Having Jimmy Fallon recreate some shitty Beatles outtake really is my greatest dream. I think I just tinkled a little.

The fucking obsession with this piece of noodling bullshit. Never mind that the ship has sailed as it was part of the Pepper sessions. That has been exhausted with the 50th box. BeatlesObsessive is a full-on prick. That section in bold didn't go unnoticed. Thrivingonariff: BeatlesObsessive: Fuuuuuuuccckkk ooooffffff.

Last one (otherwise I'll have another heart attack) - apparently 2141 is sensitive enough to be offended by a 40 year-old joke.

You know, the Beatles had a great sense of humour, individually and collectively. What the hell is wrong with so many of their fans?

You mean besides the fact they are retarded alt-right entitled boomer shut-ins? I haven't a clue.

They're boomers with hoarding issues and a lot of empty hours in their days. None of them actually listen to this stuff for simple enjoyment. It's about collecting stuff and rating it and doing shoot-outs with their previously purchased stuff, with some benign tribalism thrown in.
I say that as a Beatles fan who hasn't spent money on any Beatles product in decades. These records that are getting their 50th Anniversary cash-ins are a settled matter for me, records that were purchased more than a generation ago. They're products of their own time. The album was mixed in '68. That's the way it sounds. The outatkes and demos and rough sessions weren't intended for public consumption, and for good reason: they're outatkes and demos and rough sessions.
There's no reason to buy this stuff again. This 50th anniversary package all these SHFers are giddy about is just an expensive set of commemorative plates to be displayed next to all the other commemorative garbage on their ever-expanding shelves.
I said before that I'll probably grab this stuff off a torrent site when it shows up, listen to it once or twice on the train, then trash it - but to be honest I may not even bother with this one. The whole "50th Anniversary" thing has become tedious.

The idea of buying multiple versions of an album for a shoot-out (what a shit phrase) is one of the most joyless ways to approach what is essentially disposable pop music. It sucks the joy out of the entire listening process if you're critically evaluating it while it's playing. I totally agree that these guys simply don't seem capable of enjoying the act of listening to music.

The idea of buying multiple versions of an album for a shoot-out (what a shit phrase) is one of the most pathetic ways to approach life. Yeah, that's more like it. The two aspects of it that I simply don't get are a) why waste your money (like those goons crowing about buying that new Macca album eleventy billion times over) other than to show you're not one of the poors and b) what happens with all of those duplicate copies? If I were a member of I dunno...Chicago?, with multiple masterings of the same recording, and some 'fan' told me they had seven different pressings of Chicago V, I'd be out of there quicker than you could say 'restraining order'. Do these have a version for when they're feeling sad, or a preferred mastering for when one of the band dies and this one hurts, or another one for sexy times with their right hand?

Likely similar here -- torrent or rip a stream if it sounds interesting. I'm A-OK with some LP's in my home of the remastered and that's about all I need. My $ is usually spent on something I haven't heard 100 times over already.

Yeah this is the part that should blow a hole in STeVE’s various stories of people he’s remasterbated being all excited about it. I am no expert but it seems to me unless the original got really botched, most artists move on and really don’t give a shit except for doing their part to promote a reissue if they have a financial stake in it. The SHites always ask “why don’t the artists care?” then easily accept McCartney or Dylan or Steve Miller slobbering over daddy’s “work”.

Reissues are about cash flow, nothing else.

There actual sound quality issues out there. There are certain CDs which are more or less objectively bad/defective. Most of the examples I can think of actually are ones Hoffman had a hand in, but there are other examples (certain early Rolling Stones cds of their sixties work, or those McCartney 1993 cds which, while far from awful or unlistenable, at least soundwise, are not as good as other versions).
But when they start using fluffy nonsense words like something being too "bright" then it's all just bullshit. You have to know something is wrong when they complain about the 2009 Beatles disks. That's the best this shit has ever sounded. I don't quite know what the issue is. Maybe they subscribe so much to the cult of STeVE that anything that doesn't sound like it was remasturbated to his weird standards is somehow bad.
Last time I remember really griping about sound quality was when my friend played me a Sparks CD. I forget which one, but it's one that for some reason gets treated like public domain and has been reissued on half a dozen budget labels, usually from dubious sources. It was full of sibilance, and I couldn't help but wonder aloud if better cds of it existed.
