I’m enjoying the new Abbey Road remix but not as much as the Pepper and White Album remix’s. I think Abbey Road was the best of the Beatles’ original mixes anyway. The outtakes are brilliant, especially I Want You. I’m looking forward to see what they do with a Let It Be box. My wish would be to get at least 2 brand new, fully fledged, mixed to album standard songs from those sessions. I don’t care if they have frankenstein, chop up and fly in multiple takes of a song. Just get it done. Let It Be could be the best in the series based purely on the volume of material worked on. Sure they did a re-think on it back in 2003 but there is still a ton more to do. Still a ton more unreleased. Could do multiple version, the original pressing, the final pressing, the removal of overdubs. |

We're not gonna have to wait until 2026 for Revolver, are we?

We're not gonna have to wait until 2026 for Revolver, are we? No. They only just dreamed up this type of project in late 2016. Right in time for Pepper. That got them in line to celebrate all the huge Beatles albums that dominated the charts globally. Pepper. White Album. Abbey Road. All the prior albums are more cut and dry. They bashed them out very quickly so probably less stuff material to pull from. Overall George Martin did a tremendous job all those years ago. Nobody believed in him since he was a comedy and orchestra producer. |

I think after ‘Let It Be’ they should work backwards with the reissues.
Tidy up 1967/68 with a ‘Magical Mystery Tour / Yellow Submarine’ box set. Then ‘Revolver’ working backwards to ‘Please Please Me’ with ‘Past Masters’ released somewhere in between giving them the chance to further develop the ‘de-mixing’ technique.

They are going to do them all eventually. The only problem is that the earlier ones might prove skimpy on bonus material because they recorded those albums so fast and so quickly. Not a lot of messing around or studio experimenting. |

Abbey Road is number one in the U.K. Album Charts.
50 years on, still topping the charts. Unbelievable.

After a week, I think I Want You (She’s So Heavy) is the best sounding of the remixes. The outro sounds intense. It’s the little things that make it, the little vocal piece ‘She’s so...’ at 3.17 when you can hear the echo of Lennon’s voice in Studio 2 just makes it so rewarding.
They have to do this to every Beatles album. The success of this, White Album and Sgt Pepper demands it.

Nice to hear the details minus the swirl of noise. Haven't played the remaster yet. I need extended drip feed  |

She's so Heavy is my least favourite of the remixes, to be honest. Don't like that they muted the hiss and McCartney's backing scream at 3:30-ish. Basically everything else is fantastic, though.

Loving the remix but why did they take out John's moan out at the end of Come Together? Shit like that is annoying.

For this album Giles Martin said they aimed to recreate our ideas of what Abbey Road sounds like, but never actually did. The newly mixed outro to 'She's So Heavy' is the best example of that. I've always imaged that outro to be the heaviest thing ever, the audio equivalent of a junkie disappearing down a wormhole; however, when you go back and listen to the original stereo mix, it doesn't really sound like that. The band don't get much louder, and the white noise created on Moog synthesisers just hovers awkwardly on the surface, clearly overdubbed. Here, though, it's a real cacophony, and just as electrifying as I'd always imaged it to be. |

Yep the pieces are there in the original version but never quite fitting together, which is to be expected as stereo was still a concept that had yet to be fully mastered even by top producers like George Martin. |

Giles was very coy when asked about a Let It Be remix for next spring. He said he's only been working with Peter Jackson on next year's Let It Be documentary. He wouldn't go any further than that but did point out they already did a Let It Be naked so what would justify another? I think it still happens because of all the outtakes. That is the goldmine.

It's sucks that they didnt do Old Brown Shoe and Ballad of John & yoko too since those songs basically belong to Abbey Road. I hate when they do that, letting songs from sessions out of new releases.

Revolution omitted from last years White Album is a travesty. Love to hear that full throated guitar in proper stereo mix. |

I suppose that's an indication that they will re-do the Past Masters as well, but yeah, they could easily have included all the tracks in those re-releases. |

That’s a good point about Past Masters, indicates that Old Brown Shoe was left off this remix for that same reason. Hopefully indicates that the rest of the back catalogue will follow. |

The thing I've gotten out of going back to Abbey Road this week is what a varied album it is. Because of the perfected production, you think of the record as one defined by cohesiveness - but in it's way, it's every bit as sprawling as The White Album. From love ballads to prog odysseys to children's songs to acoustic sing-a-longs, the record really does cover a wide range of ground. It's testament to the strength of the recordings that it all blends together so smoothly.
