IIRC in the stereo TYG the last harmonica riff (not counting the onr in the coda) enters a bit earlier than in the mono, creating a bit of a syncopation. That's because it cuts to the ending edit piece (and the harmonica overdubbed on top of it) earlier than the mono version does. MONO - Last choru...

When I rebuilt FMTY or TYG I noticed that one of the harmonica overdubs in the released version could not be matched to the session tape. So it must have been physically cut from the session/SI tape and inserted into the master? Not sure offhand. But the transition to the edit piece at the end of T...

To answer the original question: Does anybody know if there are bootlegs of EMI Delta reels of the Beatles. I'm sure I've read somewhere that EMI (knowingly or unwittingly) used the deltas for the Hits and Twist And Shout EPs. More enlightenment on this topic would be gratefully appreciated. Many th...

That Norman Smith had some quick fader fingers, hadn't he? ;) The bad 'was in' track has never booted, am I right? You really know your stuff! Yup, that double tracking removes quite a bit of emotional power of what was supposed to be an early focal point of the song. If they ever get to do a new m...

To be fair, I like it a lot as well. The only goof I wish they had corrected was the If I Fell thing where they muted the wrong vocal track (it seems that they remembered they had to do it in the mono mix to hide Paul's bad note but did not check out the result afterwards). And maybe it is because ...

This makes me realise more than ever than the myth that the stereo mixes were more hastily done and the stereo wasn't given attention rests solely on the shoulders of one album. ONE. And that's A Hard Day's Night, which was mixed entirely in a single day and with some extra sloppiness which I attri...

Right, so what you're saying is, the Take 10-12 reel was in both formats, spliced for both final edits, and the (delta) mono got bootlegged. Being 'delta' in the sense that it was from the live dub, not so much the live recording session. That does make sense although it's weird that for example Re...

Here's a screenshot of the small timing anomaly in the intro of I Saw Her Standing There: Top is the stereo version intro (folded to mono), bottom is the mono version intro (highlighted section is 'Four!' going into the track proper). https://i.postimg.cc/PfpDMRD0/ISHST-intro2.png Notice that in the...

The surviving documentation is clear that the reel was recorded twin-track only, and don't forget the copies that ended up at the bootleggers weren't necessarily native dubs, most of it came from Scott and others that leaked it privately and that ultimately got copied further. That means that any s...
