I would be interested! I too enjoy finding these little oddities. My guess as to why the cassette from 1989 also has the fade-in would be because when they went to create the cassette master they already had their "master" tape in their library and didn't see any reason to reach out to EM...

If that's of any interest, I have this French version on cassette. Bought in France in 1989, with the standard packaging from these times ( https://www.discogs.com/release/6903460-The-Beatles-Abbey-Road ), but the content of the tape is French, so to speak, as Come Together fades in too. Funny they ...

Another thing they did was to change the pitch of John's vocals. Perhaps that is a reason he sounds different from the demo. His piano was out of tune; in 1995, they used capo's on their guitars to 'detune' their guitars (see the photo's), but in 2023 they didn't need them anymore. I suppose they u...

Ringo has been using that a lot, sadly, but, to be fair, not as much as people say. Most of his songs have a natural voice. No, really, it's EVERYWHERE. On each and every song on every studio album and EP at least since "Ringo 2012", and on most of "Y Not" for sure. "Y Not&...

Speaking of Autotune, why oh WHY did they have to use it on John's voice. That opening verse sounds so robotic. It's madness... they wait 30 years for the tech to appear that can cleanly isolate his voice, and then they do their best to wreck it. First of all, let me state that I hate Autotune with...

Don't hear any traces of the bits mentioned in the mono mix personally. The only one I hear in the mono mix is "sur les armoiries", and the reason I can hear it is because I know when to listen - it's extremely faint, but definitely there. I wouldn't be able to tell what is said if there ...

So was the extra radio stuff in the new mix always there and has been boosted, perhaps? Gotta synch up the mono mix and see if anything corresponds.... Yes, I think that's it . Boosted way way up ! . Don't hear any traces of the bits mentioned in the mono mix personally. The only one I hear in the ...

Moving on to Walrus: Did the french and german bits in the outro appear anywhere before LOVE? Does it say 'Vorsitzende des Ministerrates, Poroshenko' or 'Korotshenko'? Ah ! I just listened to the remix with headphones for the first time and was about to post a message about this because I couldn't ...

Excellent stuff Lord Reith. Really enjoyable and a real improvement on the originals. I may have been fooling myself but I sensed a reduction in Jeff Lynne's influence which is no bad thing at all. To be honest I get a little confused when I hear people talk about that. Maybe I haven't heard enough...
