My thoughts about the new mixes Andrew, i like the Red album mixes, well most of them anyway, the blue album a few on there are a bit......, i still prefer most of the mixes for "The Yellow Submarine Songtrack" over the 2023 mixes to be honest.

What can I say? The Blue Album wasn't too much of a surprise having the Deluxe Boxsets. Though lovely to get new mixes of Revolution, Hey Bulldog, Old Brown Shoe. But the Red Album was wow! ! The depth of the audio picture was stunning. Not just the vocals and the instruments, but the space between them all to. Ringo's drumming on Can't Buy Me Love is like a metronome, superb. Lennon's harmonica coming to the fore. George Harrison's vocals coming out of the fog on You've Really Got A Hold On Me. McCartney's bass is now a real force. Words just fail me for how good these mixes are. Surely the remaining albums deserve this treatment. I'm grinning like a Cheshire Cat 😸

Free As a Bird and Real Love were made and released in 1995/1996 and have no connection to either 1973 nor 2023. If anything, they should remix the whole Anthology release.

Those two songs were "single" handedly responsible with the documentary for a full on Beatles renaissance in the mid-90s. It's a huge part of the Beatles story and very meaningful for a lot of people who were kids/teens/20s in the 1990s. The 1 album would not have sold the insane amount it did without FAAB, RL and the Anthology documentary a few years before really ramping up Beatlemania again. So I agree, they should be on such an expansive "best of" collection like this. 75 tracks and no room for two top 5 hit singles? Crazy.

Probably the original plan was to simply reissue 2LP editions of the classic Red and Blue, but with remixes, and Now and Then/Love Me Do was going be a stand-alone single. Then someone at Apple or Universal said "Wait, if we put Now and Then and bonus tracks on Red and Blue, we can make a lot more money!", but the LP1 and LP2 for Red and Blue were already pressed, so the bonus tracks had to go on a LP3, and they just shoved it into the slot with LP2, because they didn't have time or the want to redesign the package for 3 vinyl discs. But the CDs had not been pressed yet because the turn around time is much shorter for CD, and there's space on the 2 CDs so you don't have to add a third and change the packaging style, so they had time and capacity to re-order the tracks chronologically and properly for the CDs. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Blue New Stuff I like: I am the walrus, the idea was to keep it with John's ending mix twist. Only this time not completely treble/fake stereo horrific way of doing it. And they did good with that, vs Love 2006 mix where it's more dry and full modern stereo. John was very critical of some of the mixes of the original Red/Blue, espcially with Revolution. It's nice Giles tried to not do what he or maybe fans wanted but maybe what John would have wanted for I Am The Walrus remastered in 2023. Magical Mystery Tour WOW amazing mix! A Day In the Life. while 2017 mix it's a clean start!! Red New Stuff I like alot: From Me To You I Saw Her Standing There Rollover Beethoven All My Loving These mixes are AMAZING She Loves You = while not a bad mix, I was surprised they didn't go crazier with this mix. There are fan mixes I enjoy more I feel like. I was hoping the drums would have had more stereo. I know this is one of the harder ones, but while I love Love Me Do 2023 I was hoping more out of She Loves You in 2023. Either way, Red/Blue is nice to hear MMT, Rubber Soul, and some others and of course Early Beatles stuff in a modern stereo mix. CD, Spotify, LP, I don't care how you want to hear it, it's still going to be a better mix than most of 2009 and before!

My CD's arrived this morning, and like yourself I put them onto my computer and then onto my phone and my I-Pod (Yes I still use my beloved I-Pod) I bought a pair of Bose headphones in the Jan sales and have never really used them, until today, and they are amazing. I have been dipping in and out of both the red and the blue all day on my breaks at work and I have to say on first listen I love them both. The ones I'm liking so far are Hard Days Night, Day Tripper, She Loves You, all of the newly remixed Rubber Soul tracks, Yesterday, Hey Bulldog, I am The Walrus and Dear Prudence. What can I say about the Rubber Soul tracks except to say that this bodes well for the Rubber Soul Super Deluxe Box, these mixes to me sound superb. But I must stress that at the moment I've only been listening through my new bluetooth wireless headphones. But these mixes are bringing out some great stuff that has always been there, but not as noticeable on other mixes, like Ringo's Bongos on A Hard Days Night. I've always loved how during Gorge's solo on Daytripper Paul seems to take his bass onto another melody completely and it's always blown my mind a bit, and on this mix it seems so much sharper and clearer. There is so much to take in and enjoy, and over the weekend I will be listening to all of these albums through my speakers. I have the CD'S at the moment and will look to invest in the vinyl copies in the new year, and give them a listen through my speakers. Overall I'm happy with these albums and really liking what I'm hearing.

