The Beatles - I Am the Walrus (2024 Stereo Mix)
Quote, Stereo Classics: New stereo mix using the 2003 5.1 Anthology DVD mix.
Next audio upgrade also comes from Stereo Classics who says "Update of my previous mix, using superior sources for the intro and applying a more pleasant remaster." Very nicely done!

Re: The Beatles Pseudo and Fan-Made Productions
good one here on songfacts re: "I am The Walrus" production !
John Lennon wrote this song. As stated in the DVD Composing the Beatles Songbook, John was throwing together nonsense lyrics to mess with the heads of scholars trying to dissect The Beatles songs. They also mention that it's John's answer to Bob Dylan's "getting away with murder" style of songwriting. Lennon told Playboy years later that "I can write that crap too," which is rarely mentioned in relation to this song.
Lennon explained the origins of this song in his 1980 Playboy interview: "The first line was written on one acid trip one weekend. The second line was written on the next acid trip the next weekend, and it was filled in after I met Yoko. Part of it was putting down Hare Krishna. All these people were going on about Hare Krishna, Allen Ginsberg in particular. The reference to 'Element'ry penguin' is the elementary, naive attitude of going around chanting, 'Hare Krishna,' or putting all your faith in any one idol. I was writing obscurely, a la Dylan, in those days."
Lennon got the idea for the oblique lyrics when he received a letter from a student who explained that his English teacher was having the class analyze Beatles songs. Lennon answered the letter; his reply was sold as memorabilia at a 1992 auction. >>
The voices at the end of the song came from a BBC broadcast of the Shakespeare play King Lear, which John Lennon heard when he turned on the radio while they were working on the song. He decided to mix bits of the broadcast into the song, resulting in some radio static and disjointed bits of dialogue.
The section of King Lear used came from Act Four, Scene 6, with Oswald saying: "Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse," which comes in at the 3:52 mark. After Oswald dies, we hear this dialogue:
Edgar: "I know thee well: a serviceable villain, As duteous to the vices of thy mistress As badness would desire."
Gloucester: "What, is he dead?"
Edgar: "Sit you down, father. Rest you."
The idea for the Walrus came from the poem The Walrus and The Carpenter, which is from the sequel to Alice in Wonderland called Through the Looking-Glass. In his 1980 Playboy interview, Lennon said: "It never dawned on me that Lewis Carroll was commenting on the capitalist and social system. I never went into that bit about what he really meant, like people are doing with the Beatles' work. Later, I went back and looked at it and realized that the walrus was the bad guy in the story and the carpenter was the good guy. I thought, Oh, s--t, I picked the wrong guy. I should have said, 'I am the carpenter.' But that wouldn't have been the same, would it?"
When Lennon decided to write confusing lyrics, he asked his friend Pete Shotton for a nursery rhyme they used to sing. Shotton gave them this rhyme, which Lennon incorporated into the song:
Yellow matter custard, green slop pie
All mixed together with a dead dog's eye
Slap it on a butty, ten foot thick
Then wash it all down with a cup of cold sick
The song's opening line, "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together" is based on the song "Marching To Pretoria," which contains the lyric, "I'm with you and you're with me and we are all together." >>
The choir at the end sings, "Oompah, oompah, stick it in your jumper" and "Everybody's got one, everybody's got one."
This song helped fuel the rumor that Paul McCartney was dead. It's quite a stretch, but theorists found these clues in the lyrics, none of which are substantiated:
"Waiting for the van to come" means the three remaining Beatles are waiting for a police van to come. "Pretty little policemen in a row" means policemen did show up.
"Goo goo ga joob" were the final words that Humpty Dumpty said before he fell off the wall and died.
