All of these are great! I feel like I'm in the studio at the mixing board

Yes, just like being Norman Smith setting the levels on the REDD desk just before mercilously squishing it all down to only two channels with a crap-ton of reverb and compression.

Boy, how wonderful are these versions! I've always dreamed of hearing stuff like that, but clean, or with just a few separate instruments, vocals, etc.
Could you do that with all the songs on Please Please Me? And With The Beatles too? Would be wonderful!

I don't understand anything about these current technologies and I wouldn't even know how to do it, but I'm glad someone is kind enough to do it.

Thank you very much for this work that you offer us here, in the fullness of its beauty and purity.

Cheers !

Thanks for accommodating my request!
Is a guitar and vocals mix not interesting?

Meh. The bass bleeds in on a couple notes and just the guitars and vocals gives me a bit of a headache honestly.

Haha, yeah that repeating guitar riff doesn't sound well on its own.

This is awesome stuff. Thank you!
Personally Im hoping that youll do “Do You Want To Know A Secret” with the unfaded cold ending

Lord Reith already covered that album. I don't have a reference quality system so I would be afraid to release such a thing. LR was doing a "what if they had 3-track instead" remix instead and didn't alter the EQ heavily. There's a lot of wonky EQ (by today's standards) on both albums. I supposed the door is open to make a more modern sounding mix with more substantial EQ changes and reverb reduction.

The "Please Please Me" album works MUCH better in these remixes because the loud background sounds on the vocal track acts as an effective second guitar track on it's own when spectrally isolated.

The problem with the "With The Beatles" album is that the vocal channel (and overdubs) was much more isolated from the instruments so there isn't as much background sounds to isolate.

I have "It Won't be Long" and "Roll Over Beethoven" below as a test. If you are putting the drums in the middle pretty much all you can move to the right is the bass guitar as a melodic counter to the left side. I probably WILL do the whole album eventually for myself just to have a more listenable version. I like the centered drums & vocals and sweeter EQ.

I hope and pray the next advancement in spectral/AI is pulling a part a double-tracked vocal into individual tracks.
