ok this new AI remix…what the hell is that repeating explosion sound during the bridge of “hey bulldog”? Sounds like someone rattling a reverb plate or something??

the “you can talk to me” part

It’s an additional snare drum. It was always there (and arguably more audible on the previous stereo mix).

I wondered that too and yeah it's in the original mix but quieter.
It sounds like a snare reverb, but with a delay in front of it. Nowadays you call it pre-delay on a reverb unit, not sure how they managed that in 1968, perhaps with an Echoplex or a Binson and a bit of patching.

Funny I find it less audible in the remix. Maybe because I’m so used to hearing it clearly in the previous stereo mix.

Cool idea/detail anyway !
weird, yeah, went back and AB-d it with the 2009 mix and couldn’t really hear it. But I know I’m probably listening more closely to this new stuff so maybe most of the new stuff I’m hearing isn’t really new. That said, the set does sound quite dynamic, yeah? Like when Ringo’s drums come in at the middle 8 of “this boy”, it’s like BOOM

Wasn't the remix exclusive to the Yellow Submarine Songtrack comp from the '00s?

The baseline on Hey Bulldog is such a joy (not just on the new mix)

Wasn't it out on VHS/Video Disc in the '80s?

...and on CED!
(That's a deep cut for you obsolete media fans)

CED (vinyl video disks) were obsolete from the day they first went on sale
― Lee626, Tuesday, 16 April 2024 20:22 (five months ago) link
Yup. Probably the source of the bootleg DVD-R's out there.

I remember that CED! I was in a media studies class about 20 years ago and the professor asked us to do a show & tell on arcane formats. Somebody brought in CEDs of Let It Be and The Compleat Beatles doc.

No Beatles vs. The Four Seasons, no cred.

I’ve been waiting for a new Beatles thing to ignite interest and spike up the price of the mono box I bought thinking I could flip it. This ain’t the thing.

Hear the Beatles Tell All is better than The Beatles' Story anyway, in this relative world

presumably these are all slathered in Dave Dexter reverb; at least no fake stereo.
― assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 13 September 2024 07:19 (one week ago) link
well there is some fake mono (fold downs). the stereo ones are rumored to be coming. the beatles' second album was my first non-children's lp and it might still be the best one i've heard.
