Mike I love your channel I watch it all the time. I've been doing a McCartney tribute since my 20s and i'm 58 now so I especially dig your Beatles and Paul segments. We have the same views on everything I've ever heard you say on your shows, and I was blown away by the Uriah Heep show! I love them and not alot of people I know have even heard of them..amazing! Keep 'em coming and peace, love and understanding.

we forget that in those days people usually did not listen to music on headphones. thus the ping pong stereo was not as odd to listen to. plus a lot of people didnt have their speakers very far apart - think of those portable turn tables with their detachable (paper cone) speakers and rather short cables. a lot of 1960s music was stereo-mixed that way: bass on one side, horns on the other etc.

The original engineering and production on Abbey Road was sublime, helped by the all new transistorised desk in studio 2. It was only ever mixed in stereo, so I agree it didn't really warrant a remix but of course that wouldn't stop them wanting to make a new product for us to buy.

I really have to get some of these remixed records. Great show O Tribemeister

Not being anything more than a casual listener, I find your comments very instructive. Nevertheless all these remixes give me the same feeling as I got with the introduction of the CD with everyone going on about not hearing any scratch. I grew up with the imperfect version, which I loved, so it is hard to really care to much about any other version. Great video again, Michael, with a lot of food for thought!

Excellent video again. As a musician I understand a lot of what you’re talking about with mixing. Haven’t heard Revolver yet getting it for Christmas from my beautiful wife. Funny I had the pleasure of talking to Geoff Emmerick about a lot of the studio stuff. I met him in Vegas where he was doing the Cheap Trick doing Sgt. Peppers show. He was very kind with his time & very humble. I agree with your assessment of these remixes.

Excellent!

Let it Be Naked is much better than the original

I like my original Beatles albums. I love listening to vintage records. Good video. I like what you said about record companies erasing history.

Hey Michael, another great topic! I'm really enjoying these!!! Here's my ranking from worst to best: 5. Abbey Road (original mix was great - only improvement was centering lead vocal in "Here Comes The Sun".) 4. Let It Be 3. White Album (main issue - adding ADT to vocals in some songs, eg. "Savoy Truffle".) 2. Revolver (far better than original mix - but with the new source separation technology they could have taken it further eg. separating guitars in dual guitar songs.) 1. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band ( i think what they have done is brilliant.) I hope they go further with the remixes when they do the other early albums. And when they do M Mystery Tour, i hope they add 1 or 2 instrumental pieces to the soundtrack side & "You Know My Name" (1967 recording) to the B side. Tiger.

Michael - did you do a review when the Abbey Road remix debuted three years ago? If so could you link it. I am curious to hear the differences you noticed from the original mix. Thanks, love this channel! You have a lot of great insights.

Hi Michael! Love this! Love your channel! I love the "Sgt. Pepper's" Remix deluxe set. Received it on June 1st 2017. It's excellent! The 5.1 Mix is amazing. I think "Abbey Road" is good. There's some extra "Come Together" phrases in the remix. The medley is nice sounding too. "The Beatles" remix was very surprising in a good way. Some nuances in "Don't Pass Me By". 5.1 mix in that is top notch for me. "Let it Be" I dig (or "Dig It"). Heard the remix, yet to hear the 5.1. Although "Revolver" I believe is their best (and my favorite) album, I didn't get it. It didn't sound right to me. No 5.1 either which was disappointing. Giles completely stripped down "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "She Said, She Said". I'll stick with the original LPs with that one 😊Keep up the good work. How can I promote your channel on my channel?

I just got the remixes for Revolver and Pepper for Christmas, and they are both wonderful. The only problem I have with the Pepper mix is the sped up She's Leaving Home. I personally prefer the slower version, and I think the original mix was good as is. Also in terms of the Abbey Road mix, I do think some changing was needed. I think most of the mixes on the album were good, but some of the panning on songs like You Never Give Me Your Money needed tweaking. While I don't believe they handled the mixes the best, I do think they could have improved upon the original album if less tampering had been done to the artists original purpose. Great video!

The White album is my favorite Beatles album and my favorite reissue/remix Beatles album, love it !

