eBay 2015 Acetates

[yymca6]

Here's my notes on them:

1. Two Of Us – This is DDSI 24.69 – the same version that appears on the unreleased “Get Back” album, only here it's in mono. Marginal, at best.
2. All My Loving (released – mono)
3. And Your Bird Can Sing (released – mono)
4. She Said She Said (released – mono)
5. Thank You Girl (released – mono)
6. It Won't Be Long (released – stereo)
7. Your Mother Should Know (released – mono) Ironically, there
is an alternate acetate for this song – but this isn't it.
8. Tomorrow Never Knows (released, mono matrix 1 – mono)
9. Doctor Robert (released – mono, U.S. mix)
10. Eleanor Rigby (released – mono)
11. And Your Bird Can Sing – mono. This is the most interesting
acetate as we hear the entire take 10, unlike the released version, which is an edit of take 10 with the conclusion of take 6. Consequently, we get twenty-six seconds of a performance we've never heard before.
12. Taxman – mono. Also new is this alternate edit of “Taxman,” featuring a different loop at the end of the song.
13. Strawberry Fields Forever (released – mono)
14. I Need You (released – mono)
15. Baby It's You (released – mono)
16. Oh Darling (released – stereo)

Just such a shame we don't have them in better quality...it's not that they are mp3 it's the encoding rate...128 which is loooooooooow quality.

I have a bunch of acetates (17 in all) that I downloaded once in MP3 from a site that was probably legally harassed at some point and that now only has info on these acetates. I think it was this one https://www.beatlesource.com/bs/mains/index.html

Whatever, I downloaded all I could in MP3s then I added them to my iTunes collection and stupidly, deleted the MP3s... Nonetheless I still have the M4A files that I can send you, if you want them of course.

Thanks Yves. Are they the same ones as here? Is the encoding rate any higher?

It makes sense to me that the vendor would keep his rips of the acetates to lowish quality, it was a very fair way of letting potential buyers know what they are bidding for (he could have just posted edited samples) while reserving their full quality for the buyer.

Encoding rate 64k bits / 44 kHz.

Here is the content of the folder, the unopened folders only have the song mentioned in the folder's name.

They are clearly different and 64k is even worse quality so I would pass but others may be interested.

Hello, Yves!
That's a lotta lacquer!
Speaking for my own selfish aspirations...
I'd rather have-them than not-have-them.
Therefore, I will thank you, now, for the ever present desire to climb this Beatles mountain.
I don't really want to reach the top...but, if we do...
I'll be thanking you, ANYWAY!
You know the rest!

Thank you very much Skynet.

Not a wise decision to share them as flac

I also converted the M4as in FLAC for those who prefer FLAC. Note that these files are lossy, not lossless. [url]hxxps://we.tl/t-lYYb3riVyr[/url]
