Beatles - Past Masters 2LP
NEW. SEALED.
Capitol Records
Sourced From the Original Master Tapes!
Pressed on 180 gram vinyl
Cut at Abbey Road Studios
A two-volume set tying up loose ends, single releases and B-sides. But frankly, when your loose ends include 'Hey Jude’, then it still probably qualifies as essential listening. There’s a bit of filler here (nobody but a Germanic completist needs to hear 'Sie Liebt Dich’) but there are a lot of absolute classics, especially on disc 2, which includes the barrelhouse 'Lady Madonna’, the droning psychedelic 'Rain’ (the whole of Oasis’s career in one song) and Harrison’s lovely 'Old Brown Shoe’. It ends with their final B-side, 'You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)’.
A team consisting of some of the best producers and engineers in the recording industry were brought together and would spend 4 long years mixing and mastering with some of the most state of the art recording equipment. Treating these records much like a science experiment, engineers ran extensive tests before copying the analog master tapes over into a digital format using 24-bit/192 kHz resolution, and carefully removing clicks, vocal pops and poor edits. Never altering the original songs themselves, just polishing them up a bit.
