THIS NEW ALBUM WILL BE OUT IN A FEW WEEKS. It`s a re mixed version of early Beatles song which is now playing in Vegas with the cirque du Soleil show. These Beatle songs have also been recorded in 5.1 for dvd owners.
The sound is new (not compressed) very dynamic . It was made for HI Fi high end sound systems. Not boom box players. Altough it will sound "out of this world"
practically on anny system.
:bouncy:
I saw the show and I've been waiting for the disc. Available on CD and with a 5.1 DVD audio only disc. George Martin did the remixes.

This morning I had a fundraiser for my gang prevention program. We held it at the Home Depot Center Stadium Club, and we included a silent auction.
I ended buying a large framed picture of the Beatles with laser-etched signatures in anodized aluminum of the guys, along with mini album covers from all the original Beatles' albums.
Now there's something else for me to buy: Love.
But didn't the Beatles sing, "Can't buy me love" ? :wtf: :dont-know
why yes ...............as well as money thats what i want
I will order this album at my local store today!
A good friend of mine recenty turned me on to the Let It Be - Naked CD, which was released quite a while ago. It features tracks from the band's Let It Be album, albeit without the orchestration and additional overdubs which were added to the original soundtrack album only because the producers were worried that the movie might suffer soundwise with just the four boys playing. They were dead wrong on that. The Naked CD proves that the Beatles in 1969 were truly skillfull performers and musical arrangers, both individually and as an unit. If you don't have this album, I heartily recommend it. You won't regret it!
I can't wait for this newly remastered CD, too!
Even after all this time, what a great group and fantastic legacy.
I couldn't get a very good shot, even dividing the thing in two, but here's what I added to my Beatles memorabilia yesterday.
Thank you for the tip.Quote:

yup thanks for the naked tip
I loved it
The only track i really thought was a better original
was no 10 across the universe but it`s all good
this place great for new music finding!
Those of you who got a chance to get the cd before it's 21 November release are lucky.
They played a few songs on the radio . The sound is outstanding.EMI or Abbey Road used a different tape for each take back in the 60's . They never erased a tape for a retake.
Geoff Emerick EMI technician Quoted in an interview:
You used fresh tape for every take?
Yes. That was another one of the rules; we always had to record on virgin tape, because the technical people at the research department said — due to the flux or something — we shouldn't record over.
That is why the sound is stil perfect after all these years.
................................
The reason you don't reuse tape for important poop is that bias freq is not erased by the machine erase heads. As a result, unless you bulk erase, you get additional noise with each pass.

What the h"#ll are you talking about? We are talking about great sound from THE BEATLES ...:blink:Quote:

PS: Sorry Rolf! There was a time where someone could be fan either of the Beatles or the Stones. Today I like them both.:)
No sir, I am an Oklahoman by way of Missouri. I have been a fan-boy and collector of 60s punk,pop,psych,garage,Mod,soul,R&B,Dutch punk,bla bla bla since 1979
The Pretty's alwys make my top 10. Along with the Byrds, Q65, Television, The Who, Outsiders (Dutch), Stones, bla bla bla........
Nothing much better than firing up the tube amps, making a stiff Vodka tonic, and playing S.F Sorrow thru a set of JBL Olympus at fairly loud volumes.

TD, Get with the program. Savage Rose self titled and In The Plain was not untill 1968 and 1969. I am looking for mid 60s punk ravers ala Q65. Somewhere between 1964 and late 1967.
Easy. I didn't know '64 to '67 were your absolute, stringent guidelines. Sorry to be so far out of your time frame and out of your program. :rotfl:

Back OT, I picked up The Beatles "LOVE" in the CD/DVD combo set at Target for $13.88. The DVD-A 5.1 mixes are pretty interesting, and the sound quality really is quite good for being 40 years old. This definitely improves on the sound of the old LPs and the old CDs.
If Apple Corps is working on remastering these, it sounds like the material might just have the recording quality to make it worthwhile.
here is an original that I shot of some 60s group. Who was that lead singer ?

My first concerts were summer of 1970 - at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in MD, I went to 3 shows that year - The Association, Steppenwolf, and The Who (the Who's Next tour).
Janice and Jimmie had played there the year before, which was the first year for that new venue, but I hadn't yet been experienced, so I didn't know to go ...
Hijames -
Wow, I bet you feel horrible for not seeing Janice Joplin or Jimmie Hendrix.
I guess as they say - reality bites.
Oh well, you got to go see The Who in their prime! I am thinking about going this time around, but I dont know if those guys are going to be able to put on a show or not and their prices are outrageous!

Happy Holidays.

