· "GET BACK" (THE 1st MIX) - The Beatles

None of the Beatles wanted to face the job of mixing an album from the famous Get Back sessions recordings. Glyn Johns presented his first version of Get Back to the Beatles on May 28, 1969. He made an effort to present the Beatles returning to their roots and playing without overdubs or studio effects. No doubt this was a compelling idea, the results of his efforts were mixed. The Beatles could not agree on releasing that Glyn Johns's first version, so he edited a second version that he presented on January 5, 1970, where he changed a few things. He left off "Teddy Boy" and added "Across the Universe" and "I Me Mine". Paul would later re-record and include "Teddy Boy" on his first solo album McCartney. Mark Lewisohn suggests that the reason Glyn Johns removed "Teddy Boy" was because Paul had informed him that he would include a re-recorded version for his first solo album, which would be released in the spring of 1970. "Across the Universe" had been included on a World Wildlife Fund album and Glyn Johns remixed the recording. Glyn Johns also added "I Me Mine" to this second version of Get Back because it was included in the movie. In one of the early Twickenham sessions, George sings the song to Ringo and starts to work out the parts. The version included in Glyn Johns second mix was recorded several months later, though, on January 3, 1970. Only George, Paul and Ringo appear on this recording because John was vacationing in Denmark at the time. Johns kept most of the studio tom foolery, but he edited out most of the Beatles' sloppy performance of "Save the Last Dance for Me." All that was left of this track from the first Get Back mix was the refrain and the segue into "Don't Let Me Down." Glyn Johns was true to Paul's initial concept for Get Back. Both of the versions of this album that Johns produced presented the Beatles as they were in the studio, "warts and all." Listening to this first mix, though, it's clear why the Beatles were not enthusiastic about them. Rather than creating a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, the Glyn Johns' mixes are often annoying.

· "SGT. PEPPER'S MULTI-TRACK MASTERS" - The Beatles

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is the eighth studio album by The Beatles. It was recorded over a 129-day period beginning on 6 December 1966. Since the introduction of magnetic recording tape in 1949, multitrack recording had been developed. By 1967 all of the Sgt. Pepper tracks could be recorded at Abbey Road using mono, stereo and 4-track recorders. Although 8-track tape recorders were already available in the U.S., the first 8-tracks were not operational in commercial studios in London until late 1967, shortly after "Sgt. Pepper's L.H.C.B." was released. In retrospect, the limitations of EMI's studio technology most likely pushed the Beatles and their production staff to be more inventive and resourceful than they otherwise would have been. Like its predecessors, this recording made extensive use of the technique known as bouncing down (also called multing), in which a number of tracks were recorded across the four tracks of one recorder, which were then mixed and dubbed down onto one track of the master 4-track machine (reduction). This procedure enabled the Abbey Road engineers to give the Beatles a virtual multi-track studio. So here you have four songs from the original 4-track master tape which are featured track-by-track, plus some other additional stuff as Bonus Tracks. Hope you enjoy them.

1-“A Day In The Life” *
10 Feb 67 - E63175 (take 7)

track 1 - piano, guitar, maracas, bongos, alarm clock
track 2 - reduction of: John vocal, Mal counting, Paul vocal (redone), John & Paul "ahhs", piano
track 3 - bass, drums (redone), tambourine
track 4 - sync tone (orchestra)
track 5 - full multi-track stereo mix

Basic recording: 19 Jan 1967
Additional recording: 19-20 Jan, 3-10-22 Feb 1967
Master tape: 4 track 2nd generation + 4 track [2 tapes]
Mono-mixed: Mix A: 22 Feb 1967. Edited-Crossfaded: 6 Apr 1967
Stereo-mixed: Mix B: 23 Feb 1967. Edited-Crossfaded: 20 Apr 1967
New mix: 1995. Edited

The orchestra was recorded on 4 tracks of a separate 4-track tape [take 7] and synchronized during mixing with the Beatles tape [take 6]. The edit is for the final note, recorded separately. The crossfade joins the beginning to the preceding song, "Sgt Pepper Reprise". For the "1967-1970" collection and on a 1978 single, the crossfade is just cut off, so the song begins later than its real beginning. The original mix, without crossfade, appeared on the film soundtrack LP and CD "Imagine: John Lennon". The same original mix, also including a countdown that is not heard under the crossfade, appeared in a 1967 promo film.

