The Beatles Revolver

Yes I know, John Lennon preferred the mono mixes so you might as well ditch your stereo mixes if you want the classic version:

Maybe my memory fails, but I remember reading in (where was it, in the L.A. Times?) that from the days of "Beatles 65" on, George Martin relentlessly multi-tracked the Beatles' recordings. As my stereo systems continued to get better and better, the multi-tracking became more and more obvious, something that made me appreciate the Beatles less and less. To my ears, the White Album comes off as sometimes absurdly over-produced. It was only in Abbey Road, the final album they recorded(?), where George Martin's hand became a little less heavy...a bit more subtle. In any case, I was transported to seventh heaven when Punk/New Age Rock came on the scene and true, live-in-studio ensemble playing once more found its way onto discs.

I guess my point was in 1966 the band and George Martin put out the album with the technology they had and it still holds up today. To remake it adding or subtracting to it seems wrong. The music The Beatles made to me was special I’m 67 I grew up this music. To strip it down and reassemble it is just not right. But then I don’t have to buy it. So there you go just my 2 cents worth

My take? If I like how it sounds, thumbs up. If I don't like it, in the bin. 

The remix of Taxman from Revolver is available on Spotify.  It sounded pretty good!
