The Piano Tape Re-EQ'ed [steepien]

Post by steepien »

Paul's mysterious 1970s piano tape is very interesting, but not the easiest listen. Compared to the officially released "Women Kind", the bootleg version found on the UAC sounds a bit harsh and runs very fast. Comparing the two directly gave me the idea to re-EQ and speed correct the bootleg version to match the official version more closely.

Basically, "What would it have sounded like if the entire piano tape was released in the Archive Collection?"

Whether it's actually an improvement or not is debatable, but fortunately I've left that decision up to you and also included a second version which is speed corrected but the EQ is untouched.

Hope you enjoy! :)

- Piano tape sourced from One Hand Clapping [Ultimate Archive Collection]
- Disc 1 EQ matched to "Women Kind" from McCartney Archive Edition
- Both discs speed corrected by -2.625%

Thanks for your efforts!

Are we saying that the Piano Tape was recorded sometime in 1970? I always thought it was recorded later, maybe around 1974.
