The Beatles 1 and 1+

Because when I'm listening in 2028, I don't want to think "geez, that sounds so 2017..."

 

If it was not a mistake, but a decision that he stands by, then why the cringing?

 

It's The Beatle$. You'll have dutifully purchased and then angrily criticized at least two more versions by then.

On the bright side, the original stereo mix will be even more dead and buried even deeper by 2028.

 

Didn't think we'd need a discussion of the hermeneutics of cringing, but . . . people can cringe for various reasons, including, for example, the anticipation of being harshly criticized by others. Doesn't necessarily mean that the cringer thinks they made a mistake.

 

I'd much rather discuss the Hermeneutics of Cringing than the Politics of Dancing...

 

This thread is making me lose the will to live, I'm out.

 

Not necessarily, I mean sure, LOVE is a "wild" because it's a mash-up (of which I wouldn't mind having volume 2 or something), but just a few days ago I saw this page from 2007, which says:

 

Hey, I'm not one of those constant complainers. [Although I am a firm defender of the original stereo Rubber Soul mixes.]

I'm all for being able to hear alternatives.

My complaint is when the original is taken away....

 

Me too.

 

Sorry for my part in the strange detour about how much Giles did or didn't contribute to the LOVE mixes and mashups. As far as I'm concerned we can go back to talking about 1+. I'm neither a Giles loyalist or a hater -- I actually like most of his mixes, but am concerned at how they are getting increasingly artificially loud and compressed over the past decade. I need to replace my ancient turntable before I can experience this, but I'm looking forward to what should be the best of both worlds in the Pepper remix LP -- a good, modern remix by Giles, but not squashed like the CD was. Carry on, folks.

 

Our difference in opinion is a difference of perception. I’ve worked in the modern world long enough to know those with titles aren’t those that do the actual work.

The evidence you demand has already been discussed - indeed, it’s what made me doubt Giles’ substantial participation in the first place.

 

Well, what do I know? Apparently I don't work in the "modern world." I think this little sideshow has played itself out. You win, if that helps.