It's pronounced as the 'J' for the G. Jiles. I love his work on all he's done.

Hello. RS is also my favourite album.

These remixes have definitely been a mixed bag. Every time one drops, there's the usual ranting and raving that greets each one. I get the box sets primarily for the demos and books. I also don't mind the existence of alternate remixes, as long as there is no concerted effort to replace the originals (which has always been my problem with what George Lucas did with his embarrassing Special Editions of the original Star Wars trilogy - he pretty much buried access to the originals and that is the worst possible crime against art). As you know, I wholeheartedly agree about the new Revolver remix. Excellent and a good sign for things to come. The deluxe White Album, as a whole, was the best release overall due to those amazing Esher demos. Great video as always, Michael!

Let It Be Naked sounds better produced as a proper album without the chatter, false starts & stops than Let It Be. The Giles Martin (as Phil Spector's) remix is not as coherent or cohesive, more a live jam with orchestral overdubs which always bugged McCartney.

Enjoyed this survey and your detailed comments, especially regarding REVOLVER and SGT. PEPPER'S. I prefer the Mono mixes to most of the stereo mixes of the Beatles, especially the pre-PEPPER albums as they were mixed with the band present. The 2009 stereo version of REVOLVER still sounds lopsided, especially on headphones (as you mentioned). I agree that the recent ABBEY ROAD remix was both unnecessary and heavy-handed. When someone starts messing with the established soundstage of an iconic album, there's going to be trouble. I also agree that the "White Album" probably had much to gain, both from a remix and archival standpoint. However, you seemed to gloss over the recent LET IT BE remix, speaking more about the previous ...NAKED release. As someone who preferred the warmth of the original LET IT BE vinyl album to the 2009 stereo release on CD, I was interested in hearing your impressions of this most recent remix. What is it about that version that ranked such a mediocre mark? Great job, Michael. I look forward to your content in 2023! All the best!

Hi Michael. Fabulous video, how do you compare the Yellow Submarine Songtrack album and Let It Be...Naked album?

@ Michael Noland: The Bottom Line For Sgt Pepper, White Album, Abbey Road, Let It Be and Revolver, I like both their 2009 stereo remastered versions and as well as their 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 remixed versions.

I have limited resources on Social Security. I took your advice & bought the box set of Revolver. I bought the 3 CD set of the White Album for the Esher demos & the Giles Martin remix. I also bought the 2 CD set of Sgt. Pepper for the re-mix & "Strawberry Fields Forever" & "Penny Lane" on the second CD. I think Abbey Road 2009 is perfect just as it is. I have the 2009 Let It Be & Let It Be...Naked. Thanks for your review. It helped me save money. BTW Giles is pronounced Jiles.

Your comment about stereo being looked at as a gimmick reminded me of a question I wanted to ask you. A few days ago, I was going through my 60 plus Elvis albums my mom had left me when she passed away in 2021. A lot of these are really old albums. In fact all of them are really old but some appear to have come from the late '50s and early '60s. Anyhow, I was looking for some of the Elvis Christmas albums she had so that I could listen to them since it's Christmas time. And one of them had a Special Notice on the back cover near the right bottom. It was about a new Orthophonic High Fidelity pressing this album was supposed to be in. When I saw that it kind of cracked me up because it said you don't have to worry about this becoming an outdated technology or something to that effect. I wish I could just post the picture I took of it in this reply. Anyway it was trying to assure people that they wouldn't be wasting their time or money on this orthophonic record. I've not even heard of an orthophonic record. What in the world is that? I was thinking this was a 1962 stereo pressing of Elvis at first but then I realized it was mono. So it was before stereo was even getting used at least regularly. I haven't researched it myself yet but I was wondering if you might have a quick answer as to what an orthophonic high fidelity LP is? I can tell you it didn't sound as hi+fi has the 1971 Elvis Christmas album did haha. BTW, I really enjoyed your video. I have thought that all of the remixes we're going to all be horrible after hearing the Abbey Road and Let It Be recent mixes. I don't have the other ones yet so I'm looking forward to finally getting the White Album and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band! Merry Christmas Michael and I hope you have a Happy New Year as well! 🎄 Brian in Fort Worth 🎶

How did I miss this?

