Listening to the new Beatles Revolver remix/master released yesterday. Giles and co. have done a spectacular job yet again! There is SO much detail in those original tapes.
Like the other recent remix/master Beatles albums, Sir Paul's bass work is much more clear, but the clarity of vocals is maybe the biggest improvement with this latest effort. Eleanor Rigby sounds like it was recorded yesterday.
This is a must-listen!
@voltronic I agree. It really popped! And one of my top 3 Beatles albums.
@kay_dub
Mine too. I am one of those heathens who does not think Sgt. Pepper is their best album, though it has perhaps my favorite song (She's Leaving Home).
For me, it goes:
1. Abbey Road
2. White Album
3. Revolver
4. Sgt. Pepper
5. Rubber Soul
Then all the rest in no particular order.
@voltronic Think those are my 5 top as well, but I swap #2 & #5, and only because the White Album feels like a collection of songs from each artist, rather than "group" songs. All great songs, of course.
@kay_dub
That's a fair assessment. I always rank White Album near the top because it has so many songs that I love; some of their most creative work, IMO.
