Last night I picked up a copy of the CD super deluxe box. Three of us were looking at the packaging and I commented that someone on here had advised that the font used was different. They didn't believe me, so we got out a copy of the original vinyl, the 2009 digipak CD and compared them with a copy of the new remix vinyl. Lo and behold, the font was different! They were stunned! We then compared the four photos on each cover, particularly the two vinyl albums. The original LP cover shots had a lot more grain and the skin tones were pink in hue. In comparison, on the new LP cover the four photos of the Fabs looked softer (or blurry as one of us put it) and the skin tones were green in hue! A couple of hours later, I come on here to find half a dozen pages of discussion about over use of digital noise reduction, image smearing, over use of colour boost etc in the trailer (including screenshot comparisons)....... Man the world's a funny place!! |

Sorry for repeating myself, but I really want Giles Martin to gather every tape, hard drive and reel of film and make the biggest bonfire that ever existed and tell them “there you go wankers, no more complaining!”.

Theory: anyone who purchases anything labeled "super deluxe" is a motherfucking idiot. Because anyone who buys a "super deluxe" box has already bought the material in question *at least* 3 or 4 times before, guaranteed. Go ahead. Prove me wrong. You won’t be offending me. I know there are member here who buy them and god bless ‘‘em but sorry, I can’t do it. There’s a reason most of the outtakes never got released. The R**h box sets are a perfect example. The same album, re-released for the upteenth time and some live recordings, from a band that already released nine million live albums. |

I can think of at least a few so-called “super deluxe” sets that were mostly newly-unearthed stuff from vault dives. Granted, much of the material might only appeal to major fans (and some could be absolute shit). But, there are sets out there where the original album’s tracks make up just a small portion of the entire running time. |

I wouldn’t want Giles to do that. The fact the SHites hate him so much is absolutely delicious! The Beatles (and their estates) obviously see value in what he is doing (and I think his remixes are often quite good). But, with the SHites getting so bothered, pissed off, angry, unhappy, and downright miserable, what’s not to love? Long may Giles Martin torment Beatarded SHites everywhere! |

I download plenty of those super deluxe sets, but 9 times out of 10 it’s listened to once and then forgotten. If I were actually paying for music, I wouldn’t be caught dead wasting money on that crap.

The skip button got a workout. Dunno if I’ll keep it on there for long. Fuck me Long And Winding Road is a dreadful song! |

He's one of the guests on the Rockonteurs podcast that Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt do. He alludes to Beatards and seems like a really nice bloke that actually knows his shit. |

I’ve never heard an interview with him that wasn’t entertaining.

I’m sure it’s been mentioned, but it’s really annoying that the remixed single version of Don’t Let Me Down has 30 seconds of chat before the music starts, rendering the track almost totally useless for any purpose aside from listening to it in this context. What were they thinking? |