Well - since its over 37 years since I missed those shows I've somehow learned to deal with it - :DQuote:

i got a few new favorite tracks

and even my mom was blown away i let her control the sterio while she was here
if a old hippy says she has never heard the beatles like that must be on the right track
even with the naked and let it be albums
she could not remember ever hearing it clearer
the (ska)amp
I spent the extra few bucks to get both the LOVE CD and LOVE DVD-A in the combo package.
I played the CD several times, both at home and at work and enjoyed the improved quality, clarity, and sonics. There were many obvious improvements even with (or because of) the changes that George and Giles Martin, Ringo, Paul, Olivia, and Yoko made to the original tracks.
I love the original versions, but I'm not so much of an old fart that I can't recognize better versions when I hear them. The fact that original musicians, original production people, and dedicated spouses all were involved and gave a blessing is a big plus, but that might have easily resulted in a clusterf**k instead of an improvement.In this case, it's a big improvement.
How wonderful to hear the Beatles in a new, fresh, genuine, and beautiful rendering!
Now, I finally took out the DVD-A, in part as a result of a short exchange between Ian and me:
http://www.audioheritage.org/vbullet...&postcount=146
I wanted to see, now that I was accustomed to the updated "look and feel" of the Beatles in LOVE stereo, what my reaction would be in mutlichannel LOVE surround.
One word:
STUNNED.
I've been saying for as long as I've had a dvd-a/sacd player that those two formats are FAR superior to anything cd.
I have to agree with one of the old Rockers, Steven Stills, Neil Young or who ever it was, that cds are so bad they should have never been brought to market. At least the early ones.
I haven't looked in the local Target lately, but I doubt they have any dvd-a/sacd. Nowhere else around here does any more. I've bought my last 6 or more discs online. With any luck, I've got 3 more in the mail today.
Despite Ian's objections to DD/DTS 5.1 Those formats via DVD-A/DTS discs are, again, FAR superior to cd.
DVD video dts5.1, although not as good as DVD-A, is sill better than anything cd.
If one has any doubts about that listen to Olivia's 'One Woman's Journey' on a combo DVD-A/DTS/DD disc.
Then there is also DTS 96/24, even better. Just not enough titles to chose from.
You may have posted this elsewhere, but what player do you have?
The 96/24 discs I have are by and large wonderful to listen to. Even some 48/24 discs like Prairie Wind have a wonderful sound.
Nevertheless, they sometimes lack a dimensionality that robs them of their full power. It's often experienced as though the group, ensemble, or orchestra is playing "in my room." As wonderful an experience as that is, I don't imagine any of the artists had my room in mind as a performance venue, and a better experience would be if it sounded like I were in the environment the artists intended, rather than they in mine.
With a well done mutlichannel recording, a decent DAC, a robust multichannel amplifier (or multiple stereo amps) and a finely matched speaker set, this aspiration can be achieved. The JBL Performance Series is ideal in this regard because its output is so uniform from top to bottom, and the drivers are very "fast," which helps immensely in creating the dimensionality noted.
Having one of the benchmark DVD-A players, the relatively rare Panasonic XP-50, with 5.1 analog output; running the FAP T1+ as 5.1 direct, with analog bass management; passing the signal to a pair of 200W/ch, JFET/MOSFET, all discrete circuitry five-channel amps; and having a balanced and calibrated quintet of PT800s and PC600 for playback above 80 Hz, the sound from LOVE is truly breathtaking.
Hearing the a capella "Because" is a revelation in vocal purity, ethereal atmosphere, and dimensional openness. If George and Giles Martin wanted me to think I was hearing this outside, sung just for me, that's where I felt I was, not in my house. Ever since I heard this tune for the first time on the Abbey Road LP, I imagined it to be a very spacious, natural, outdoors tune. It is, after all, about the Earth, the wind, and the sky. At the same time, it's very personal and sensory: "...turns me on, ...blows my mind, ...makes me cry." This requires dimensionality and intimacy at the same time. The LOVE DVD-A delivers that experience like never before.
Wonderful, just wonderful...
I'm using a Samsung DVD-A/SACD HD841. Certainly not expensive, by any standards. When I bought it, 2~3 years ago, I could already see the trend of having very little software to buy. So I had no intentions of paying top dollar for a Marantz, Lexicon, Mcintosh, etc. and then have very little to play on it.Quote:

