cookieman15061 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Anyway the new mix is great and puts the listener in the middle of the sound. The guitars solos, the background vocals and Ringo's drums all really shine and sonic wise puts this record on par with Abbey Road. There I said it......

RevDavidLee Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Okay I ran out & bought it today. Will listen to it later this evening. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 When I first heard the Beatles in 1962 (couple of years before Ed Sullivan), they instantly became my favourite group. I was 8 years old. By the time Sgt Pepper came out, I was more interested in King Crimson & Pink Floyd. I still liked it though. When I heard 'A Day in the Life' it made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. It was Johns alternating semitones that triggered it. In fact, I can’t listen to the song without remembering that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lennon had one of the most Iconic voices, in Rock! IMHO... Even though he said he always hated his voice! Such emotion, from "Anna," to screaming "Twist and Shout," to "In My Life, to A Day In The Life!" I loved his voice! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darling67 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 As some of you may already know, this boxed set comes with a 5.1 Surround mix on the DVD and Bluray discs. A friend from work, who doesn't have the set but does have a Surround Sound system at home, invited me over to listen to the 5.1 mix... and determine if he needs to buy it for himself. Holy Moley!!! Needless to say, he will be buying his own soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleb Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Just got a hard copy of it yesterday. I downloaded it a few days ago. Great album, but when are we gonna get the Uber Mega Ultra The Beatles album AKA The White Album. That to me is Beatles nirvana. I've read that a 50th Anniversary White Album package is coming next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieman15061 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I can't wait until Giles goes back in and adds all the hiss, pops, clicks and skips for people that never experienced the original vinyl. Kinda like a Beatles road worn series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis G Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 ...John Lennon had one of the most Iconic voices, in Rock! IMHO... I couldn't agree more. What a range...soft ballad "A Day in the life" or "Across the Universe" to "Twist and Shout" to just a great harmony singer. He may not have liked his voice, but there are countless of us who would disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can understand how he must have felt, I don't like my singing voice and I was in Boys Glee, Madrigal, Choir and Barber Shop in High School.

Yeah, if it was used on a song, it's in there. Very comprehensive it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieman15061 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 The Beatles Gear book and The Beatles Complete recording sessions by Mark Lewisohn are the two books every fan should own. Both excellent and very thorough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarGeordie Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I lost my virginity to "Norwgian Wood", so "Rubber Soul" will always be my go to Beatles album. At one end there was "I want to hold your hand" and "Love me do": the last album before the storm was Sgt. Pepper. Thank you Beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, the British version is my favorite album of all time (I even love "What Goes On"). I do love the Capitol version as well, though. "I've Just Seen a Face" and "It's Only Love" work great on there as opposed to buried on side 2 of the British "Help!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know there were two different versions. Apparently I've had the North American version all along. What Goes On is freakin great.

SteveFord Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 It took a while to listen to the vinyl but WOW! This is well worth getting. That guitar solo on Good Morning, Good Morning just explodes out of the speakers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Two weeks fewer than Billy Ray Cyrus's debut album. The difference is now you only need to sell a few hundred thousand to garner that Chart position. Back then you had to sell in the millions.

surfpup Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The difference is now you only need to sell a few hundred thousand to garner that Chart position. Back then you had to sell in the millions. Hmmm... From Wikipedia: The album has also sold more than 20 million copies worldwide and is the best-selling debut album of all time for a solo artist. Some Gave All was also the best-selling album of 1992 in the US with 4.7 million copies sold And RIAA has the two albums pretty close in sales, and the Beatles had a 25 year head start! In fact, the RIAA site in quite interesting. Garth Brooks has three albums that have outsold Sgt. Pepper, Shania Twain has two, even Britney Spears has outsold Sgt. Pepper.
