Cleanest track ever ?

[Phil Allison[_4_]]

** Hi,

this famous Beatles number has no need of track isolation.

Each instrument and vocal component is crystal clear, particularly if you listen on headphones.

Once upon a time, in the 1970s, I would use it to demo my home stereo to casual visitors. Young ladies would sometimes start dancing, while males might simply tap their feet.

An enthusiastic comment I remember well was:

" ... **** those guys are tight ! "

After playing together for so long, they should have been. They had been
playing together for well in excess of a thousand paid gigs before they
got noticed.

The version you linked to was a remaster dating from 2009, 44 years
after the original release.

The original was in mono, from a four track master, and it sounded just
as good live when they did a version for the BBC.

** The LP I played for friends was bought in Sydney 1972, a compilation of Beatles hits. It WAS definitely ALL in stereo, " Honey Don't" sounding EXACTLY as in the link.

It also contained "With a Little Help from my Friends" - sung also by Ringo.

** Fascinating to hear *John* singing instead of Ringo!

Phil has a point: If his LP and jacket have "Capitol" stamped anywhere
on it, chances are it was remixed for stereo in/for the U.S. market.