During the fade, while the choir sings, a voice says "Bury Me" which is what Paul might have said after he died.
During the fade, we hear someone reciting the death scene from Shakespeare's play "King Lear."
In addition, a rumor circulated that Walrus was Greek for "corpse" (it isn't) in Greek, so that is what people thought of Paul being the Walrus. Also, in the video, the walrus was the only dark costume.
The BBC banned this for the lines "pornographic priestess" and "let your knickers down."
This was released as the B-side to "Hello Goodbye," which Paul McCartney wrote. This angered Lennon because he felt this was much better.
In The Beatles song "Glass Onion," Lennon sang, "The Walrus was Paul." He got a kick out of how people tried to interpret his lyrics and figure out who the Walrus was.
Lennon got the line "Goo Goo Ga Joob" from the book Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce. "Semolina Pilchard" was Detective Sergeant Norman Pilcher, head of the Scotland Yard Drugs Unit. He led the arrests of both John Lennon and Brian Jones before being investigated himself for blackmail and bribery in the '70s. >>
Eric Burdon (of Animals and War fame) stated in his biography that he is the Egg Man. It seems he told John Lennon of a sexual experience he was involved in where an egg played a major part. After that, John called him Egg Man.
ELO's song "Hello My Old Friend" has an identical form to this - almost the same tune and orchestration but different words. No wonder Jeff Lynne is sometimes referred to as the sixth Beatle.
In The Beatles Lyrics, journalist Hunter Davies explains that he was with John Lennon when the song first came to him. They were swimming in a pool when a police siren sounded outside. It triggered a rhythm in Lennon's head, and he later added to that rhythm the words, "Mist-er Cit-ee police-man sitting pretty."
Lennon related this same story to Jonathan Cott in 1968, saying, "I had this idea of doing a song that was a police siren, but it didn't work in the end... You couldn't really sing the police siren."
In an episode of The Simpsons, "The Bart Of War," airing May 18, 2003, Bart and Milhouse break into a secret room in the Flanders' household to discover that Ned is a Beatles fanatic. Bart takes a sip from a can of 40-year-old Beatles-themed novelty soda and quotes this song: "Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye," while Milhouse takes a trip and sees various Beatles inspired hallucinations. >>
Styx covered this song in 2004 and made a music video for it with a cameo from Billy Bob Thornton. They performed it at Eric Clapton's Crossroads benefit that year, and incorporated it into their set lists. Their version appears on their One with Everything DVD. >>
After John Lennon went solo, he wrote a song called "God" where he sang, "I was the walrus, but now I am John." >>
Artists to cover this song include Guided By Voices, Jackyl, Phil Lesh, Love/Hate, Men Without Hats, Oasis, Oingo Boingo, Spooky Tooth and Styx. The Dead Milkmen recorded a completely different song with the same title in 1987.
Frank Zappa and the Mothers Of Invention performed the song as part of their late '70s - early '80s live repertoire, giving it their own comic treatment. It was a favorite of the fans. >>
Bono sings this song in the movie Across the Universe, a film centered around the music of The Beatles. In the film, he plays Dr. Robert, also a reference to another Beatles song. >>
This was the first song the Beatles recorded after Brian Epstein's death. Engineer Geoff Emerick recalled, "the look of emptiness on their faces when they were playing."
John Lennon's "I'm Crying..." lyric came from the Smokey Robinson & the Miracles song "Ooh Baby Baby," where Robinson sings that phrase in the refrain.
In the Anthology version of this song, they experiment with four octaves in the intro. Also, just before Lennon says, "Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun," Ringo does two hits on snare and floor tom before hitting crash. >>
In the 2001 Stephen King novel Dreamcatcher, a psychiatrist named Henry Devlin sings this as he tries to destroy an alien parasite and its eggs.

