Tell Me Why (Film mix reconstruction)

[Bianju]

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!

Thank you Bianju

[darod]

Thank you very much Bianju

also, it is a good thinking to replace the letter TT in HTTP by EL instead of XX

[Tex]

It could use some refinement (maybe audition multiple algorithms) but it's very interesting how different the other vocal is.

Thanks.

[Ronson]

Interesting. Thanks. That has to be the jazziest song The Beatles ever recorded (aside from "You Know My Name").

[Alessandro Rocchi]

Thank you very much, Bianju!

This remix is very interesting. One of my favorite songs from 1964, too! Thanx!

might get a kick from this, synced the audio to Tell Me Why concert scene edited to fit the full song.

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.
