The Usenet Guide to Beatles Recording Variations

[recordroman]

It's around 33GB in total so I will leave it up for a couple of weeks, thereafter you will need to help one another. Corrections and suggestions for missed edits welcome.
Enjoy.

Thank you for sharing your Colossal effort Dial222, it certainly will be enjoyed!

Thanks for answering.
Could you answer this question more please?
The Stereo Mix of There's A Please that is on Version 2 of the LP Introducing The Beatles is sligytly wider stereo or not?

I'll be honest, my efforts were collecting the original listed tracks, not primarily identifying them. My DESS collection is on another drive so it would be an effort to pick out a rip to listen to. If you have them to hand i'd give them a go but... These 50 years old ears may still not detect it.

I just saw this information in the guide made by a forum member. My ears aren't very good in my 46 years of life, so I can't tell if this mix on Stereo is sligytly wider stereo.

All tracks -in both versions- of Introducing The Beatles are the same, in my guide (that I've already corrected) I was misleaded by DESS versions but listening and comparing 'honest' and 'untouched' versions of the albums they sound the same

Just asking, and if it can't be done, I understand. I can't download these as i live in a weak internet area of Wisconsin. Normally i download overnight, but i get timed out on these. If anyone can re-up on some other site, or in smaller pieces, id be happy.

If not, well, I'm cool with that, too. I appreciate what i AM able to download here.

Hi, Dial222.
Thank you for this set, it is absolutely fantastic and vast.

Goodness -- here I thought you had just updated the PDF (which Frank Daniels hasn't since before the Pepper deluxe came out). While I'm hoping someone does that so I don't have to, thank you for ALL this!

Hi, Dial222.

First of all, I just want to say thank you for this set, it is absolutely fantastic and vast.

Second of all, I can't open the 2nd file of the 1969 set (I've just downloaded the first two). Because of the .002 at the end of the file name, it converts to a different file. I have converted it to a .zip file, but it won't open in BitZipper because it's so big, and it won't open in 7-Zip because it's been converted. Can you upload the 1969 set in the .zip file format, please? Thanks.

It's a zip file that's been split between multiple files. You'll either need to combine them into 1 file or use an app that knows how to deal with multi-part zips. I use WinRar (just download all parts and then right click on the .001 file and click "Extract here".)

I had problems with it also for the 1969 folder. I then downloaded each ZIP files one by one in my main Download folder. Then I opened zip.001 and voila, it unzipped the whole kit perfectly.

If you download the whole Google drive folder it will zip the zips and do a mashup.

Is the 70+ folder the last one?