britt2001b "With this new true stereo remix, I have unlocked the vocals of John, Paul, and possibly George, giving each voice its own individual space instead of blending them together. This approach creates a more natural stereo stage and brings clarity to the wonderful harmonies, reminiscent of a Beach Boys recording. Additionally, this strategy addresses the void in the left channel left by the 2023 official remix, which served as my source. While Giles Martin's remix was a vast improvement over previous versions, it lacked information in the left channel. In this remix, you'll now hear Paul's voice partially filling that void in the left channel, John's lead vocal in the center, and possibly George's vocal in the right.
I only remixed the vocals, without modifying the instrumentation, after hours of repositioning the separated and fragmented stems provided by the de-mixing process. No artificial acoustics were used to widen the stereo image, and nothing new was added that wasn't part of the original, in order to avoid artificially enhancing the stereo stage.
As a side note, I believe that when the official remix of 'Rubber Soul', which includes this wonderful song, is released, it has the potential to sound the best of all the official remixes due to the stark contrast with the album's poor history of mixes."

Quote britt2001b:
"this remix, I've made two key modifications to Giles Martin's stellar work: firstly, I've separated the vocals to infuse the song with even more depth, and secondly, I've boosted the bass and drums a bit to inject an extra dose of energy and punch.
Rest assured, no pseudo acoustics or artificial manipulations were employed here. This is an authentic de-mixing of vocals and instruments, followed by a remixing process true to the era in which the original was recorded. Join us on this nostalgic journey through music history!"

Paperback Writer-2024 Remix Provides New Strength In The Beatles Classic | Guitars & Vocals Featured...
Good work here
Quote Britt2001b - "This rendition not only showcases the brilliant vocals that define the song but also accentuates its heavy guitar elements.
During the 'Revolver' sessions, which 'Paperback Writer' was part of, innovative techniques were employed in recording the guitars. While Giles Martin's official 2022 remix enhanced the vocals, it somewhat narrowed the stereo field and diminished the guitars' prominence, prompting me to embark on this remix endeavor.
In my interpretation, I've widened the vocal sound stage slightly to match the three-part harmony's demands. The guitars, previously positioned right-of-center in the 2022 remix, now find their place on the outer edges, allowing the drums, bass, and lead vocals to shine. This approach mirrors the heavy guitar mixing style prevalent in the 70s.
Moreover, I've subtly boosted the bass to highlight McCartney's virtuosic performance, underscoring its innovative spirit. Rest assured, this remix stays true to the original, honoring the integrity of the recording without introducing new elements."

Re: The Beatles Pseudo and Fan-Made Productions
The Beatles 'You Really Got A Hold On Me' Captivating Vocals Unlocked In This 2024 True Stereo Remix
In 'You Really Got A Hold On Me,' recorded in 1963 for 'With The Beatles,' John Lennon delivers one of his most compelling vocal performances. With this remix, I've meticulously separated each of the voices, placing John front and center, George to the right, and Paul to the left. This approach adds a new dimension to the recording, accentuating one of The Beatles' finest vocal showcases. While Giles Martin's official remix in the 2023 'Red and Blue' albums was one of the better, I felt the vocals deserved further attention. Thus, my aim was to enhance the enjoyment of this remarkable Smokey Robinson song beyond Martin's remix.
Accompanying the remix is a video paying homage to the U.S. debut of the song on Capitol's 1964 release, 'The Beatles' Second Album.' Some argue that this compilation stands as The Beatles' premier Rock n' Roll album, a sentiment I wholeheartedly share!
It's important to note that this remix steers clear of any artificial acoustics or additional elements not present in the original recording. It's a faithful isolation and remixing of the vocals, reminiscent of the stereo techniques prevalent in 1960s recordings.