The one that I have to send back is a DVD-A, but I've already got that one, right artist, wrong title.
Some of the Beatles songs always have had a "big" sound to them. In a stereo sound mix, you could get it loud, but you couldn't always get it big. A pair of gi-normous studio monitors (4435, 4350) would "biggen" up the sound, but only from the front, and then it was just louder again in my room and not bigger than my room.
Take "I Am The Walrus," "Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite!/I Want You (She’s So Heavy)/Helter Skelter," "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds," "A Day In The Life," and "Hey Jude" to name some, and put them in 5.1 surround, and THEN you have big sound, dimensional sound, larger than my room sound. Four PT800s, a PC600, three PS1400s, and an HTPS400 all doing their discrete thing will kick the sonic ass of any of the older studio monitor pairs.
If I'm interested in really loud, then I can send the signal digitally and decode it with PLIIx to add two more PT800s to the mix.
Big, clear, precise, loud, dimensional, ass-kicking sound! Listenable at any volume! I can only imagine how this would sound through Project Array. I think K2 S9800s and DD66000s would not work in my room at all for multichannel sound (sound TOO big, room too small), but in the right room either would be the tits.
that is kinda cool. the birds chirping and the fly buzzing around.....and incredible a capella.Quote:

CD 16 bit, 44.1 khz sampling rate. Compared to Lossless DVD-A or DTS 96/24, or DTS 20 bit 5.1 music dics.
And they have the nerve to call it CD quality. Now there is an oxymoron.
As I recall, the flippin' music industry railroaded this standard through to prevent full digital copies at 48 kHz. The audio equipment manufacturers were ready to go 48 khz. Of course, the recording industry has a history of screwing its partners and customers to protect its greed machine.Quote:

The OL took off last night and left me home alone. I had not REALLY been able to audition the big OHM F's until then.
So I found my son's copy of BEATLES -LOVE and tossed it in the Carver CD.
Was transfixed. what a great recording. There were 3 or 4 passages ( walrus, octupus garden , come together and SPLHCB ) where I got FULL BODY GOOSEBUMPS from the sound/bass it produced. So enjoyable that I listened to the whole thing again......wonderfull, highly recommended. :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:
My wife just gave me this recording this past weekend. I'm particularly knocked out by the seamless musical "collages" (such as "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") that I found peculiarly moving, emotionally, and in a way I don't think a person too young to remember hearing the various components of these collages as something new and different could experience. It's a sort of "recursive" and self-referencing thing that probably wouldn't work without the initial experience. I'm not saying I like these new arrangements "better" OR "less" than the original releases, which I think of as definitive, but they are certainly quite beautiful. I'm hoping for more.
Nice observations on the collages. I, too, am moved by them in a surprising way. The more I listen to them, the more I hear, and it's all old and new at the same time: old memories, sounds, events, even smells associated with each snippet, yet coming together like an omelet in a delicious, new, tasty treat.
I think you're right that familiarity with the originals helps; nevertheless, I wish I could be a novice listening for the first time, then going back to the originals to get the source. In literature this works wonderfully in both directions: precedent and antecedent.
I don't think I've ever heard the Love album. About the only Beatle's album I ever liked was Abby Road.
Yeah, its that new one that was remixed by Sir George Martin and his son Giles to be an audio accompaniment to a Cirque de Soleil show in Vegas. Its a sort of mash-up by the Master ...Quote:

I've not made the purchase yet - I don't have SACD or DVD-A gear yet (to my knowledge). My Audio CD player is an HK changer, bought used last year strictly to take advantage of a number of HDCD discs I had, and a JVC DVD player that does all kinds of formats including DivX (for all my Doctor Who and Torchwood dloads), Camera memory cards, and MP3 CDs (don't use that feature. But apparently not DVD-A - and I'm out of inputs on the receiver!
Heather, I've listened to it 3 times in the last 2 days. Had not purchased a CD for years, but the recording quality is so good, I could not resist.Quote:

dont know if this is a common flaw, but if you find one reasonably priced showing this err, it is an easy fix, dont be afraid of it. All the rest is quality construction. Dont know details of the DAC , but it sounds great.
They are not usually over $100 on eBay.
Yes, I got the CD version of "LOVE"
Just got back from Best Buy and purchased the CD. Opened it up and put it in my car cd player. Wow, I am amazed!
After I finish typing this, I will go put it on my real system and give it a whirl.
Can't wait! Will post review.

No, but I taught English at Western Michigan University for four years in the early 80s. I also got to teach film there. I was there when Lennon died and made the students sit through a memorial to him and his music. Took my L100s, turntable, and receiver into class with me to play the music.Quote:

I'm not sure if the CD package has it, but I got a nice, colorful, 28-page booklet with intros by George and Giles Martin, a little technical info, and page after page of pictures. For those who got the CD, was the booklet in there, too?

