The Beatles Revolver

It has been said for years that the mono version of Sgt Pepper was far better than the stereo version because George Martin focused most of his time on the mono version and very little time afterwards on the stereo version and this was the case on all of the Beatles albums through Pepper. I have both versions on early releases and while I didn’t think the stereo version was terrible I did enjoy the mono version more. I can also say this about most of their earlier albums where I prefer the mono releases.

The only Giles remix that I have purchased so far is Sgt Pepper and I have to say that I think he did a great on the remix and it is for more engaging than the original stereo version. So bravo!

I will be ordering the Giles remix of Revolver but mainly because I only have the original stereo version that was released in the US on Capitol and it does not include three Lennon compositions that were on the UK release. I believe they were released on Yesterday and Today in the US. Regardless, looking forward to Giles Revolver in stereo and hoping he dd as good a job on this as he did with Sgt Pepper.

I've got mine on order. I prefer the Beatles music in stereo except for the early ones where all the vocals are in one channel..... 

I do remember the same opinions when "Let it be - Naked" was released.

It's the same with all art work. Alternative versions do have a place for those who want to explore them and if they like them play them more. I really don't see an issue here. And of course its about making money but if someone feels so strongly about the original version they don't have to part with their money. The original Revolver on vinyl can be found very easily for a few dollars! 

Something New? Because? You Can’t Do That! Let it Be!  Tomorrow Never Knows…. Help!

I thought Giles’ “White Album” sounded great. Totally cool if someone owns an OG UK vinyl, or is willing to pay huge $ for it, but this would be another, totally sensible option to me.

At the point technology is now, not sure what’s so heretical by these gimmicks they’re tossing into their promotional speech (I say ‘gimmick’ in regards to marketing language, not the actual process of AI audio separation)

Is what they’re doing here so much mote intrusively futzy than other modern remasterings? They’re probably tossing in all the tech-y speech to garner public interest to make the release more commercially viable.
