George Harrison 50th ATMP Anniversary

[Hobbayne]

I got this remix yesterday. It is so much better with the wall of sound removed.

You can hear so much more that was buried under Spectors production.

Nice to hear the great Klaus Voorman drop a clanger at 2.01 which went unnoticed till I picked it up. 😊

So much more clarity in this remix,

 albeit a bit pricey for casual fans.

Out of interest, what has changed from the WOS version to make it sound clearer?

In simple terms, they've scraped as much of the reverb off as possible, and remixed it. Night and day.

Bobby Whitlock's take on the remix and remaster....

 

 

 

I must admit, judging by the OP video soundtrack, I agree with him. Unless, of course, that OP video is not a true representation of what was released on vinyl (I can't imagine it is).

In fairness, Coco Carmel does say that the Stream version sounds better.

I can't seem to find it, but I'm pretty sure there was a 2014 remaster knocking around as well.

He must be talking about the original mix. 😁

I think it sounds fantastic.

I remember reading somewhere that Harrisons family tried to stop his youtube videos.

George’s son Dhani is guesting on Johnnie Walker’s Radio 2 show right now, very interesting stuff about the new boxed set and the new versions etc. Will be available on IPlayer too I should imagine.

Thanks - I had reverb down as the prime suspect…. but I’m not often correct in these matters!

Or… scrapped away the inherent Phil Spector, same thing really.