Got the booklet in mine.
Decided not to get the $19.99 version with 5.1 on it. Instead, just bought the CD and it was $13.99 at Best Buy.
-Storm.
Finished listening to entire album.
What a treat - love those guys!
Wish I was born during that era - would have loved to see them in action.
Oh well, this CD is the next best thing - I suppose.
Very nice work on mixing - and the transitions to each song are superbly executed.
Plan to listen to this CD again in the morning and it is for sure going in my favorites pile.
:)
Thanks for this thread, or else I would have never even heard of the CD. Good work, team!
-Storm.
by the time the beatles had started their best stuff they had quit performing live.the impossibility of doing live versions of complex multi instrumental music had forced them out of the concert venues.in the beatlemania days most of their live shows were so full of teen aged girls screaming that little could be heard above the din anyhow.
I picked up the combo set. I gave the cd disc to my daughter.
That dvd 5.1 is really something to hear. I listened to the entire thing, except SF, SPLHCB. Never liked those two songs.
I listened via analog true dvd-a and thru the digital coax. On a couple of songs via digital(L7 & PLIIx) they were almost instrumental only, as the voice track was very low and in the background. But having equal level of music on at least 6 of 7 channels was fanstastic.
Actually, by the time they did their best(Abby Road, imho) they were just short of breaking up.Quote:

thats a favorite of mine too but i consider the stuff from around rubber soul/revolver on as the beginning of their best period. let it be i can live without.
When you think about concerts today, they're not much improved over the 60s. Band in front, big stacks and racks of equipment, lights, noisy crowd. I'll allow that the recent concert I heard with the JBL Vertec Arrays was absolutely, brilliantly stunning, but otherwise, not much different, except when they used the side and rear arrays for specific musical effects. Then effing awesome.Quote:

Not many. Porcupine Tree is having a go at it. Crystal Method maybe. Good ol' Neil Young.
The Beatles, in 30–40 year old recordings, sound better and adapt more gracefully to multichannel sound than 97% of the tossers out there selling multi-platinum, shit-covered CDs, riding around in limos with their freaking entourages and platinum crack pipes.

Hey Jim
Come on by sometime when you are in the area. Most anything of mine that we can demo, I think you wud like . :applaud:
sounds like a plan.i have friends in the vancouver area and have threatened to visit for years.in addition to the rock stuff i have an healthy stash of jazz,roots blues,country,southern,and i pick up the old library of congress field recordings when i see them.i should just upload a list of titles but until i become computer savvy;well .......
Is anyone but me bothered by all the remixing and recombining done on the Love CD? I know the project was done for a stage show and probably worked well in that context, but it bugs me nevertheless that such classic material should be tampered with. Giles Martin mentioned in the liner notes that he felt like he was painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa when he began mixing... I agree.
doesnt bother me. sound quality is so good and many tracks feel like new. And the originals are still there on other discs if you want, so whats the harm ?? Its not like singing the US National anthem in Spanglish.Quote:

Those who want it the old way can easily get it as SEAWOLF97 writes. For those of us who want more and want it in 5.1 surround to boot, here it is. :)
as long as the producers are skillful and respectful of the artist(s). i would hate to be subjected to another stars on long play debacle.i was upset when zappa redid some of his stuff but i could have lived with it if the original was out there alsoQuote:

Very well done remastering. The 5.1 24/96 DVD-A section output via the 5.1 analog outputs from my relatively inexpensive Integra DPS-6.5 was a joy to hear.
My wife and I commented to each other about all the musical detail we had not heard in previous Beatles releases.
I thank you all for this discussion. Had the thread not been here, I would have likely passed this work up. :)
Now, if only more recordings were released/re-released on higher resolution formats, I'd go poor replacing my whole library.
Seeing it just like you :)Quote:

Briang, despite my carping about the remixing present in Love, I agree completely on the sonics of the DVD-A, which are an absolute joy. Now if they would just take all 60 or 80 takes of every Beatles song in the vaults and issue them all in high res format then I would enjoy taking a year off and listening to them all!
I just got in from a long, long day, and there's a place for the Beatles at the end of a long day. It's nice to have them sounding this good.
One of my birthday presents from Emma was the DVD-A and CD combo of "Love". I've really enjoyed it, its a fun romp - but I haven't really played the CD version yet ... I think Sir George Martin and Son did an Excellent Job with this music.
Thanks to everyone here who recommended it!

'Material World' reveals much about Beatle
http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/01/showbi...rld/index.html
which quotes an interview with George Martin ..on a subject I've not considered.
Martin:Marty [Scorsese] would want the song, say, "All Things Must Pass," which is a classic track from a classic album, but it's made for vinyl. And if you played it in the cinema, it wouldn't be the way you remember it sounding. It would sound small. So you're ripping everything apart and putting it together so it sounds how you think you should remember it. And that's a challenge, because you have to pay utmost respect to the original creation, and at the same time, you have to rub everyone's memories the right way.