They sound good and nice to hear extra details. Made for a modern audience though! I'll always prefer the original mono mixes as that's how it was intended. I'm aware if they had the option at the time maybe they would have separated everything, but as they didn't.. that's part of the sound recording on 4 track tape machines where frequencies blend together with the limitations. I don't wanna hear the beatles mixed in protools really, trying to compete with modern sounds (which have no character) Hope they don't do this with Pet Sounds. Brian intended to use blending of bounce downs. This ideology is taking the 60s production out of it.

I also personally would've added Helter Skelter in place of Glass Onion or added I've Got a Feeling. I know they didnt want to drop anything from the original albums but the b-side Old Brown Shoe feels even more out of place now and could've been replaced by another song or to make room for the Anthology songs. Hopefully this leads to new mixes of the studio albums we have yet to get new updated mixes from especially Rubber Soul.

Magical mystery tour...the end piano, sounds like it's in a subway.totally killer. Headphones don't suffice. Laptop and phone speakers, no way. 12' speakers pushing from across the room. Absolutely killer.the thump on a song like Michelle is awesome. Girl...amazing. fool on the hill and I am the walrus, the amount of space for all the instruments and piano and acoustic guitars and vocals and symphony is just beautiful. Paul's bass performance on old brown shoe is probably his most fat,beefy, and ruthless performance on bass he ever did. That song is amazing and always was. There's so much to say,honestly. Like I said at first I was like yea whatever. But now I want the cds and vinyl. It'll wait a year till they're priced down. I just got the let it be deluxe vinyl set from Amazon,for 15$. No lie.somebody posted it for sale for like 70$ something, I ordered it and two days later it was cancelled.and the price went back up to 109.XX$ so I contacted em, and they said if I bought it for that price, they'd honor the original price I got it for 2 days before.they typed it all in ,all i had to do was type to support, and than rather than refunding me like 40 something, they gave back like 91$. And I paid 115 with tax so yea I got the 5lp for like 14-15$ scooreee

I Disagree, the new remixes haven't replaced the originals, they're still readily available to buy and stream. In a lot of cases the original versions are more accessible than the new mixes. Ultimately Paul, Ringo and the Lennon/Harrison estates have final say on these mixes so if they felt they are below par they wouldn't be put out. I certainly welcome the balance that the old mono albums and badly lopsided stereo versions now give.... Still doesn't stop me listening to the old ones either. If you don't like them don't listen.

Hi Andrew; I got my CD boxset from the Beatles' store today (10 Nov) which was nice, and first quick listens are very favourable (through Bose Headphones).... I like the new mixes on the Red album, but need to hear them through my speakers as well, however, the separation of all the instruments and voices throughout is just stunning! I've heard things in the orchestrations that I've never been able to pick out clearly before, and little 'twiddly' guitar parts too; these were always there, but kind of buried in the previous mix.... 😃 I think Giles Martin and his team, along with the Peter Jackson/Wingnut MAL software on the early mono tracks, have done amazing work on both album sets; the clarity is stunning, and the mixes are very nicely done... 👍 I look forward to getting more in-depth listening on days off next week.... 😉

Hello Andrew, great review. Been listening to the Red vinyl version today. Sounds great, records are flat and quiet, and the packaging and sleeves are high quality (2 albums in one sleeve notwithstanding). I still play original Capitol red and blue albums from the 1970's that I've enjoyed since about age 11. I am VERY disappointed the "James Bond" soundtrack intro was removed before Help. While I also listen to British versions of the Help album without the intro, it was still quite jarring to drop the needle onto Side 3 and hear "Help! I need somebody..." without that great intro which is embedded into my brain from playing the Red album the past 45 years. Thanks for the review! - Tony

