It just came today and I love it, the sound is really good! But just wondering, are "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand" and "Lady Madonna" supposed to abruptly end and were they always like that? Just noticed this tonight
not sure what you mean by "abruptly end" by I know that "Lady Madonna" on there definitely ends basically identically to how it does on the 2009 mono and stereo CDs.
They faded LADY MADONNA on the 2009s, but not here. This is how the original single sounded with the cut off just before the end of the fade. It's the same "ends before the fade has finished" with GET BACK on MONO MASTERS LP and A HARD DAY'S NIGHT on that LP. There are a few more you'll encounter throughout the set as well.
I did. But with the added bonus that they saw fit to fade it before the "cut off" on the 2009 CD releases. So these are authentic and the 2009s are not. You know what we're like here!
Not on Mono Masters, but I just noticed the same thing with "A Hard Day's Night" (the song). Rather than fade all the way out, it cuts off at the very end. I never noticed that before - it fades completely on both the 1987 and 2009 CDs - but I checked my original United Artists vinyl, and it cuts off there as well. Now that's authenticity for you. I love it.
My only disappointment with the mono Revolver is Lennon's scream at the beginning seems put in the background. On the stereo version - IN YOUR FACE.
