Using split vocals from the 2020 "Something New" album and the backing from the EP version, I present my approximation of the phantom RMx of Tell Me Why as heard in theatrical prints of A Hard Day's Night. My theory is that it was rough-mixed with full double-tracking like the stereo mix, then mixed with one half of the double-track this way, and then that mix was replicated but with the other half of the double-track (perhaps because the side used for the film was slightly contaminated; you can hear a lot more bleed-over from the other vocal track, especially in the middle 8. Hope you enjoy!

might get a kick from this, synced the audio to Tell Me Why concert scene edited to fit the full song.Bianju wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 4:56 pm Using split vocals from the 2020 "Something New" album and the backing from the EP version, I present my approximation of the phantom RMx of Tell Me Why as heard in theatrical prints of A Hard Day's Night.

Re: Tell Me Why (Film mix reconstruction)
Definitely got a kick out of this! I think it shows why this vocal was the one used for the film; it fits John's lip synching very well, certainly better than using the stereo double tracking.silver_2000 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 3:54 ammight get a kick from this, synced the audio to Tell Me Why concert scene edited to fit the full song.Bianju wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 4:56 pm Using split vocals from the 2020 "Something New" album and the backing from the EP version, I present my approximation of the phantom RMx of Tell Me Why as heard in theatrical prints of A Hard Day's Night.
