Re: "Australian" version of "I Want To Hold Your Hand"

Paul, have you heard the stereo mix with the count-in that was on the 1981 "bounus" EP from the EP box? It's on the CD EP box also. That tape appears to be the ORIGINAL stereo master minus the severe mid-range boost and compression of the supposed stereo "master". The sound qual...

Re: Disque Americ Revolver

Thought I'd check "She Said She Said" from the Disque Americain version versus my '87 CD versus the USB stick version. The sonics of the '09 reissue of the track have been criticised for quite a long time at SH Forums (and elsewhere, no doubt). No great difference EQ-wise between the Disqu...

Re: Cry Baby Cry (Take 1 blended with the regular version) - Can You Take Me Back (fadeout fixed)

I read that with one of those audiophile uploads, maybe it was that German Pepper tape. But I seem to recall there was no chance of him sharing them. You might be thinking of the AudioPhil versions of Abbey Road and SPLHCB - I don't know if there are any more Beatles albums from AudioPhil. The EMI ...

Re: Cry Baby Cry (Take 1 blended with the regular version) - Can You Take Me Back (fadeout fixed)

The story is that when the cds came out in 87 they threw all their previous master tapes in a skip and they were rescued and taken home by an employee. Lucky guy. Lucky guy, all right! I hope he, his friends and family have enjoyed listening to the tapes through excellent gear through the years. Mo...

I'm thinking of sprucing up the two LPs, so once done, we'll have 24 bit 48 kHz versions of the two LPs!!

Re: Cry Baby Cry (Take 1 blended with the regular version) - Can You Take Me Back (fadeout fixed)

Thanks. It seems they did this just for Australia and it was sent there never to return, necessitate the inferior remix in 1966 (which they mixed like Revolver, panning all the bass frequencies into the centre). We'll call it the "convict version"!! :lol: :D The Beatles tape vault at EMI ...

Re: Cry Baby Cry (Take 1 blended with the regular version) - Can You Take Me Back (fadeout fixed)

I thought I'd share the rare "Australian" version of "I Want To Hold Your Hand", taken from the Greatest Hits Volume 1 LP I've shared here. Quite a lot of work was needed to get this one into shape! https://yung.cloud/track/38083/05-i-want-to-hold-your-hand-cleaned-up-and-remaste...