Out of curiosity I am not trained in this field just curious but what does the future look like for sound and mixing? You said that stereo was thought to be a fad and it makes me wonder what fad we might have right now.

Great ranking ….Abbey Road didn’t need any tweaking as it was a perfect sounding record since they got it right b6 1969. The White Album was great for the bonus content and Revolver and Pepper needed the most remixing and Giles nailed it. Thanks for sharing these great videos!

I like the remix of Revolver though some of the tracks tend to sound a bit too sterile/revealing IMHO, especially She Said, She Said.

I think Rubber Soul is next, but actually, "Please Please Me" will turn 60 this year! If I had a decision on these things, I would not miss the chance of making a super deluxe remix and edition of the very first one in its anniversary.

The 2009 remasters are superior. Compare she said she said from 2009 and the 2022 mix Yesterday I was listening to sgt pepper the Giles Martin remix and noticed something during a really cool song I've always liked, good morning. At 1:16 George Harrison's really cool guitar part comes in and a few seconds later it fizzles out in a really cool fuzzy distorted way on the 2009 version. You hear this from the left earphone. I noticed yesterday the the Giles Martin remix the awesome fussy fade out of this guitar part isn't as clear and it's on the right side speaker, his fuzzy fade out happens at 1:28 just for reference. Guitar part starts at 1:16 and fuzzy fade out starts at 1:28

My ratings of the remixes: Revolver (2022 Mix) - 8/10 -Could've been better with low-ends and panning on all tracks -Didn't like the remix of She Said, She Said with lack of cymbals -Didn't like the panning on Yellow Submarine compared to the 2015 mix of it which is better -Wish the drums and guitar were more prominent on Here, There, and Everywhere -Didn't like the panning of the effects on Tomorrow Never Knows -Taxman's guitar could have been a bit louder Sgt. Pepper (2017 Mix) - 10/10 -Great remix -Love the low-end sounds on all tracks The White Album (2018 Mix) - 9/10 -I wish Helter Skelter sounded grittier Abbey Road (2019 Mix) - 10/10 -The remix gave more clarity to the tracks -Here Comes the Sun and Oh! Darling have better stereo placings now -The End sounds better Let It Be (2021 Mix) - 9.5/10 -I wish One After 909 had a wider stereo mix

On The Beatles "1" Deluxe from 2015, "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love" on the dvd are both not only remixed but especially on "Real Love", there are more parts heard (extra guitar parts really predominant). The keyboard on "Real Love" has been really beefed up right in the intro.

Agree with Revolver being best. I’m not sure why so many KZreadrs are so critical! I love “Guyles”😂

I agree with everything for the reasons you stated. Abbey Road didn't need a rebuild. Neither did Let It Be as I figure Spector's version was a good as anything for what it is but Spector fumbled badly by leaving Don't Let Me Down off. Pepper and Revolver are so new and sparkling stereo versions of the mono albums. Love them White album? Love it except for one niggling thing that bugs the heck out of me: the chaos was mixed out of Helter Skelter. Chaos was what that song was all about and it had been neutered and made to sound polite. Ringo's moment where he explains about the blisters,,,, hardly audible. I give a HARD FAIL to Helter Skelter.

Agree re "Helter Skelter". Right from the get-go, Giles and Sam Okell took that fantastic jagged guitar chord progression in the intro not only down in the mix but seemed to have EQ'd the EDGE right out making it too soft.

I personally felt the White Album remix buried some instruments that stood out in the original, and unburied some elements - particularly background vocals - that didn't deserve the prominence they now have. I always bought the stereo versions of Beatle albums when they first came out, so moving anything from one side to the other, or even to the center, sounds weird to me. Now I wish I hadn't sold my mono box set: we know that's the way they wanted it to be heard.