I grew up with the blue album (but not the red) as my only Beatles to listen to. I of course heard numerous other Beatles songs on the radio but this was my collection from middle school on. I’ve recently started buying vinyl again and I’m excited to not only have this album again but to also have the new song included so I don’t have to buy the single for one song

Hi Andrew. I really enjoy You Really Got a Hold On Me with John's vocal and you hear George so well on the backing vocal. Also, rather than the cymbals crashing, I love the two guitars with George and John, such a fantastic sound. The whole song is much improved and one of my favorite early tracks. I Am The Walrus, much like you, I love this song more with John's vocal and Giles turning up the juice on the radio mix. That, to me, is a stunning work. I love the fade out, rather than the boring symphonic mix, this dynamic mix of sounds are so much "John and Paul" at their best ! This is the mix that they will be talking about for many years to come. Genius ! Can't wait for more of your talk on the new albums. Take care.

I think the new mixes sound brilliant, which is why I'm disappointed that several of the tracks included are 2015 mixes, which were done long before this new technology was available So we hear songs like A Hard Day's Night and Revolution sounding brand new and with astonishing clarity, particularly in regards to the drums, while songs like Help and Lady Madonna don't.

Yeah I can understand leaving the post 2017 mixes alone because they were done by Giles Martin, but anything before then should have had a new mix. Most of the blue album is just previous mixes we’ve heard before. Edit: Found out Giles Martin remixed the 2015 mixes so my understanding of it is wrong.
@bendowson3124

Help is a new mix. For the songs from 1967 onwards the AI technology is mostly unnecessary due to the way that tracks were bounced down meaning they were able to separate everything using the pre-bounced tapes.

“She loves you” sounds like it could be a needle drop, which would be odd, the distortion increases towards the end of the track.
@vinylarchaeologist

There are theories that She Loves You is partly needle-drop sourced, but this must’ve happened some time in the 1960s. I don’t have the original single, but apparently it does not have the jarring edits, where the high-end suddenly pretty much disappears. Take it with a grain of salt, but the idea has been put forth that there must have been some damage to the master tape, so they patched in some parts from vinyl.

I had one listen so far to the new mixes on KZitem (waiting for the cds to come). So far my reaction ranges from "good" to "amazing!" I'm sure there will be some people who gripe or nitpick on things but overall these remixes are a success in my opinion.

The issue with the “new vinyl” is that it is digitally remastered, so you might as well buy it in digital format anyway. Shame the original quality of the analogue quality is now lost. A 192khz/24bit download will sound better on a decent system. A nice Rega turntable 👍

The new red album sets, contains 9 of the 16 tracks released on the Rubber Soul album & single in 1966. Doesn't leave as much left to wait for, apart from the outtakes etc, if ever the SDE is released in the future. I think it's pretty obvious, that the whole album is already fully remixed 2023 style, sitting waiting . Will I buy a Rubber Soul Deluxe Box in the future , YOU BET I WILL. Thanks Andrew for another great video.

I really enjoyed this Red Blue 2023 Remix Vinyl first view and your CD version preview. I hope they would also remix the Anthology albums and make the songs at optimum clarity and other sound improvements using the MAL and as Giles Martin mixing to complete all The Beatles Album Discography. The same for the Past Masters compilation album.

Great video Andrew, thank you. It would have been easy to put the Red LP in chronological order, as they are all basically three minute songs, any six-seven per side would work. I bet the Blue LP was the problem. The wide range of songs length makes that a difficult jigsaw puzzle to assemble a different way. And if the Blue LP had to have a third "new" disk, it makes sense to do the Red LP the same way. CDs one order, LPs another, the kids will stream and randomize them anyway, I'm just glad to have the new mixes.

My thoughts are more about the 1995 and 1996 studio singles. I want to get an E.P. all three singles Free As A Bird, Real Love, and Now And Then and a new find of another secret song with George or Paul on what needs to be George. Paul did a great job on Now And Then.

Maybe it’s been mentioned somewhere along the line, but I see no mention in the credits or liner notes regarding which have remixes and who all was involved in putting these together. I realize its available at point of sale, but seems a little short sighted.
