Thanks,
Thom


No. The FAME CDs are different masterings than the 93 series which were remastered by Peter Mew.

The Anthology DVDs were largely a fluke...had they tried marketing 'em at the original price (which I'm sure they considered), it would've fallen through the floor. Indeed, I remember going into Wal-Mart shortly after the release and laughing at the $65.99 price sticker. A few days later it was dow...

The attitude of a lot of people (esp. those at Abbeyrd, seemingly) is that we should gladly take what Apple gives us. I do not agree with this sentiment. Apple, thankfully, doesn't *need* to give us those takes, as we already have them. It could, but I'm not holding my breath. I mean, honestly, do ...

No, the wildlife version runs a bit fast. The bootleg versions (of which we have two...the old "Hums Wild" mix and the newer version which surfaced on the Barrett tapes) is at the correct speed, allegedly. Thanks for the clarification. Now if Apple would only give us one of those versions as oppose...

I'm confused about Across The Universe though. Does mean that they'll also normalize the track speed again since Spector slowed it down? I'm curious about that myself. Is the "wildlife" version normal speed, or is it actually sped up? Ryan According to the "Beatles Recording Sessions," John re-reco...

This gets stranger and stranger.

Dig A Pony Rooftop performance, same as the original rele...

There's some satisfaction and irony, in that, somehow.


Paul's a pretty smooth business man.

I'm sure he's figured out some way to collect on used profits. :roll:

Sweet Bleedin' Jeebus! $23 list for a 35-minute album of differently mixed previously released material, plus a 22-minute "bonus disc" of what sounds like noodling and jamming (though it might be interesting). http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000DJZA5/qid=1065389031/sr=8-3/ref=sr_8_3...

Macca probably isn't listening to shit. I would be surprised if he has any idea of the actual demand for this sort of thing, and what form would be preferred. Unless the material ends up being really stellar, this might be a disaster. Say what you will about Yoko, she's been far nicer to fans of he...

I know that there's a mention of an "Imagine" run through in the day by day book. It's probably on the Nagra reels. I can't recall ever seeing it booted anywhere though.

I'm sure it's probably about the money, being able to price it as a two disc set when everything would fit on one disc, but I don't necessarily see anything wrong with using two discs to separate different material. I've always felt that's what a healthy dose of silence is good for. If I'm making a...

I always thought that the Police box was OK, but the SACDs are pretty great. An upgrade as far as I'm concerned. When you say you sold yours, do you mean the box or the SACDs? Ryan I think the Padgham stuff on the box sounds great, but the SACDs are definitely an upgrade like you said. I'm not Patr...

Leave it to the Beatles to give us a 57-minute two-disc set.

Wandering a little OT: How do the Police SACDs compare to the Message in a Box set? I sold mine not long ago, cause I was never happy with them. I've only got the "Every Breath You Take" singles comp but I think the 2-ch SACD sounds superior to the box. The multi doesn't sound all that bad either. ...
