure of America being the music they loved -- the Shirelles, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino (who appears in the film, but is not identified), and especially Motown. No one thought to ask their feelings on playing in Detroit, where their heroes were from (and who were their stiffest competition on the US charts)? Instead, we get John talking about Fred Astaire, which, fine...but I think Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye deserved mention (in the clip with Murray the K, John is phoning him to request "Pride and Joy").
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 2 October 2016 17:01 (seven years ago) link
I saw the film this weekend and I thought it was embarrassingly dull. I liked George's rather dry comments, but most of his extracts were from Anthology. I enjoyed the Shea Stadium extra more than the film itself.

You want remaster? Have six discs of it!
― Mark G, Tuesday, 4 April 2017 19:48 (seven years ago) link
I'm seriously struggling to think of how they would fill those 6 discs ... obviously, there'd be the LP (in mono and stereo), other singles and B-sides put out in '67, possibly some Anthology-type stuff... the internet would lose its shit if 'Carnival of Light' was on there, which I would expect to be a listen-once-and-then-meh kinda deal anyway.

probably my least favorite of their psychedelic period releases tbh
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 4 April 2017 20:22 (seven years ago) link
I am the kind of clown that would almost shell out for just the two discs of just Sgt. Pepper's "outtakes and extras," even though I know the Anthology must have already sopped up the juiciest stuff. Don't care, I'll listen to random other takes of "Lovely Rita" or whatever else you've got. But a six-disc pacakge for $150...whoooof!
― long dark poptart of the rodeo (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 4 April 2017 20:23 (seven years ago) link
I would happily lose my shit if "Carnival of Light" was on there. But my guess is it's mostly false starts, breakdowns, and isolated instrument/vocal tracks.

Shakey OTM. I listen to Magical Mystery Tour and the first half of Yellow Submarine far more these days.

Surely McCartney must be aware by now that, fifty years down the line, Sgt. Pepper's generally isn't considered to be their finest work.

in Beatles fan circles people moaned like fuck about how they missed the Revolver 50th and how there'd been no package to commemorate it, so they were damned if they did/didn't really. meanwhile in Liverpool there's a whole slew of anniversary dos across 2 monthshttp://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/sgt-peppers-lonely-hearts-club-band-50th-anniversary-beatles-album-liverpool-plans-celebrates-a7645231.html

zillionth? well that's the thing, to be honest until 2009's reissues there'd been remarkably little in the way of repackaging. and this is The Beatles! even now there's only been one set of out-takes and that was 22 years ago. i mean if you compare it to the endless boxes-with-t-shirts-and-6-discs-in affairs that Bowie seemed so keen on, to say nothing of the 'every single session recorded in 1966 across 27 discs!' style hoo ha that Dylan gets, or the Miles splurges, it's been pretty thin gruel all round.
i mean check the name of this thread!

i've come back around on Sgt. Pepper, it has a really great side 1. i always forget about "Getting Better" when i'm not listening to it, it's one of their best songs.
i want them to release "Carnival of Light" and any psychedelic late night jams they want to throw on as well.

Not only that, but at the time the reaction -- from fans, from their parents, from people who'd never paid any attention to them -- was overwhelming. It's such an annoying boomer cliche, but everyone was digging that record, and while it arguably pales in comparison to Revolver, I'm sure it was this reaction coming after months of laboring over it that sticks in Paul's and Ringo's minds rather than, say, "Huh, Mojo didn't vote it #1."
