But it's all more of the same. And if Eric Barrett didn't rate these other takes when he was on the job back in the day, as highly over the others that did seep out onto the black market - why? Because there were better takes to be heard and we've all been listening to them since 1989. I also shudder at the thought of these new 5.1 surround mixes that will probably (I'm guessing here) separate out the various instruments. Were they that great players? Were the recordings that good, having been bounced from 4-track to 4-track to 2-track, with more overdubs back to 4-track? The biggest mistake the Beatles' ever made was keeping in with George Martin, who couldn't produce "rock music" to save his life and not going off to Los Angeles' Gold Star Studios where the "real" producers lived. They should have had somebody like Paul Rothschild on the boards.
