beatles mono vs stereo

Yeah well it's took me a year to sort this out, I'm terrible with anything that requires a bit of thinking or patience, like today I learnt the F major chord, before I just looked at it & thought that looks difficult so wouldn't attempt to play anything that included it Still a cunt though, i swear I must have tiny fingers because it really shouldn't be that hard.

I don't think I've ever heard It's All Too Much, at least I don't remember the song at all. Is pretty sweet.

Same goes for You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) though I don't think I'll ever want to hear it again

I hadn't heard it before I got the remasters either, must've been the only Beatles song I didn't know as I'd even had You Know My Name (Look up the Number) on my computer for a while. I was obsessed with It's All Too Much for a couple of days, such a great groove but it's completely repetitive after the first 30 seconds and the novelty soon wore off.

I became a social recluse when the remasters leaked, I must've spent a good most of my nights off work for about 3 weeks getting the beers in, listening to these and reading Revolution in the Head/the Lewisohn notes alongside them until I knew all the tunes inside out. Worth it though.

Kinda strange hearing a 'new' beatles song, was like when I finally listened to the complete stone roses & discovered All Across The Sands, I'd had the cd for a good few years & never listened to it properly because it was such a shit compilation, that was a beautiful day.

If you're getting into the Beatles properly Karl, I can't recommend getting Revolution in the Head strongly enough. I picked a copy up for £3 about this time last year, there's a lot of really interesting stuff on the songs and the recordings, even if it does get a bit Krburg at times.

Cheers for the heads up though I won't buy it, I have tons of music related books none of which I've ever got past about page 10 minus SLASH's autobiography. Also,I laugh in the face of people like Krburg who knows what amp they used for what song, GEEKS I ain't even got a clue which Beatle is singing on half the tracks & I hope it stays that way forever.

not reading/don't care!

how can you not hear a beatles song and know whos singing it from the voice?

I probably can though who sings it is of no interest to me.

slippery slope karl, accepting pink floyd, not being sufficiently interested in the beatles. what next? Led zep?

Rod, if you can find a copy because I think its out of print now ( i have a downloaded version that I printed off) the book 'The Beatles Recording Sessions - The official Abbey Road Studio Session Notes' by Mark Lewishon is also a must read, here is an excerpt from Monday the 14th April 1969, studio 3, 2.30-9pm, recording 'The Ballad Of John & Yoko'...

As a recording the 'The Ballad Of John & Yoko' represented highly efficiant use of the studio and the 8 track facility, indeed, the sessionfinished one hour ahead of the booked time. Concentrating first on perfecting the basic rhythm track, John & Paul recorded 11 takes of simultaneous drums (Paul) and acoustic guitar/lead vocal (John) A study of the original session tape provides an amusing insight into the session and clearly reveals that despite the wranglings, arguments and bitter business squabbles so widely reported of them in 1969, John Lennon & Paul McCartneys great talent, humour, musical understanding and togetherness shone through from start to finish. Five of those 11 takes broke down in exactly the same spot, Paul erroneously adding an extra snare drum fill before the line 'Made a lightning trip to Vienna', take two broke down because, as John explained 'Un string avec caput , Mal! And there was one lovely moment, before take four when John said to the drumming Paul 'Go a bit faster Ringo! and Paul replied to the guitar weilding John 'Ok George!'

lovely..

The entire thing is extremely in depth and well worth a read

had led zep 4 on earlier in the week

get stuart cable's book.

i read it in a day. ;D

Yeah Kev, as I mentioned earlier in the thread I read them alongside the Ian Macdonald book. Some interesting stuff, and it's amazing just how prolific they were in the studio. You wouldn't get that with The Wynd anyway.

The one Beatles book I really want to read but haven't been able to get hold of is Barry Miles' biography of McCartney.