I'll be a little kinder to Abbey Road but I know where you are coming from. I find the Giles version to be a little warmer than the '09 remaster. Sun King loses some of its swampy ambience in the remix. But even the '09 remaster has issues for me. I swear that I could hear John change pickups on I Want You. I can no longer hear that little click on either version. I like hearing those little details. Another minor quibble is A Day in the Life from Pepper. I kind of wish that they had kept the panning on John's voice. It was something that I liked. Lucy also has a change with the new panning of the organ riff. It's okay but it's different. Meh. You are right in saying that care must be given to preserve the vision. It's like a movie based on historical events becomes the defacto truth for a lot of people. It would be sad to play broken telephone with any "classic" album. But overall I am definitely super stoked about all these new remixes. I'm hoping that Giles And Sam finish up the catalogue. I would really love to hear what they would do to '63 to '65 material. Can you imagine?

Pepper remix is my fave except She's Leaving Home sounds extremely fast

I really love Revolver and Sgt Pepper, but it could be even more "perfectier" if the snare was 100% centered all the time.

I bought them all and agree with your ranking although I don't give Sgt. Pepper the same degree of praise as it earns here, Michael, Revolver is definitely top o' the heep. Abbey Road simply tried too hard and yeah, it didn't really demand a remix.😎👍

The Chicago Transit Authority album remix is a crime... Unlistenable mostly. Cheers from England. ☺.

1. Sgt. Pepper 2. Abbey Road 3. White album 4. Let it Be 5.Revolver

Remix uses elements but never really stays true to the original, hence the term remix. Remaster usually stays as close to true form and usually seeks improvement (enhanced) on what is already there.

You didn't review the best Beatles remix of them all THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL?! That remix is so INCREDIBLE, the Beatles live and ABSOLUTELY ROCKING! It totally blows away the ABSOLUTE MYTH that The Beatles weren't a good live band! In fact, the remix is so good The Hollywood Bowl remix is my ABSOLUTE VERY FAVORITE BEATLE ALBUM!

Question on the Abbey Road remix you do not like. This is not the 2009 remaster is it?

The remix of good morning good morning is just so much better than the original.

Everything you say is logic. Beatles didn't even release mono versions of Abbey Road and Let it Be. The other stereo mixes are based on the mono mix (better for Giles): White Album, Sgt Pepper, Revolver and soon Rubber Soul (most in need of new mix) Is new stereo mixes of Abbey Road and Let it Be really a mix-down of the 5.1 mixes? 🙂

Pronouncing “Giles” with a hard G aside, I endorse this ranking!

2009 revolver was terrible. Paul's voice would pop in and out. And his bass was over done. The new sgt. Pepper is great!

TL:DR too bad you have to read tor ignore this about Abbey Road.: Agree w the stereo aspect. My concern is with the future. It's rampant w modern groups, so what's going to happen once someone takes liberties with fine tuning instruments and vocals. It terrifies me. OH! Listening to Abbey Road while at the infusion clinic non-stop. I really wish they'd have left off "Octopus es Garden" and "Maxwell's Hammer," "Polythene Pam" took me a minute, but it segues well into, "She Came Into the Bathroom Window." The entire Side B gives "Dark Side of the Moon" vibes. Paul McCartney, my least favorite member, killed it on Side B. And I read in Ultimate Guitar I read it was McCartney had in ordering the songs for the medley. So sublime. A perfect song would've been "Sun King" except that Lennon wrote throw away lyrics in Italian.They're nonsensical. I had to completely reexamine my feelings about McCartney. I still think he writes "Silly Love Songs," pun intended. But "Oh Darling," "You Never Give Me Your Money," and "Golden Slumbers," which I've always loved, are for the ages. Also features some of Ringo's best drumming! "Mean Mr. Mustard" and "The End," are the greatest examples. Thanks for making me think about their music in terms of albums instead of songs I hear as single hits I won't be around much. I'm back in infusion, and it's kicking my butt. I look like someone broke my nose lol. I'll be better soon. It's affective. I might have found a job that works better with my situation, so that'd be great.P.S. I wonder why Manson thought The White Album was his influence when thematically this album fits his inner demons as well. 😍❤👍

Your right I can hardly listen to abbey road it’s that bad , I bought it on vinyl

Part of the problem is everyone wants to be that 5th Beatle so meddling occurs rather than respectfully detached producing for the benefit of the songs. Imo.