2-"Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band" *
6 Mar 67 - E63022 (take 10)
track 1 - reduction of: instrumental backing + bass
track 2 - atmosphere (tuning and audience)
track 3 - brass + lead guitar
track 4 - reduction of: lead and chorus vocals + harmony vocals
track 5 - full multi-track stereo mix 
 
Basic recording: 1 Feb 1967
Additional recording: 1-2 Feb, 3-6 Mar 1967
Master tape: 4 track 2nd generation
Mono-mixed: 6 Mar 1967. Crossfaded: 6 Apr 1967
Stereo-mixed: 6 Mar 1967. Crossfaded: 7 Apr 1967
Re-mastered and re-mixed again: 1999 for the "Yellow Submarine Songtrack"

The crossfade joins this song to “With a Little Help From My Friends”. The lead guitar starting around "I don't really want to stop the show" is louder in the mono mix, while barely there in stereo. The crowd noise differs between the two and the crossfade is less well hidden in mono. The Yellow Submarine Songtrack mix re-synchs the old multitracks again and brings us a cleaner version, this time in richer stereo than on the original "Sgt. Pepper" stereo LP. Paul's vocals and Ringo's drums are centered, while the backing vocals and the sound of the crowd has been moved about a bit.

3-"She's Leaving Home" *
20 Mar 67 - E63631 (take 9)
track 1 - reduction of: harp + violins
track 2 - reduction of: double bass + 2 violas + 2 cellos
track 3 - vocals
track 4 - harmony vocals
track 5 - full multi-track stereo mix
 
Basic recording: 17 Mar 1967
Additional recording: 20 Mar 1967
Master tape: 4 track 2nd generation
Mono-mixed: 20 Mar 1967. Edited
Stereo-mixed: 17 Apr 1967. Edited

A short amount of instrumental work between the verses was removed after the mixing was done, so both mixes are edited. Reverb had been added during mixing, and the edits are a little more obvious in stereo, just before Paul starts singing the second and third verses. The two mixes are at different speeds since mono mix was speeded up.

4-"With A Little Help From My Friends" *
30 Mar 67 - E63462 (take 11)
track 1 - reduction of: piano, guitar, drums, cowbell and organ intro
track 2 - guitar piece, tambourine, bass, drum intro
track 3 - Ringo vocal, John & Paul vocal
track 4 - John & Paul vocals, organ intro, guitar piece
track 5 - full multi-track stereo mix
 
Basic recording: 29 Mar 1967
Additional recording: 29-30 Mar 1967
Master tape: 4 track 3rd generation
Mono-mixed: 31 Mar 1967. Crossfaded: 6 Apr 1967
Stereo-mixed: 7 Apr 1967. Crossfaded: 7 Apr 1967.
Re-mastered and re-mixed again: 1999 for the "Yellow Submarine Songtrack"

The crossfade joins this to the preceding song, “Sgt Pepper”, but the songs do not overlap; rather, crowd noise runs from one through to the other. This song starts right before the announcement "Billy Shears!", which is more readily apparent as a change in ambience in mono, since louder crowd noise covers the join better in stereo. The "Yellow Submarine Songtrack" mix re-synchs the old multitracks again and brings us a cleaner version, this time in richer stereo than on the original "Sgt. Pepper" stereo LP. Vocals and drums has especially benefitted from this mix.

track 21 – When I’m 64 (take 4 - Original speed)

· "2120 South Michigan Avenue, The Chess Sessions 1964-65" - The Rolling Stones

When Chess Records was founded (as Aristocrat in 1947), the company did not have a recording studio, and over the following decade it recorded most of its artists at Universal Recording Studio (at various locales in Chicago). Finally, the company established a first-rate in-house studio – called Chess Studios – in 1957, when it relocated to 2120 South Michigan Avenue. The studio featured a set of matched echo chambers. In 1958, Chess hired Malcolm Chisholm, who had been the engineer for a considerable number of recordings for Chess when the company was recording at Universal, as sound engineer. When he left, he was replaced in 1960 by Ron Malo, who stayed with the studio until its demise in 1975. Malo upgraded the studio and ran the sound into dual echo chambers in the basement. That’s the reason why almost all the Chess artists were recorded with echo, sometimes to excess. Among the legendary blues and rock ’n’ roll artists recorded in this studio were Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Howlin’ Wolf, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. The company also built an impressive jazz series, and recorded such artists as the Ramsey Lewis Trio, Ahmad Jamal and Sonny Stitt. Malo supervised the engineering at recording sessions for most of the company’s artists, which by the 1960s meant primarily soul artists: Etta James, the Dells and Billy Stewart, for example. Malo was also the engineer for many sessions with outside artists. In June 1964 the Rolling Stones, seeking to emulate the sound of their legendary blues heroes, came to Chicago to record at the Chess studio; the studio produced half of the tracks on their USA album 12x5, and even one of the songs on that album was titled in tribute ‘2120 South Michigan Avenue.’ The Rolling Stones subsequently recorded about 20 more tracks at Chess during 1964-65. So here are, most of them directly transferred from the original stereo master tapes for the first time, those songs from the three Rolling Stones’ recording sessions at Chess Studios including such gems as “Goodbye Girl” (the first song written by Bill Wyman which was recorded on November 1964 but never released); the never released blues standard “Key To The Highway”; or the unreleased 1964 version of “Mercy, Mercy”; as well as the rare original stereo mix of “Satisfaction”.
