The Beatles Revolver

Something New? Because? You Can’t Do That! Let it Be!  Tomorrow Never Knows…. Help!

I thought Giles’ “White Album” sounded great. Totally cool if someone owns an OG UK vinyl, or is willing to pay huge $ for it, but this would be another, totally sensible option to me.

At the point technology is now, not sure what’s so heretical by these gimmicks they’re tossing into their promotional speech (I say ‘gimmick’ in regards to marketing language, not the actual process of AI audio separation)

Is what they’re doing here so much mote intrusively futzy than other modern remasterings? They’re probably tossing in all the tech-y speech to garner public interest to make the release more commercially viable.

I am looking for to the new mix of Revolver.  I remember listing to the new mix of The Beatles "1" by Giles Martin and thinking the balance of the mix sounded the same.  Then it dawned on my the artificial placement of instruments and sometimes vocals to hard left or right was changed to a more realistic placement of them.  Think about it, do you ever see the drummer placed anywhere on stage other than the center.  Same with voices on stage are never to the extreme left or right.  Then his soundtrack to the Cirque du Soleil show "Love" was such a thrill, buying it on the day of release.  It I would say could be thought of as an interpretation but it still was The Beatles' vocals and instruments.  To those who think it's simply a money-grab, do you really prefer the unnatural stereo of the original releases?  Have you ever noticed a mistake in the panning of Paul's vocal in "Eleanor Rigby" at one point as he sings "all the lonely people"?  From what I have read The Beatles did not take part in the mixing of the stereo versions through "The White Album".  If you haven't read it I strongly recommend reading "Here There and Everywhere" by Geoff Emerick.

Yeah, this is like when they colorized black and white movies.  No sane reason to do it, but some people thought otherwise.  Feel free to ignore or love it to death, after all It's only rock and roll.
