Any plans for reissues/remixes of the early albums? I hate those 2009 stereo version. I know that they're meant to be listened to in mono, but would love it if those early albums get finally proper stereo mixes. I heard next official release is Rubber Soul. There is a lot of fan-made stereo remixes. I like Lord Reith's releases. |

Give My Regards To Broadstreet  Ah well didnt know this one thanx ! Macca in the 80s, hit or miss right, i'll give my verdict later. I'd hardly call it a 1930s style album on the basis of one track called GOODNIGHT PRINCESS - and even that's only on the extended CD version of the album. |

McCartney's output on the White album is simply admirable. Covered every genre, did so flawlessly and seemingly effortlessly. My favourite Beatle by a mile. Ditto. And you see it later in his solo career as well. He covered so many genres, worked with many people, experimented a lot. I admire Paul for just doing whatever the heck he wants. It is always great? No of course not, but I like how he tries. |

Well i watched the movie and well, Macca is a damn good musician and songwriter. Actor... no comment  As for the music, yeah bar the extra track, it sounds more like a weird mix of 80s music and cabaret from the 50s. Not the best he's done. The 80s... |

I quite like the album but I admit the film is pretty awful. Then again, with a couple of mates, a few beers (or whatever) it's a dopey enough way to kill an evening with a few laughs - even if you're laughing at it and not with it. |

Rubber Soul is this coming fall/winter. Then is Help. For real? If so, desperately needed. Rubber Soul maybe one of the worst sounding in terms of the extreme panning. Again, whoever did the 2009 stereo remasters were polishing turds. Waste of everyone's time. |

I've never heard that in full, amazing stuff. Crazy it was left of Anthology or the recent 50th.

There is a version of him singing the first part for real that's been bootlegged for years. Doesn't sound like AI at all-bloody cool and freaky at the same time. |

Doesn't sound like AI-bloody cool and freaky if it is. Is it that one with him faintly singing it in the background? I think that was what the author was trying to emulate. |

Pretty sure it's also in the Get Back film. This is the first AI that actually has some real emotion to it. I was sitting here thinking what an amazing singer Paul was.

It's real and he is an old man, adds some weight to what he's singing. Although, hearing youngish Paul on When Winter Comes kind of shows what he's lost. |

Chuffed to hear about this. It's nice that Paul has got his wish to finish the tune off because technology has improved enough to make mixing it properly possible.
It probably won't happen, but I wish they'd have another go at 'Real Love'. 'Free As a Bird' came out sounding pretty good, I think, but the shortcomings of Lennon's demo recordings are very apparent on 'Real Love'. That bloody piano stuck to Lennon's vocal. Argh!
...
By the way, is that true, folks, that 'Free As a Bird', 'Real Love', and 'Now and Then' were compiled by Lennon onto a cassette labelled "For Paul"? I hadn't heard about that before, but the prospect of it being true is absolutely thrilling to me.
I know people like to focus on their rivalry, like they do with Liam and Noel or the Davies brothers, but I much prefer to think about John and Paul being friends. Many people who came into contact with them have remarked on the special bond that seemed to exist between them, and it's one the things I love most about The Beatles: Get Back that at times we can see how alike they were, and how much they loved each other. |

To be fair about “Real Love” that song had already been out on Lennon compilation from the mid 80s so getting it 7-8 years later with the Beatles layering on top of it wasn’t that exciting to me. “Free As A Bird” was different because it hadn’t been released prior (although poor bootleg rips of demo). |

Shocking, Paul, 80, way more smart about tech than Noel, 56.
Cant wait to hear this. Free as a Bird and Real Love were really good tunes.

Using AI to enhance a recording is the most Beatles thing to do. I trust Paul's intuition. The Beatles have always pushed the barrier.

From most accounts, it's John's handwriting that hastily scribbled 'for Paul'. It's profound if true, but part of me suspects it was Yoko who wrote it while compiling material to hand over for the Anthology sessions. Over the years, the story just grew legs to become a romanticised myth. I'd so want it to be true. While I'm sure the bond was there, it's little gestures like this that would indicate the depths of that bond and that they never went away in all those years. |

They were already using this separation technology during Let It Be and Revolver. It’s not being used to re-create John’s voice like so many AI songs are doing. Not with John but coming up with different singers for songs. All Paul is doing is using the Peter Jackson stuff to separate John’s voice from the piano and tape hiss. |
