2CD edition arrived this morning, it sounds so good. It’s like I’m listening to it for the first time again and that’s the highest compliment I can offer.

I got my deluxe box. I’m impressed with the packaging, especially the 3D cover.

I’ve never seen something packaged so well from Amazon, either. It actually had an inner protective box that was taped.

I’ve turned on my Sgt. Pepper lava lamp and I’m about to watch the Blu-Ray.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Phil Collins in the documentary. I’ve been listening to him a lot recently.

The Beatles’ facebook site asked for questions for a live Q&A with Giles Martin, to celebrate the deluxe edition’s release, so I asked who sang the ahhh section in A Day In The Life . Let’s see if a) they choose my question, and if they do, b) if they confirm what Geoff Emerick said a couple of days ago.

Even when I was 7, and hardly knew the Beatles, I always thought it sounded like the guy I’ve learnt is called John.

I spent most of yesterday watching everyone review the box set, and I’m sitting here wondering why I haven’t started to gather £100. paul-mccartney-facepalm_gif

Even if he confirms it to be John, Paul, or both (it is possible they’re taking turns), I bet there will still be some people saying “Giles wasn’t even born at the time, he’s just guessing”.

I got to think of a good question, do you think non-Sgt. Pepper related questions are allowed. If only Sgt. Pepper questions are allowed, I’ll probably ask if there are any pictures of George playing his Strat during the Sgt. Pepper sessions, I would really like a picture of George playing Rocky when it was just sonic blue.

It will be ‘Pepper’ era only as he is there to promote the 50th-anniversary release. Giles is more into the recording side of Beatles, unlikely he’ll know if he’ll be aware of the photo archives.

That would be very sad because I bet George Martin took quite a few photos of The Beatles back in the day.

I’m a terrible, terrible Beatles fan. I’m not deserving of the title. I’m really not!

My copy of the Super Deluxe box was reay to be collected from the post office near my house (a 5-minute walk away) yesterday. I didn’t go. Then today, I didn’t go and collect it, either. The shops are closed tomorrow, so I won’t be able to go get it until Monday! What kind of fan doesn’t take their sleeping bag and camps out at the pick-up point just to get their grubby little paws on that box-set the moment it arrives? I hang my head in shame… a-hard-days-night-paul-3paul-mccartney-facepalm_gif

 

Having said that, I have listened to the remix and the Deluxe version on Deezer and BLOODY HELL is it good! I was very surprised by She’s Leaving Home , which is considerably faster than what we’ve heard so far. Is that the original speed in which it was recorded? It sounded more natural to me, especially John’s voice. Lovely Rita sounded a bit too chipmunkish to me. Did they record it at half speed to get that effect? It doesn’t sound like Paul’s natural voice at all, but then it never has. It’s a lot more noticeable now, though. Having said that, I was blown away by the clarity of the entire thing. I love how previously buried sounds are now clearly heard and yes, Penny Lane take 6 was a revelation. It was even better to hear the remix version right after that, in which some of those weird sounds can be heard.

 

I’m very much looking forward to all the bonus material in the Super Deluxe set. Not just the music and stuff, but also the book and the posters. I’m kind of hoping they won’t have such extravagant boxes for the White Album and Abbey Road , though. I might go bankrupt if they do! My guess would be that they most likely won’t do a massive project for Yellow Submarine and LIB , so there’s that….haha. john-lennon-salute_gif

You don’t have to own The Beatles music to be a fan, I don’t actually own any Beatles music and I consider myself a fan.

It becomes like an alternate version of Where’s Wally? – Where the feck’s take 6? and then you spot that piece of machine gun percussion under a roll from Ringo, and you go, “Ooo!”, and start finding fragments less obvious than the last cymbal.

Don’t know if this should go here or not, but the stereo, “She’s Leaving Home ” on the 2017 remix is slightly quicker than the stereo version we have previously known. The disc labeled, “original 1967 mono mix” is the same speed as the new 2017 mix, so it’s slower than the mono version we have known.

From the sounds of it, there are a lot of thumbs up for the new release.  Great!!! I have not bought it yet and I will at a later date. I will be listening to the mono and stereo versions on the 2nd, here coming up. I have not listened to any tracks from SPLHCB now for some time now to build the next listen up the excitement of hearing it again!

I do wish I could hear this album all over again for the very first time!!
