Lord Reith, I must say I don't usually go for demixes, but these really are truly enjoyable. All your demix work has been tasteful and well done, but for me these have a great sense of history and are just beautiful. From the bottom of my Beatles collector, musician and producer heart, thank you for...

It's really amazing just how generally error free the original Beatles mixes are and during mono/stereo mixing they were fading and modifying effects and levels LIVE as the tape was rolling. The Beatles multi-tracks are mostly pristine with no obvious head wear or crinkles/stretches you might get w...

The warble isn't quite a half-step, but it is definitely there. No doubt about it. I have a feeling it's not a mastering error but potentially a bit of stretch damage to the four-track tape or the result of time-stretching elements to sync them up (which would be totally avoidable, btw).

I don't know if anybody else has digitized the Mexican EPs, but I have about 60 or 70 of them, some on EMI, some on Capitol, some on Apple, and they're nothing to write home about sonically. Most are mono, but a bunch of the EMI ones are stereo, and pretty tinny sounding.

Can NOT thank you enough, LR! You are a true friend to the community.

Sorry there will be another one either today or tomorrow. You, sir, have nothing whatsoever to apologize for. You're doing a significantly better job with these archival releases of yours than Apple has done with any of theirs even with their incredible archive and resources, and I don't care who h...

TY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

For the record, I have no doubt that the stereo portion of the MR ACOBO disc is vinyl sourced. First of all, it sounds like vinyl, and not great vinyl at that. Secondly I did a test on Bad Boy, I Feel Fine, and I Want To Hold Your Hand. No sync whatsoever.

EDIT: I'm 99.9% sure that MMT in mono is entirely from the CD EP. Collection of Oldies is a mix of sources: CD EPs, CD Singles and Bad Boy is a fold-down of the stereo from Past Masters 1. In my comparison I used the Canadian Disque Americ pressing of Past Masters but I'm positive it's identical to...
