Ok, here are some photos of George. (Yes, I know, but it's my name, too! ) I'll get the tripod out later for the register shots but at least you'll see what he looks like. He joins his sister Rosie, a JG 330/6. Time to go play.

Oh my. I just played for about an hour. I didn't want to put it down. I was playing through a Blues Jr. straight with no compression and the chords just melted around me. Can't wait to hook up the gig gear. On top of that it is easy to play. I thought I might have some trouble but it plays easier ...

Glad to see others are getting theirs, too. Congratulations. I received the call today that my long-awaited C63 arrived in the store at Rhoads Music. I didn't want to see it shipped out in the cold so it's off for a drive through central PA tomorrow. (Actually, I don't think I could stand the wait ...

I hope you cherish your time of being young and semi-broke, It passes quickly.
.. well the young part anyway


Yep. I'll second that. Every year goes faster. Guess it's an exponential function. Before you know it you'll be middle-aged and really broke with a couple of kids in college! :D But ...

When you load "Rubber Soul" or "Help!" disks from the mono box into your player you'll see [1965 Stereo Mix] after the titles on the stereo tracks. I've looked through my collection of Capital vinyl and I must have lost Rubber Soul in college...arrrrghgh! I have that false start somewhere, I know it ...

Jake,

#3. "I'm Looking Through You" - One false start? (I remember the version where it stops completely...this isn't it.), matches on the right, vocals right with guitar fill, acoustic with instruments on left.

#2. "It's Only Love." John's vocal on "... 's only..." disappears from the double ...

Good morning Jake,

Here's what my trip in to work revealed today.

#5. "Help!" - Honestly, I don't know which of John's vocals is used but there is no tambourine on the mono chorus and it is clearly there on the stereo version.
#4. "The Word" - I'm hearing John's vocal far right with 1 harmony line ...

Jake,

Cool, I have homework. But I'm not exactly sure what the questions are as you appear to be comparing not only the mono/stereo 09 remasters but also original album versions from two different markets. I've tried to narrow things down. Are these about right?

1. "Dizzy MIss LIzzie": What are ...

Jake,

Don't mean to step over John's upcoming response(s) but I've been A/B ing "Help!" and "Rubber Soul" mono/stereo while heading out in the morning and returning home. (Of course, when you do it while driving to/from work some local legal entities may perceive it to be distracted driving!) None ...

Well, FWIW:

Rubber Soul - for me its kind of a transition album between phases but the songs are tight and new
Abbey Road - maybe its the production, maybe its 'cause your can really hear the bass
Revolver - great songwriting
White Album - can take through about every emotion you can experience ...

Correction, I'll be "With the Beatles."

I recieved my Mono set yesterday. I've only had time to listen to Sgt. Pepper on the way to/from work today. Very, very clean. You can really hear the compression, delay and other effects on the vocals (think Lucy in the Sky). That may sound odd but and it's hard for me to describe but you hear ...

Congratulations Joe. I'm sure you will love it.

Last week we played an outside gig under a temporary canopy - metal poles/canvas cover. Everything was fine until the end of the night. Turned left, lifted my Rick over my head and Bang!....caught the blasted headstock on a crosspiece. It was one of those almost too scared to look moments. But, I ...

Kira,

You weren't kidding about those Bangladesh remixes. Wow! You can even hear EC's guitar. :) Somewhere I know I have the vinyl...must be in another room - I'll have to check. It's similar to when I first played the remixed All Things Must Pass . I heard brushes on hi-hats that I had never heard ...
