Steve Hoffman site Beatles discussions?


One thing for sure, the Beatles remasters have generated a lot of discussion. Some of it I find quite interesting although there's not enough hours in the day to follow all the threads on Steve Hoffman's site. Mind boggling!

Has anyone tried to follow any of these?

I guess the 2009 remasters are fine.

Unless you have heard the originals.

The Beatles on CD are still awaiting the definitive treatment. Steve Hoffman would be the man.

Unfortunately Giles Martin has now got the gig. If only he understood archiving.

SH likes to work with original tapes from studio stock. Most of his work is good, there are a few bad ones to his credit. Most of us fans still do not have an explanation why the 2009 remasters were not on SACD?
Happy Listening!
jafant - well, since Neil Aspinall (the keeper of the flame) died in 2008 Apple have changed course and have been milking the cash cow. Very successfully too.

The high res definitive digital versions will be along anytime soon, give or take a decade. If the tapes can hold on until then. In the meantime one remix follows another. 

I wonder if Elvis fans have this authenticity problem? Is this just a Beatles thing? 






"In the meantime one remix follows another."

I'm only aware of two remixes--the tracks on the Yellow Sub redux and the recent Sgt. Pepper's.  Are there more?

Personally, I wish they'd remix everything that they still have the multitrack copies of.
