BEATLES LET IT BE 50th DELUXE- WHAT'S NEW?

[mikec]

I am still excited for the set regardless of cock-ups, but I understand the frustrations.

Mike or anybody else, do you happen the know the 2007 DDSI numbers for the new (and old) material? Would love to compile an expanded version of what I've already got, like I've done with each anniversary release to date, and I have the LIB outtakes organized by DDSI number on my main Deluxe set...

Hi!
I've tried to put the Roll number and recording date in my review for easy finding, but not too deep to avoid the review be so nerdy or boring, and the thing why I didn't use those DDSI numbers is because a) my review was intended for the general readers so even including the Nagra rolls sounds boring for many, imagine if I put those numbers that b) sometimes don't match depending on the list you have in hand or the Bootleg you have, and I didn’t wanted to say that "X" rehearsal is (for example) 21.15 but in some bootleg it is actually 21.13 or 21.14 or 21.16, etc. The separations that you request were made with a personal criterion, in addition to that they do not always coincide with what we have in our collections; the page http://getbacksessions.blogspot.com/ can be a good reference but even there many numbers do not coincide with those of 'NEW BLUE SOAP' or with "Glyn Johns Get Back Sessions Multitrack Reels" or the official “LIB50th” to give you some examples, those separate numbers were created but the Rolls numbers come from the film crew that nobody can modify, that's why they are in my review.

To give you an idea of how my review would have looked if I had entered those numbers, here is just an example: (following the page http://getbacksessions.blogspot.com/)

Disc 3 - Rehearsals & Apple Jams
“On the Day Shift Now”:
00:01-00:04- 2.03
00:05-00:07- 2.04
00:08-00:18 2.19
00:18-00:22- 2.15 + 2.16
(It would have been too confusing for many fans and the review would be too long)

What this new official collection also gave us is much more information about which takes were actually recorded on the 8-track tapes, to correct what was previously thought correct, such as EMI Tape E90498-8T which is the one that really includes “Get Back 27.52 ”, and not EMI Tape E90497 as stated for years among fans (there are slight errors on January 27, 1969 where there are many DDSI numbers missing from what was actually recorded and what was not, on tapes E90497, 98 and 99, for example).
And now we also know that there is another 8-track tape from January 25, 1969 that contains the following DDSI numbers 25.58-63 (previously un-documented)
Best Regards.

Thank you very much!!!! It is a huge work!

Thanks and best regards Oleg!

Pointing out a couple of issues in the boxset:
- On Dig A Pony (Take 14) at 3:49, and Get Back (Take 8) at 3:48, in the right channel, we can hear the same weird abruptly cut guitar chord that doesn't belong in neither of the tracks. I have no idea how that happened and at what stage...

Dig A Pony (Take 14)


Get Back (Take 8)


- The channels of Get Back (Take 19) are delayed.

Yes, and it seems that it is the same guitar in both cases.

For take 19 of "Get Back" I have fixed it and it sounds waaaay better.

Yes it is

Can some clever remixer use one of those vocal extract websites and get the vocal centered on the "Get Back" outtake????
Thank you in advance!

Which one? Take 19?
If you fix the delay you will have the vocal centered.

Besides what is NEW, has anyone looked at what is upgraded from what he had before?

Martin85, if someone not adept at any audio editing (even the most rudimentary) wants to hear Get Back with the channel delay removed, would it be possible to share your results? (admittedly I'm an audio editor idiot, but would love to hear how the fixed version sounds).

Thank you so much for the in-depth analysis! Simply amazing.

But as a completist, I'm afraid that I'm still going to get the box set. Also, Let It Be is a very special album to me, as it was the first Beatles album I bought on vinyl with my dad many moons ago.

Also, with so many creative and talented fellow Beatle fans in this community, I foresee a corrected set or at least tracks posted on this community (specifically the edits and corrected stereo) being posted in the near future

Happy Wednesday to one and all, and again thank you for such an in-depth analysis!

Thank you! yeah, it's an official product and should be in our collection no matter what, and for you even more with those wonderful memories with your Dad!

Thank you!
