Time to present them again (in stereo)!

Many versions have already been presented here (Lord Reith, paul62 and others, including myself).
My fingers were itching to try again.

The last audio source I used was Yellow Dog, but it was a poor choice.

Ah, but I only posted a few tracks that were experimental in nature...!!!

I don't think any mix (or remix), whether it is done by a well-paid professional or by a hard-working amateur, can ever be considered the only one worth having. They are all equally valid.

Still working on my stereo version of Yellow Dog YD061 (and I have a cool cover prepared by unwantedman to go with it), so don't write me off just yet...!!!

(I remember you had trouble logging in at my board when you joined up: you really should try again (PM me if you are still having trouble)).

I do it for fun and primarily for myself. there is no competition. I'm looking forward to your version.

Those are my sentiments and attitude, as well: a remixer has to get pleasure from doing the job and not rely upon strangers on a message board to give the efforts made some kind of approval or validation.

I'll send you my board address (and I hope to see you there!!).

Excellent!!! Thanks!!!

I'll be honest with you and tell you that I haven't yet listened to your version, but I will do so once I have finished mine (the truth is, I don't want to be influenced, somehow, by other stereo versions when I work on mine, you see ). Seeing as you've done your second stereo remix, you are not in that same situation!! At any rate, I thought I'd share this one with you (and visitors to the thread): every element was thoroughly overhauled, every drop of juice was squeezed out of this lemon until my fingers became cramped...!!!

03 Till There Was You (YD061 rebuilt into stereo by paul62)

Great job, looking forward to the other tracks.

Thank you !

Great !!!! Thanks !

Thank you Khundalini for sharing your excellent work !

Paul, thanks a lot for your Till There Was You - it sounds more like an EMI recording than a Decca (beautiful register throughout and especially the bass, and the stereo is great). Khundalini's tracks sound more rough, like at Decca, a live recording that hasn't the full spectrum. And the vocal on Money is a bit low there.
Anyway, thanks to both of you and Paul, I'm really looking forward to your set.
Robert

Thanks for listening, fellow beatles-peoples.

Robert, thank you very much for your detailed feedback: fixing up "TTWY" was a lot of work and what I've done with that track more or less sets the template for what I'll do with the other fourteen tracks.
