George Harrison - The Apple Years Box Set (Part Two)

I just checked this book from 1977 which claim's to have used the complete shooting script, and it in fact has scenes and text not included in the film. The screen play has Paul saying king mixer.

 

Isn't it Friar Park? Large Gothic -style window to left. The roof is neat.

 

Its 'King Mixer' !!

 

Any indication buyers of the box will get the hi-res download, too? If not, I'm happy to just cherry pick the CD titles I want to replace my LPs.

 

George preferred a "Cement Mixer";



Arnie

 

The script included in the old AHDN DVD also says "King Mixer".

 

I think he's just referring to George's officially released studio material. That doesn't preclude other releases of out takes, etc.

 

This box set looks beautiful. I was always planning on getting the box, but now even more so. I also only have Cloud Nine and George Harrison from the Dark Horse Years, so I'll be getting that box as well. I actually haven't even heard 33 1/3, Gone Troppo, or Somewhere In England. I hope the Dark Horse Years box gets a new 2014 mastering as well. I love the way they have been mastering all Apple CD releases since 2009, so it would be great to have all of George's albums get that same great sonic landscape.

I know many on here think LITMW sounds great as-is, and I agree, but when I compared "Give Me Love" to Giles' mastering on Let It Roll, I found the latter to be superior, thus telling me that LITMW can have an ever better mastering. Bring on all the sweet George content!

 

I don't think this is known yet, but is the sequencing for ATMP the same as the most recent remaster?

Why they didn't pair the (then) new bonus tracks with the 3rd LP of jams on CD#2 (with the entirety of LP's #1 & #2 on CD#1) is beyond me.

 

I believe that was George's call but I agree with you. The bonus tracks should follow the Apple Jam tracks on disc two.

 

Definitely.

 

No, Chip is right. Here's the Kinfauns window in question:

 

Question about ATMP:
As much as I love music, after a few days on this board (and I'm quite glad I stumbled upon it) I realize I can't really claim to be a true audiophile. I understand folks not being pleased with the track sequencing with the bonus stuff, as well as the colorization and other changes to the cover, but what is it about the sound that some of you don't like? I'll hang up and listen. Thanks.

 

I hope the reissue of the dark horse years comes in redone packaging to match the newer remasters.. Really looking forward to this

 

Did Mick and Marianne paint the whole wall, or just their names?

 

You and me both.

 

George did it..

 

The story I heard is only their names. They stopped by and George and Pattie weren't home and left their calling card.

 

I'll have to try that, when my friends aren't home!

 

It is a nice way of saying **** stirrer.

 

Thanks! I stand corrected. Definitely Kinfauns. Maybe the revamped Dark Horse box will be modeled on Friar Park. That would be oh-so-cool.

 

It would be so cool if they not only redid the packaging for and remastered the Dark Horse Years box to match the new Apple Years box, but also included the iTunes-only bonus tracks for those Dark Horse Years albums.

 

My wish list for the new Dark Horse box includes:

- new packaging matching the Apple Years
- new remastering matching the Apple Years
- inclusion of Brainwashed (in place of Live in Japan to keep things studio only?)
- inclusion of the three tracks from the Best of Dark Horse CD (Poor Little Girl, Cockamamie Business, Cheer Down)
- inclusion of the iTunes only bonus tracks

Lets see if any of these come true on Tuesday.

 

Boy, I'll have to buy this somehow!

 

We really need a new thread for the re-issued Dark Horse box. Do we know for sure this is coming? If so, when? There's been no official word on this, has there? Maybe it will come with the announcement on Tuesday about the Apple Years box. I'd be surprised if both box sets arrived on the same day (Sep. 23rd?) but who knows? Maybe the Dark Horse box will be announced as 'coming soon'.