Re: The Beatles Pseudo and Fan-Made Productions
After the mixed reviews of the 2023 narrow stereo official remix of The Beatles' 'Please Please Me,' I took it upon myself to give it a fresh spin in 2024. In this revamped version, I've aimed to capture the essence of the band's later mixing style, akin to 'A Hard Day's Night.' By separating the backing vocals from the lead, adjusting instrument placement, and enhancing the drums and bass,
I've injected new life into this beloved track. No pseudo acoustics or artificial stereo effects were used—only authentic enhancements faithful to the original recording. Join me as we rediscover the magic of 'Please Please Me' in a whole new light!-

The Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There - 2024 stereo remix
Quote by
Radio Wollaton : "A new 2024 stereo mix, based on the 2023 Giles Martin version. This is one of his better remixes. The instrumental backing sounds especially good and seems to benefit from the wide panning of instruments, something I'm not normally keen on. I have added stereo backing vocals to the mix. And I have also fixed the abrupt fadeout that was present on the 2023 Red album remix.
This replaces the upload I made a few hours ago! I have reduced the level of the vocals, so the guitars are more prominent now. Thanks to the regular commentators who pointed out my mistake. Unlike some other channels, I don't delete critical reviews, in fact I welcome them. It keeps me on my toes!"
The Beatles 'I Saw Her Standing There' Excitement In The Mix! | New 2024 Remix, Lead Guitar Centered...
Quote by brit2001b: "The 2023 stereo remix of The Beatles' 1963 recording of 'I Saw Her Standing There' marked a significant improvement over all previous mixes of this classic song. Yet, I pondered whether further enhancements were possible. After careful consideration, I realized that George Harrison's lead guitar and embellishments were integral to the song's essence. Why confine them to just one channel, as the 2023 remix does? I proposed highlighting this exceptional guitar work in the center channel, allowing it to radiate from both speakers. My 2024 remix accomplishes just that. By relocating it from the left channel to the center, I achieved better balance and showcased George's early virtuoso performance.
To address the void in the left channel, I distributed John's rhythm guitar across the stereo stage, unexpectedly emphasizing the synergy between the two guitars, a quality that had not stood out to me in previous mixes. In pursuit of extracting even more energy from one of the most dynamic songs ever recorded, I slightly boosted the drums and bass.
By combining the guitars' synergy, McCartney's vibrant vocals, and the subtle boost to the drums and bass, I believe this mix delivers a heightened level of energy! No other alterations were made, and nothing was added that was not part of the original recording. It strictly involves the demixing of instruments and remixing of those elements in a style reminiscent of the era of the original recording.
Please enjoy, and thank you for listening!"
AWWW they're both great fan-made productions Think i'll give the edge to the second one but the first vid has more separation and punch.

Radio Wollaton : "A new 2024 stereo mix, based on the 2023 Giles Martin version. This is one of his better remixes. The instrumental backing sounds especially good and seems to benefit from the wide panning of instruments, something I'm not normally keen on. I have added stereo backing vocals to the mix. And I have also fixed the abrupt fadeout that was present on the 2023 Red album remix.
This replaces the upload I made a few hours ago! I have reduced the level of the vocals, so the guitars are more prominent now. Thanks to the regular commentators who pointed out my mistake. Unlike some other channels, I don't delete critical reviews, in fact I welcome them. It keeps me on my toes!"
The Beatles 'I Saw Her Standing There' Excitement In The Mix! | New 2024 Remix, Lead Guitar Centered...
Quote by brit2001b: "The 2023 stereo remix of The Beatles' 1963 recording of 'I Saw Her Standing There' marked a significant improvement over all previous mixes of this classic song. Yet, I pondered whether further enhancements were possible. After careful consideration, I realized that George Harrison's lead guitar and embellishments were integral to the song's essence. Why confine them to just one channel, as the 2023 remix does? I proposed highlighting this exceptional guitar work in the center channel, allowing it to radiate from both speakers. My 2024 remix accomplishes just that. By relocating it from the left channel to the center, I achieved better balance and showcased George's early virtuoso performance.
To address the void in the left channel, I distributed John's rhythm guitar across the stereo stage, unexpectedly emphasizing the synergy between the two guitars, a quality that had not stood out to me in previous mixes. In pursuit of extracting even more energy from one of the most dynamic songs ever recorded, I slightly boosted the drums and bass.
