Teasing the Korean Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Any talk of a volume 3 in the works? Christmastime is (nearly) here again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesbro Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) Any talk of a volume 3 in the works? Christmastime is (nearly) here again. Nope. Its probably not going to happen in this decade. The guy who pushed this project is no longer wokring at Capitol, IIRC. The UK remasters is what's brewing somewhere.

Teasing the Korean Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 This would only be Yesterday & Today & Revolver. Well, you could make a case for including "Hey Jude" and "Magical Mystery Tour," which was a US LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave9199 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 That's right, I forgot about Hey Jude. Since MMT has been released as a regular cd, I don't think they would include it. What would be the live album? And where was The Beatles' Story on Vol 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 What would be the live album? Beatles Live at the Hollywood Bowl, which was only released on Capitol, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 ...Since MMT has been released as a regular cd, I don't think they would include it. But it's currently only available in (bad) stereo on CD. They would also include the mono version, presumably, on the next capitol box. Actually, you can get all the tracks on CD in mono, but you would have to get the UK singles box and the UK ep box to put it together.

Quincy Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 You wouldn't want the American vinyl recreation of Magical Mystery Tour. In the vinyl days the one you wanted was the German, which was the only true stereo version. I understand they appeal of the early US albums with the reverb etc., but it'd be a waste of disc to give us a US MMT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 is it true that on the first two Capitol boxes they retained the bad reverb? I never bought 'em, and recently stocked up on good LP versions off of Ebay; German and Parlophone pressings that beat any CD single disc reissue, of course; but I have not heard those boxes - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 You wouldn't want the American vinyl recreation of Magical Mystery Tour. I'll take a US mono over a German stereo any day. Capitol's mono pressings sounded great, and the mono mixes for MMT were superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mono mixes are the reason to pick these up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capitol's mono pressings sounded great, and the mono mixes for MMT were superior. Oh yeah, the mono (sorry, you even mentioned mono in your post above.) I was just thinking of the US fake stereo. I usually prefer the mono mixes (especially for The Kinks) but with The White Album & MMT I prefer certain stereo mixes over the mono (& vice versa.) And with some songs I like part of the mono mix and part of the stereo, so my ideal version of a song would by a hybrid of both! Of all of the Beatles things to track down 25+ years ago the German MMT took the longest to find, so I tell myself that that's my favorite version, even if it isn't for all the songs.

Teasing the Korean Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) I agree that MMT is a mixed bag in stereo. A couple of the songs sound pretty bad in stereo, like "The Fool on the Hill." The ocarina is the loudest thing in the mix. "Penny Lane" sounds pretty good in stereo, though, as does "Hello Goodbye." The White Album is definitely better in stereo. In general though, aside from a few cases in which fold-down mixes were used, I think the US mono mastering had a depth, warmth and fullness that you don't find elsewhere.
