Beatles remastering: question for Steve

But all I was going to do was call my buddy Steve over for a tweak or two.

 

Once more:

The decision isn't just up to EMI. A lot of different people have to agree. If just *one* says "no", the whole deal is off.

We don't know how all of the parties feel about Steve working on the catalog. The only person who even comes close is Steve, and even he may not know exactly what the story is/was. Whatever the case, it seems as if he doesn't want to address the issue any more, and all of this speculation isn't getting anyone any closer to remastered Beatles.

 

I didn't know that Yoko had changed her name to "hurdles"!

 

The "Torture Thread: The Greatest Releases That Should Have Been...." led me to this thread....


Feel free not to answer, Steve, but...

mono, stereo or both!?

Curiosity getting the better of me, again.



Best wishes,



Nobby

 

Bugger!


As we say in England.

 

Mono & Stereo?

 

Wow. I missed this thread the first time around.

Though i almost wish that I never read it at all. Now I'm depressed.

 

Some things are better left unknown.

mud-

 

Steve,

This should have happened....very, very unfortunate. I can visualize the wonderful results.

I sure wish that all of us here could pool our resources, abilities and talents in order to have you re-master the entire Beatles catalog....

Bob

 

Wait until April 1 of next year.

 

Steve,


I feel as though I'm kicking a man where I shouldn't by asking more questions, but...

What year were the "discussions"?

And do you think the original stereos of the first six will ever come out?

Or indeed, the monos of "Help" through to "White"?

I know the people at EMI are in a difficult position with all that goes on at Apple, but they have backtracked on a couple of things...

eg. The Red CD had the stereo field of Can't Buy Me Love reduced, but it's back "wide" on "1" (whatever you might think of it's mastering!)

So the story goes when the original vinyl EP box came out, a call came through from Abbey Road that the stereo mix of She's A Woman had been located, but it had a count in at the beginning.

The person in charge of the project said "Leave it in - it'll please some people out there".





Cheers,



Nobby

 

Can the Webmaster close this thread? It is much too depressing. Especially since I know that Steve would have used the correct mono dry mix of "Please Please Me" and "Ask Me Why" for the first time ever.

This thread hurts.

 

Angel,

More salt in the wound.

John

 

Just pass me the tissues.....

 

Yeah, this really is a crying shame!

 

Steve, you warned us!
So, now we know.
And each & everyone of us wants to kick ourselves in the head.

However, if it "almost" happen once, it may happen again.

The glass is half full.

 

Those would have sold an INCREDIBLE amount of copies!! DCC would have been saved! UGH! ARG! RRRRRR....

 

Steve, I don't know if it means a damn thing to you to hear our condolences, but this ****ing sucks. Sorry this didn't work out. I would have bought all of the best and sold the rest.

 

Never say never

 

After the sucess of the Stones remaster... I'm sure EMI will do the Beatles backkatalog soon! They can make sooooo much profit...
