Enough with the speculation. And yes, bucko, you heard it here at SC first. Because my secret source with his ear to the ground has revealed that it's one of these albums. Place your voat and win a free, autographed (by STEVE, not by the hacks on the album) copy of STEVE's latest PROJECT.

Are you sure of your sources? They all seem a bit high profile for old Hoofer but I'm sure he'd make a mess of any of the them. But as 90125 Live: The Solos is the greatest album EVER I voted for that.

I was gonna say he has been working on the Jerry Fisher-era Blood Sweat and Tears albums...

The Sgt Pepper soundtrack. It has to be. He probably begged for it as it's the nearest he will ever get to the Beatles tapes.

There's historical significance here.

It seems like the recent reports of STeVE remastering an album of Beatles interviews was erroneous. It turns out the project is actually an LP of interviews of the Beatles' fans...

The only special project I want to hear about Hoffman doing is returning the goddamn master tapes he stole.

John Travolta's 1974 self titled album could use daddy's warm breath of death mastering. It must be that one.

The LP mentioned above looks to have already been reissued – with a different sleeve. Anyway, the album features a bunch of airheaded Beatle fans talking about how amazing the group is. The interesting thing about hearing it now, is that if you can get past the high-pitched voices of the young women, their mindless blather about how freaking wonderful the Beatles are, is like an audio version of any Beatles thread at SH.tv.

The real reason SHiTEs are so misogynistic -- girls, GIRLS ruining their chances of seeing their favorite band live.
Or perhaps a little jealousy?

I just listened to all of it, and I am going to have to disagree with you here, Susan. Those young women are a lot more thoughtful, rational and joyous than any SHite. I guess it helps that 1) they don't have a lifetime's worth of bitter failure and bottled up hatred scorching their souls, and 2) I am willing to wager that most of them put this silliness behind them, oh, 13 months after the big Shea show. I guess it was the girls' NY accents that made them seem dim... You are correct about them being joyous. Their exuberance is the polar opposite to the SHites, who seem absolutely miserable as they dutifully nitpick the exact same music they've nitpicked endlessly since the sixties. (To be honest with you, I think I once even owned a copy of this LP. I remember it being more interesting than the other "Beatle Talk" albums of the same period.)

Yeah, those kids were just having a great time, enjoying the moment. As opposed to fretting over matrix numbers and who mastered their copies of Beatles '65. I had heard of this record, but had never actually heard it before. I expected to only be able to stand a few minutes of it, but listened to the whole thing because I found it surprisingly insightful. I assumed it would be just another cynical, condescending cash-in (like those other Beatle Talk albums you mention), but it really isn't that. The producers of the record seem genuinely interested in looking at the phenomenon and listening to what those kids have to say. The only ones who come off badly, and deservedly so, are the cops (like the guy in his Archie Bunker voice saying "Dey stink! Da woist!"). The older black gentleman I found really interesting. He is making a real fair-minded effort to answer the question, trying to understand this Beatles thing, acknowledging that their music is derived from African-American music, but admitting that they way they approach it "doesn't make sense to me." He is not being at all condescending or dismissive, just genuinely puzzled. It is really to the producers' credit that they made sure to include that on the record. Some of those kids' accents are amazing, though. You just don't hear such pure accents like THAT in NYC anymore. That kid near the end, you half-expect him to yell "youse guys wanna play some stickball?!" at any second. (And even he has some intelligent things to say, re the cops). Obviously, when I first wrote about this album here, I was being quite facetious. But, in actuality, the album is a pretty decent document of the tail end of Beatlemania – even though nobody interviewed for the record knew it at the time. There are many things that you can glean about that time, including that the whole "bigger than Christ"/record burnings brouhaha was likely not as big as its legend has become (if the fans' comments are anything to go by). And that the girls seemed to be becoming aware that their reaction to the group (screaming, etc.) was getting to be somewhat ritualized. As a kid, I had read in some Beatles guidebook that this album was something to avoid as it had no Beatles music on it, and that it was "an obvious cash grab" (or something to that effect). However, more than 50 years on, the LP likely has more historical significance than its producers ever figured it would have. (At least more than "Hear the Beatles Tell All".)

I hear the masters have been pulled for this: Get ready for some tube-y magic!
