I checked the tracks you mention against my vinyl copies but there really isn't any difference to speak of.<br /><br />Does anyone else have any view on this? Perhaps my ears are finally giving up the ghost.music obsessivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191742084494035205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905794193248540231.post-80255384558016355282010-01-25T19:06:17.295+00:002010-01-25T19:06:17.295+00:00I have a question about the remastered versions: ...I have a question about the remastered versions: some of the songs don't seem quite right. For instance, "Got to Get You into My Life" in Revolver seem to miss the bass until very late in the song.<br />Also, the opening notes of "Dear Prudence" sound strange. Since I didn't own other versions of these songs, I wonder if anyone had this feeling.<br />Thanks!Geraldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455481987801188775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905794193248540231.post-83700671124317211462010-01-09T02:01:40.990+00:002010-01-09T02:01:40.990+00:00Thanks for the advice but like you, we only own th...Thanks for the advice but like you, we only own the collection on vinyl so updating it to the Remasters will be a good thing given that we no longer have a record player (although this is something we intend remedying soon).YourZenMinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573065866540263511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905794193248540231.post-1660303149886245642010-01-08T13:21:19.906+00:002010-01-08T13:21:19.906+00:00Perplexio - I'll go along with that.

I'll probably get killed for saying this but my view is that John was a spent force post Beatles as all his best work was early to mid 1960s. Paul was OK up to about 'Band on the Run' but that was 27 years ago!music obsessivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191742084494035205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905794193248540231.post-31853977786692047412010-01-08T12:49:10.479+00:002010-01-08T12:49:10.479+00:00I've got to say that for their post-Beatles wo...I've got to say that for their post-Beatles work between Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison-- I prefer Harrison's solo material over that of John or Paul... especially <i>Cloud 9</i>, getting Jeff Lynne to produce was a brilliant idea on George's part.Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905794193248540231.post-37675292486406346652010-01-08T09:15:05.816+00:002010-01-08T09:15:05.816+00:00YourZ - Three cheers for George!

I own most of them on scratched vinyl and wanted to replace them with CDs so it made sense to do it now.music obsessivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191742084494035205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905794193248540231.post-2593758141321878982010-01-08T02:43:09.232+00:002010-01-08T02:43:09.232+00:00I agree with you about 'While My Guitar Gently...I agree with you about 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'.

I think you have it about right although I have a bit of a soft spot for 1967 especially the 'Magical Mystery Tour' album and of course, 'Strawberry Fields'.music obsessivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191742084494035205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905794193248540231.post-61623832270339025472010-01-06T12:30:54.811+00:002010-01-06T12:30:54.811+00:00Martin, glad you had a cool Yule and Happy New yea...Martin, glad you had a cool Yule and Happy New year to you!<br /><br />I too always broke the Beatles into different periods. There is "Beatlemania 1" and that ends with <b>Beatles for Sale</b>. "Beatlemania 2" begins with <b>Help!</b> becasue that's where the music started to change and runs through <b>Revolver</b>. John's dominance ran through <b>Rubber Soul</b>. Then Paul took over. Then there is the "Psychedelia" which is basically just 1967, and finally the "Later Years" which begins with <b>The White Album</b>. George was outstanding near the end (his songs rivaled the other two) but he came on too late to be a huge factor before 1968. The weakest pereiod: Psychedelia, the srtongest: Beatlemania 2!Charlie Riccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930103645729165149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905794193248540231.post-63602442295981912622010-01-06T10:29:46.432+00:002010-01-06T10:29:46.432+00:00Hello Sir, Just came over to wish you a very happy...Hello Sir, Just came over to wish you a very happy new year ! :) <br /><br />Keep Rocking !bearockrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820751260419572484noreply@blogger.com
