Georges deadpan comment: "I think I'll be ...er' .. Leaving the band now."   Priceless! 

The video trailers released on YouTube are in fantastic quality. Even the audio recorded on 8mm film reels have been cleaned up.

Anybody bought the 50th Ann remix? Whats it like?

McCartney's coming out, you say?

No, Coming Up! 

Had to learn 'So What' by Pink for a new band I'm working with.

Not my cup of tea, but we rocked it up a lot and now I'm quite enjoying it.

Is there much difference between the RB45 and the RS66LDN?

They are are both nickel and same gauge, but one is a bit cheaper than the other.

I use a markbass cmd 121 300watt combo for smaller gigs.
It’s more than powerful enough for a loud drummer and guitarist.

there is an extension speaker available for even louder gigs.

I picked this up today. It sounds just lovely. It's clearer, yes, but ballsier too. Top job from Giles Martin, I doff my cap.

Phil Spectors wall of sound has been toned down. It is still there but not quite as over the top  as it was.

A lot of people are asking why are all these albums being remixed?

I dont mind.

You have to bear in mind that the the originals were mixed 50 odd years ago to be played on the equipment available at the time.

These days with more advanced technology, its great to hear them in high def.

These look quite interesting. 90 years of recording at Abbey Road. They are giving history lectures in the famous Beatles studio.

Hmm, bit pricey though

Tomorrow Never Knows - The Beatles.

Never mind one string, Its only one note! 

I have to take my hat off to The Geordie Bassist. He actually done this Jam song that I requested personally 😁

Agreed.

Weirdly, they haven't completely removed Spector's additions from the remixes, you can still hear the orchestra really low.

Wasnt it The Long & Winding Road that had the orchestra? 

Well, Here it is Beatle fans.

A brand new mix removing all of Phil Spectors sludge.

What do you think?

Another vote for Stairway To Kevin on Denmark Street.

There is also the Richmond Guitar Workshop. 

Run by the guys who used to work at Chandlers.

Richmond Guitar Workshop - Guitar repairs, luthiers, Richmond. London.

He must be talking about the original mix. 😁

I think it sounds fantastic.

I remember reading somewhere that Harrisons family tried to stop his youtube videos.

I got this remix yesterday. It is so much better with the wall of sound removed.

You can hear so much more that was buried under Spectors production.

Nice to hear the great Klaus Voorman drop a clanger at 2.01 which went unnoticed till I picked it up. 😊

So much more clarity in this remix,

 albeit a bit pricey for casual fans.

Apparently, Hearing aids wont help her because there has to be some hearing left to boost.

I'm 57 and have to wear hearing aids because I was young and stupid and took risks with my hearing with loud gigs and headphones.

Now reduced.

Great VFM strings....

Yes. They keep the brightness long after my Rotos have died. 👍

I will play what you want me to play. Or I won’t play at all if you don’t want me to play. Whatever it is that will please you I will do it. 
George Harrison 😁

A nice Japanese singalong 😄

At least the lyrics made more sense than Vienna. They meant nothing to me.
