What's New in 2023 (FAB)

Post by 20YearsAgo »

Per request, here's the latest installment of FAB's "What's New" series.

This volume, for me, was a bit underwhelming. The first several tracks are all "essential," of course. And I'm sure we all have them. But there's a lot here that seemed inessential. I would've rather FAB had bunched together the highlights onto one disc. Or, if he really wanted to make this a two-disc set, package it alongside a Stowe disc.

As for the highlights... well, as usual, people on this forum created them. Not that FAB wants to credit anyone, unfortunately. My favorites are

-the vocal mix of "You Really Got A Hold On Me" (created by Mixerrog)
- "Ob La Di, Ob La Da (Distorted Guitar Bass)," and "Revolution (backing vocals)" (both from ToddS)
- and Khundalini's long stereo version of "Watching Rainbows."

FWIW, csnyfan created most of the REVOLVER-era tracks on this set. Mixerrog also is responsible for the two "This Boys." I'm almost positive the "Here There and Everywhere" rehearsals circulated here, too, (and it trader circles), but I can't figure out who shared them here. Also, does anyone know who did the "You Know My Name" separations? Somehow, those escaped my attention!

What do we know about Fab! Productions? Who are they?

They are clearly most recognized for their videos, first VHS, then DVD and now some BluRay. Judging by the scans that have been shared in various batches over the years, they have also released hundreds of Beatles and Solo CDs dating back to at least the early 2000s. That's probably as many titles as most labels and more than most.

Not intending to quibble about their sources or attribution of them, or the numerous typos that show up in their artwork, and certainly much of what they release is available in other releases, but it seems, as bootleggers go, their products are somewhat more professionally produced than most and might fill holes in many collections.

I know there have been efforts share batches of many labels on this forum, including Fab! videos, but I don't recall any for Fab! audio.

Does anyone have any information to share about Fab! Productions?

Thanks!

Thanks for the link. That's about as much info as I have seen about this label, with editorial opinion included, but again the listings are all video titles, not audio.
