    Paul Hicks is the man. I really like his Beatles-related remixes.

    No. He leaves all that stuff to Paul.

    That's a shame. Even if it was a short word from Ringo, it would be nice to have "letters" from Paul and Ringo in the WA book intro.

    richierichie My glass is always full.

    Regarding those who don`t like a remix or remaster of a certain album. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I have hundreds of the bloody things, remixes/remasters, luckily I enjoy 90% of them but we can`t all be pleased all of the time.

    What I disagree with is the vehemence that some have given to certain releases and making insulting and personal comments regarding the `perpetrator`. This I find to be totally out of order.

    This has especially riled me where Giles Martin is concerned. Already people on this forum are criticizing the WA 50 remix and this is without hearing it. I don`t know about others but I find these unwarranted comments extremely dispiriting.

    To my knowledge there are a few of you on here with great knowledge of the recording/remixing/remastering process involved with projects such as The WA 50, especially our host. There are also many on here without any knowledge of these processes, problem is they think they know. All I say is go ahead and dislike something but leave your vitriol where it belongs and that`s not here.

    I`m looking forward to this release as I did Sgt Pepper. I am very happy with the stereo remix of Pepper and prefer it to the original Pepper stereo which I have lived with for 51 years. However my preference is the original Pepper mono (UK 1st pressing). I was disappointed with the Pepper 5:1 mix, in my opinion it was way too conservative but after playing it a few times I have started to enjoy it. I really hope GM is more adventurous with The White Album. I have not listened to any of the material from this release, nor will I until I get to play all the CDs, BDs and 4LP set. Then for what it`s worth I`ll give my opinion. BUT I will never make personal comments about GM who I respect as a proffesional in a line of work I wish I was more knowledeable about.

    At this moment I`m having a good cussing, as our Colonial cousins say, to myself or Udiscover and now Amazon due to their failure to deliver the Imagine box which I know is great. Rant over. :cool:

    I would KILL for a “raw studio mix” of that album.

    Ringo is constantly writing letters to people. No one knows they're from him though. He never signs his name. ;)

    I've always liked George's Piggies.
    I'm reading info about the song on Wikipedia:


    While I agree with the first part of the sentence, I don't get this:
    What 'subtlety'? Maybe George should be 'politically correct' in this song?
    I think he was straight-forward in this nice track - and I remember that Macca once told that George says directly what he thinks.

    Piggies start with George singing in normal voice - it sounds like he's telling a story to kids: Have you seen little piggies...
    Then, as the song progresses, his vocal gets louder (what they need is damn good whacking!), and in the end, we have the whole choir, singing very loud (or even angry) about piggies having a dinner with their piggie-wives.
    Spoiler alert: they eat bacon.

    'Politically correct' song would be something like this:
    'Everywhere there's lot of CEO's, executives and alikes
    You can see them out for dinner with their perfumed wives;
    They drink drinks
    And eat fine, methinks...'


    So... What you get from polit-correct lyrics? It looses all the sharpness of George's original.

    Like BuCo I could not see it either,
    I did a right-click on the bad img and opened it in a new tab,
    copied it and pasted it here

    What you're positing isn't political correctness, exactly. I'd call it lack of poetry -- literalism. He may have been taking a page from Orwell's Animal Farm, too. It's satire, if anything, and I would think that people criticizing the lyric are missing the point.

    Could anyone confirm if Junk on Anthology 3 is an Esher Demo ?

    It says so in the booklet that came with the CD

    not to mention a sense of humor and familiarity with the long tradition of barbed political satire.

    I wonder if you play the remixed vinyl backwards if there will be any hidden messages?

    How do you know he was singing about CEO's?
    Maybe he was singing about SHF participants. :D
    His song is much better as it is...because we don't know exactly whom he IS singing about. As John Lennon said, we can each ascribe whatever we want to the lyrics and make it real for us. That doesn't mean that the author necessarily wrote it about who we are thinking of. Remember the hippie guy on John's front lawn who thought Carry that Weight was written about him?

    I don't think anything is "brickwalled" - it's just a new "flat" transfer.
