    Compressing invidual stems does not mean the output signal will be compressed.

    How could it not? Where then are the dynamics? I have the "uncompressed" Pepper 50 vinyl, and while it's an improvement over the digital, it's still very loud.

    Fats was amazing. Anyone else attempting that song would have sucked. Fats, though, kicks it! :pineapple:

    It's all going to come down to Giles' vision on The Beatles.

    On 1 (and 1+), he was an originalist. He was targeting a sonically superior version of the hits, keeping their original feel intact. On Pepper, he had a mission: to make the stereo rock like the mono. He took liberties to accomplish that.

    Which Giles did the work on The Beatles? That's the most important question.

    Lets just hope fans of physical media and downloading get all the music demos and all. I want all fab fans old and new to be happy with this upcoming box set.

    Which isn't that far off from what some places charge for a double vinyl album today.

    I'm hoping the former. A sonically improved version.

    Yeah. I'd be :realmad: if just a two minute snippet of "Carnival Of Light" was released. I'm not too fussed on the 27 minute "Helter Skelter" unless it's more like the official version than the Anthology version

    Aside from saying in the 90s that he thought the White Album would be stronger as a single LP, how do we know he pushed heavily for it in 1968?

    I thought he told them point blank when they started working on the thing, "I don't want you to do a double album- let's pick the best songs and work on those": the "really super single album" statement. Again, if Martin was at all enthused by the project then why eventually tell Chris Thomas "I'm outta here- you're in charge!"? I'd be brazen to say that George Martin quit the sessions for much the same reason that Geoff Emerick did- he didn't dig the atmosphere; that he wasn't a fan of a lot of the material was probably secondary.

    Personally I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall during that massive twenty four hour marathon mixing/sequencing session that completed the sessions; I bet the discussions between John, Paul and Martin got pretty heated at times during that session. For example, Lennon was convinced "What's The New Mary Jane" was going to be on the album...I wonder how he took it when Paul and Big George told him it wouldn't be. I bet Martin was still pushing John and Paul to cut the album down to a single LP even during that session, but they clearly were having none of it.

    I would LOVE to know Martin’s envisioned tracklist and sequence for the single LP.
    THAT would be a cool alternative addition to the WA box!

    Wait until they start to market the anniversary edition with the "feels like like you're in the room with them" phrase...

    Who would want to be in that room with all the bickering and wrangling?! :)

    Ok, I didn’t know he was involved. The cd booklet says Miles Showell but maybe he was involved with the 5.1? I hope that his mastering is akin to what he did on Love and not the Sgt Pepper remix.

    I'm glad they didn't heed his advice. We'd have a lot of orphaned outtakes from it. 'Revolution #9' might possibly be making its debut release this year. I don't understand what Martin's point in making it a single album would be, when they've recorded enough material for a double. They hadn't released an album-album since Sgt. Pepper. Did Martin ever point-blank say that there were too may good songs for a single Lp, but not enough for a double? He does acknowledge in Anthology that some people consider it their best album. An important aspect of the album is that it is what they wanted - their album - even if it flew in the face of their long-time producer.

    Paul already did that very recently when he "teased" the re-release:
