F.A.Q.
Who?
I have a turntable and a nice record collection, mostly LP's from the 60's & early 70's.
What?
My aim is to make rare stuff (in glorious mono or sometimes stereo) publicly available again with the best possible sound quality.
Requests?
Generally, no. I select my projects very critically. Vinyl condition is everything. I tend not to work with records that are in less than pristine condition.
Donations?
Get outta here!
Thanks a lot for this remixed album. Really looking forward to hearing your great work.

ReplyDeleteOh Wonder...
ReplyDeleteLove your work, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is really fantastic with clean sound and very cool stereo, prof. Thank you very much. :-)
ReplyDeleteProf, you are one sexy Melon Farmer. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you very kindly!
ReplyDeleteI thought my Beatles collection finished but glad to make room for a great addition like this.Great sound-Ty so much.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your mix of "A Hard Day's Night"
ReplyDeleteWhy did you remix I Want To Hold Your Hand and This Boy if they're from 4-track?
ReplyDeleteWho wants to know?
DeleteHey Prof. - Please fast forward to Rubber Soul and Revolver. Your talents will be best served on those albums.
ReplyDeleteHey Prof!!! It's always a thrill to discover your newest post. I was hoping for this one. Thanks a million. Please keep re-mixing The Beatles. Your mix of PPM is a great listen. Looking forward to spending time with this one.
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Great listen - thanks a million! Looking forward to the day when the first early Rolling Stones stereo remixes appear here...!
ReplyDeleteThanks professor! sounds great as well as please please me. Is there a lack of high frequency data when you extract instruments? Just wondering why your only offering these releases in 16/44.1. Also I was wondering if you would ever release some form of a tutorial on your vinyl transferring methods as I have many out-of-print records. You have always had the highest quality transfers as far back as I can remember!
ReplyDeleteThe source material was 24/44.1 so it is what it is. There is no true hirez Beatles out there (from tape to digital).
ReplyDeleteI recently received the Buddy Holly & Hank Williams stereo extractions from Hit Parade. After listening to those I realized that the best extractions are only as good and the original recordings. BTW yours sound Fab!
ReplyDeleteAnother gem! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThese remixes you've created are by far the best I've heard.Amazing clarity.Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the hard work! Looking forward to hearing this.
ReplyDeleteAnother gem Prof. Many thanks. As a complete novice on these things myself, what criteria do you consider when starting these remixes ie that were not achieved in the originals ? Cheers.......
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. But Money always has the same problem at the beginning?
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Professor. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting Professor.
ReplyDeleteI offer the following comment, not as a criticism of the Prof's selection, but as a guide to those not knowing the differences between the stereo and mono presentations of this album.
For me, The United Artists US mono will always be my favorite version. The mono single-tracked lead vocal on "Tell Me Why", "And I Love Her", and "If I Fell" is outstanding compared to the stereo double-tracked vocal for those songs. There's a haunting quality to Paul's single-tracked lead on "And I Love Her". Additionally, the mono chorus is double-tracked compared to the triple-tracked stereo choruses for those songs. Paul's voice gives out on the stereo version of "If I Fell" (2nd time he sings "was in vain"), whereas on the mono version his voice is clear. And lastly, the mono version of "I'll Cry Instead" is 15 seconds longer (extra chorus and verse) than the stereo version.
I've never really been able to listen to the stereo versions of this album, until now. This work has got me revisiting all of these great tunes. It may be sacrilege, but I think this surpasses the mono versions. Outstanding! hmalbrt from Thailand
ReplyDeleteThank you for your work. Will enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteA little late as I was on holiday, but wow! Will need to think about this further, but this could well be the best presentation of this album. Very much overlooked, especially by me, so now I'll really need to revisit it. Incredible work!
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much - these Beatles remixes are amazingly good! Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteHey Prof!!! What is the update on 7/7/22 about? Did you do some adjustments or improvements to some of the tracks?
ReplyDeleteBradford James Goodman.

Deletev1.1: 07-07-2022 (slight changes made to vocal balance on Tr. 01-02, all other files identical)
PS
Much thanks
DeleteWonderful separation of vocals - very well done!
ReplyDelete"With The Beatles" was one of the first Beatles LP's I bought back in the early '70's and I couldn't believe how awful it sounded in stereo . I heard it again in stereo on the 2009 CD and it still sounded terrible , vocals stuffed on the right speaker and , as John Lennon said , they double-tracked themselves to death . I liked the mono remaster but cor blimey (as us brits say) your new remaster is the first listenable stereo version ever of this album ! Great work , look forward to hearing your other Beatles re-masters now .