Interesting take on the remixes, but I have to disagree on a couple of things. Abbey Road always seemed to me to have some elements that were too low in the mix, especially “Come Together.” The electric piano and guitars are barely audible in the verses and needed to be turned up, but only a little. “Oh Darling” is my personal favorite of any Giles remix because the backing vocals are heavenly. The original mix had them much too quiet, IMO. BTW, were you aware that the mixing consoles for EMI Studios were solid state by the time of the sessions for Abbey Road? Kenneth Womack wrote an interesting book about it a few years ago. The other thing was the White Album. Giles took a few too many liberties, although he did clean up the sound of the album, overall. “Helter Skelter” isn’t the same without the bass prominent in the mix and “IVE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS” is turned down? Why? There’s a few other places he should have left alone, but no remix isn’t worth a listen. I admit Revolver has a really good remix, but the bass on “Taxman” was a little much for my car speakers when listening to the CD. Another favorite remix was “Fixing A Hole”. I hear harmonies there that aren’t as prominent in the ‘67 mix. Enjoy your videos. Cheers.

Abbey Road didn't need much, maybe nothing. The original was/is fantastic. Let it Be Naked is the wonderful. It's good to get the Esher Album as good as we can hear it. Good songs are still good without electrification. With these remixes, Revolver has become my favorite album. It was the perfect mix of experimentation balanced off with doing too much, which I think happened with Sgt Pepper (still a great album).

When will McCartney and co clean up the vocals on free as a bird and real love

Gyles 😂

I hope the Beatles/Martin didn't spend too much time mixing Revolver and Sgt Pepper. I mean, mixing four tracks for stereo...? Capitol had to use all sorts of tricks just to get decent stereo mixes from those old four track tapes.

But shame about the heavy bass EQ and dynamic limiting. What a waste ! Thanks you Mr. Martin jr.

The original Abbey Road first UK pressing is perfect. The remixes are interesting but Revolver is fantastic. Saying that the UK monos are still the best. Those remixed red and blues have destroyed some classic songs like hey jude, she loves you and all my loving.

Couldn’t disagree more about the Let it Be remix. I think it’s awesome. Let It be naked is my least favorite of the 4 let it be’s. I have had for over 50 years “the silver album by the worlds greatest “ which is a bootleg of the Geoff Emerick mixes. 1. Phil Spector original release. 2. Giles Martin remix. 3. The bootleg. 4. Naked which was bland and vanilla , suer disappointing ✌️🎸🎼

Let it be naked is let it be remix album by the Beatles.

Agree completely about Let It Be Naked. It’s far superior to the original LIB. No pointless chatter, snippets of noodling about and over blown orchestration. More to the original concept of back to basics. I don’t even bother with the original Let It Be release.

totally agree, the only thing i don't like os that it uses the single version of the let it be guitar solo instead of the album version which i think is way better

You called the order quite correctly. The muck up of Abbey Road was very disturbing.

Michael, Giles name is pronounced Jiles according to many KZread videos I've seen

@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine You're a humble man Michael. I enjoy your videos. The Tribe should meet regularly in a teepee!

Before watching the video here’s my prediction: Best: Sgt Pepper Worst: White Album Most useless: Abbey Road I feel mostly neutral about Let it Be and Revolver remixes. In my opinion I think the closest thing Giles has gotten to a slam dunk remix is pepper.

Very well explained thank you!

The Helter Skelter 2018 remix is terrible, its just all wrong. I enjoy some of the remixes but I'm not sure what happened with that....

For me "Revolver" sucks as an overall remix project. It sounds "hot" or near distorted in spots. My favorite remix is the one where I heard the most startling difference for the better. That honor goes to the "White Album". Sgt Pepper is beautiful too. I agree with your assessment of the Abbey Road remix. "Let It Be" is inconsistent,and "Let It Be Naked" is crystal clean.

Well we agree more than ewe disagree Lionheart! That counts for something! Thanx!😉👌❤

The Problem with all the remixes is agreement on preferred format blu-ray audio vs cd vs high quality Vinyl vs streaming. Right now you can pay a million dollars for the complete White Album or 1 hundred dollars for Revolver. Giles this format thing or controversy is so dumb.
