It happened with the snippet of "Great Balls of Fire" Jerry Lee Lewis performed in a medley on The Monkees 33 1/3 special. It was fine when the show was released on DVD over a decade ago but the publishers balked when the blu-ray came out a few years ago and it had to be edited out. Weird but absolutely true
Folks just want a nice Christmas present. There should be lots to like in the cd box/blu ray to appeal to most fans.
Take it from an ex-plane spotter you're hearing Rolls Royce Dart engines, turbo-props, as used on Vickers Viscounts back in 1968.
How do you make 3.65 out of 70 shillings? 1 shilling is 5p, so 70 X 5 is 350. Where did that extra 15p (3s) come from? Mark up, mistake, import duty or Alexpop Special tax?
That's interesting. I am imagining the somg without the plane now. Yes, the song would still work for me, but ... no. I admit I heard BITU for the first time when I must have been around 13 years, back then I loved the engine because it really flew from left to right etc. and I had never heard anyone do something like that before. Later I never questioned it, took it for granted. And now the remix. I was floored how musical the plane is, how much it drives the song forward. I would have never got rid of it before, but much less so even now with the new remix. It's an instrument. Anyway, thanks for the Mind Game.
I believe that this photo, of John singing from the floor, is always assigned to the recording of "Revolution 1". It is from the overdub of John's vocal. Brian Gibson (EMI technical engineer): "John decided he would feel more comfortable on the floor so I had to rig up a microphone which would be suspended on a boom above his mouth. It struck me as somewhat odd, a little eccentric, but they were always looking for a different sound; something new."
^^^It looks like Yoko (partially seen) is also laying on the floor too, at the very bottom of the photo. Heaven forbid that she just watch from a seat nearby. Nope, if John was laying on the floor, then she had to do the same thing. Week 1 of the White Album sessions definitely started out strange.
I haven't checked it myself, but as I said earlier I would think that those repeat edits before the last verse would be the giveaway. If those edits are absolutely identical in stereo and mono (and the general sound balance is the same) then a fold would seem likely (the original take - as heard on the Take 20 boot - doesn't have those 'stuttering' edited-in repeats on that E chord).
Possible. But again the edit could very well have been made in the mono mix as well. Or on the multitrack after the long take 20 was mixed. Edits on multitracks were done on Yesr Blues too so who knows.
It could be, but they wouldn't be precisely identical if so (and I think there are 3 repeats of the E chord?). (And I should have said after the last verse, not before).
Yes both in the case of a fold or an edit to the multitrack they’d be precisely the same. Which is why we cannot know for sure. If the edits are not identical then it tells what what we need to know ofcourse. But making a fold down would generate documentation i would imagine. It is after all still a sessions work for the engineer who did the supposed fold and EMI was great at documenting sessions. And that documentation we haven’t seen.
