No promises, but I'll be as on it as I can be. :)Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17565760365090993595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594252593945843033.post-24197567874166229342009-05-11T14:53:00.000-04:002009-05-11T14:53:00.000-04:00THanks for the reply.

Totally understand your wanting to stick to the most available versions, but it would be very interesting to hear your thoughts on how a given track compares across various versions - 1987 CD/Anthology/Dr Ebbert/Stereo/Mono etc. I've just started getting into the Purple CHick stuff and some tracks - eg. 'Taxman' - seem to my ear to be very much more immediate and enjoyable jcarvillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594252593945843033.post-17900444145573918052009-05-10T21:05:00.000-04:002009-05-10T21:05:00.000-04:00I didn't know that about the 1987 disc remasters; ...I didn't know that about the 1987 disc remasters; I would have thought those were the album versions. I assume Purple Chick 'released' the original mixes. I agree that the September remasters will be new mixes, but that doesn't bother me. Then again, I have high expectations of them.troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846187742319627525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594252593945843033.post-90893414497509401972009-05-10T15:17:00.000-04:002009-05-10T15:17:00.000-04:00The descending guitar riff on this one is great.

What's interesting to me about the discussion on mixes is that the original mixes (mono, stereo) of Rubber Soul have never been officially released (the 1987 CD was a new remix) and likely never will be (I'm guessing the September reissues will be brand new mixes?).life of the beatleshttp://lifeofthebeatles.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594252593945843033.post-57615189266832159212009-05-10T01:36:00.000-04:002009-05-10T01:36:00.000-04:00I'm listening to official CDs, jcarvill, purposefu...I'm listening to official CDs, jcarvill, purposefully-- under the assumption that that's what most people have. Most are stereo, but sometimes the videos I post use mono instead. (I have a lot of vinyl, but none of it particularly special, all picked up in yard sales and thrift shops in my broke-ass youth, with only a few notable exceptions.

The Beatles loved them some 12-bar blues, no?troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846187742319627525noreply@blogger.com
