I was stupidly unaware this existed until now...I guess CDS's security isn't impenetrable. Obviously, the very idea of listening to a surround-sound extraveganza via a decent audience tape is a bit suspect, but it does give me a better idea as to what exactly this hated production is all about. Here, for example, is the "Drive My Car" medley

Four samples here:

I think Pete Townshend summed it up nicely in the opening lines to 5:15.

"I know because it is impossible for a tape to hold the compression levels of these treble boosted MFSL's like Something/Anything. The metal particulate on the tape would shatter and all you'd hear is distortion if even that." - VD
Jesus, "Strawberry Fields Forever" incorporates the take 1 backing vocals (the ones that were left off Anthology). The transition into the Take 25 vocals is also astoundingly abrupt.
"Octopus's Garden" features some of the most blatant speed-processing I've ever heard on Ringo's vocal. It's good to know that the supposedly pro-quality tools at the Martins' disposal aren't that far above what's possible with Audition.

It's kinda like the Reel Music melody right, except not done as well but outtakes are utlized.
It's good for the really surface music listeners. The ones who don't know jack shit about the Beatles besides the most played hits or the #1s CD. This can be their introduction to the rest of the catalog.
I mean really, there are a lot of young people out there who are clueless about good classic rock albums or singles. And this show might turn them on a bit to the deeper cuts.
I've worked with some of these types, even in the music industry there are people who have no clue about much more than Hey Jude and Yesterday. They need their own way to explore the 15 odd albums worth of tunes. An over view sort of. This might be the way people brought up on MTV can get into it fast and easy.

Finally got to listen to these without constant network issues. What's the deal with the strings on WMGGW?
SFF works much better than Octopus' Garden or Lady Madonna, but it still feels forced. Especially the stuff at the end. I know they did a lot of stuff "just because they could" back in the day, but this feels really, really forced. I mean, I know they liked Harry Nilsson, but this seems to be going a bit far...

FWIW, the entire thing's out. It gives a different impression than did the sampler; I didn't realize, for example, that most of the tracks segued. Lots of the songs *do* play straight through, though I'm now suspicious that some of the stereo remixes might just be the Anthology versions...
