I've been toying with a new extraction process and have made some interesting stereo mixes of previously mono tracks.

The first is the single of Help! in stereo. I did a version of this on Monolonger but it didn't work as well as this one. This has the same stereo picture as the album version. (UPDATE: this has been replaced with the full CTS version with the different intro)

Second up is Across The Universe. This has John's voice in the middle (without ADT), his guitar and Ringo's bass drum on the left, the tamboura on the right, and the backwards swarmandal and bass guitar from the mono "hums wild" mix in the centre. I've thrown out Lizzy Bravo or whatever her name is, and her God-awful singing!

I've heard a lot of people praise the Help! single, but it sounded blurry to my ears. Now everything is well defined and I can finally hear "what lies beneath." Thank you, sir!
