The Beatles Movie Medley (RMW 2015)

Post by mojofilter »

Here's Andrew at Parlogram talking about why this is the only record in The Beatles' official canon to be totally unavailable on any medium except the original 45. It was deleted in 1984 and has never come back into print again, and apparently, it never will. Apple hates it.



In 2015, I recreated the record with true, wide stereo from better sources, and more accurate crossfades and editing - by computer as opposed to scissors and sticky tape, and corrected pitch. Another member of the Beatleg fraternity heard that, and went to work on synchronizing that new soundtrack to the best-quality copy of the video that he could find. He said he was tearing his hair out by the end, for all the wizardry he had to perform to make it all line up. As a result, any places in the video that should be in sync with the music are now exactly in sync (unlike the original). Thanks again from me. I watched it again tonight, and it makes me happy. Some of you will have this already, but even more of you won't even have known it exists!

Included: Movie Medley (2015 RMW audio recreation), Fab Four On Film (RMW audio restoration), and Movie Medley (reconstructed video).

It was only a few days ago I was playing Stars on 45 for a laugh, which then led to me digging out the 45 of movie medley. It was weird at the time when this came out and was clearly a response to SO45. At the time Apple were looking for any excuse to get albums out, love Songs, the Beatles Ballads, 20 greatest hits and thanks to SO45 Reel music (only made it to 56 in the UK album chart by the way)
Great to hear your clean cut version and the synchronized video. Marvellous :D

Thank you. Like you said, I had no idea it existed!

This is really very good but I can't help noticing that on the original the end of the Ticket to Ride segment has a fade in of Get Back playing underneath. Here it sounds like it's a clean edit into it.

Thanks everyone.

Being the person who worked on it, I can assure you that there is a crossfade from "Ticket To Ride" to "Get Back."

This is a major improvement over the horrific (yes, I said it) original. Nice job!
