Sorry, my previous comment was posted under the wrong article. Please Ignore. I have reposted under the Abbey road review.

Rob, are you planning to do something similar for the Lennon or upcoming McCartney remasters? I did a quick check on Woman from Double Fantasy. I have a mid ’90′s Capitol pressing, a 2000 re-issue with bonus tracks and the 2010 Stripped Down vwrsion, with the original mix as disc 2 (!?). There was also a Geffen records CD, I don’t have that one. After adjusting levels to 0.0 dB it appears to me that the original mid ’90′s pressing has the most dynamic range. The 2000 re-issue is the worst, and the 2010 remaster is somewhere in between. Strange Days Indeed!

Oh Beatles! Yey! I grew up listening to it and hearing it again reminds me of my childhood.

Two things:

* I’ve always assumed that “ahh” in “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” was a punch-in artifact — an earlier vocal take that was (mostly) covered up by the subsequent punch-in.

* Thanks for clearing up that “Slow Down” line. I’ve always tried to figure out what John’s mistaken double-track was there, but never could quite make it out.

Wayne, it’s John singing the “ahhs.” I’ll see if I can isolate those vocals when I get home. If so, I’ll post an audio clip.

okay…great stuff….i think you’re right on rain…..now ,can we prove once and for all who does the “ahhs” in the middle of A Day in the Life?…I have always contended it was Paul but most think it was John…Help!

“I only have grandchildren,” or “I don’t even have grandchildren” is what it SOUNDS like he’s saying at the end of Hey Bulldog, but you’re right. It doesn’t make any sense. I figured Rob or someone else might be a definitive source on the topic, but I guess it’s just all down to guessing. Thanks Tim.

Also just thought I’d say that I listened to my 2 copies of Please Please me on Vinyl and I have both the original and corrected versions. I was pretty happy about that!
