Rubber Soul from Hobnail (HSR21/22/23):
Here is the latest in the Back To Basics series - the glorious 'Rubber Soul.'
I have included a bonus disc with this set containing 9 instrumentals made from the Rockband .mogg files with vocals removed.
This is for users out there who do not have the .mogg files and would like to hear these tracks in this form.
It is such a treat to be able to offer such great extras with this album.
'We Can Work It Out' (Take 1) is offered in stereo-mono as this track goes one-legged after the studio chat.
There is literally nothing on the right channel. So I have made this section mono for a better listening experience.
Highlights for me include '12-Bar Original' (Take 2) which for the first time is offered without the discrete digital clicks.
These have plagued every-single release of this in the past.
I spent 5 hours removing each click one-by-one to keep the integrity of the recording, and to offer the best quality end-product.
I am really happy with how this recording came out after such a laborious process, and I hope you too enjoy this.
Also, I have done some pretty interesting work on the 'Lennon Tape' tracks, including 'In My Life' (Take 3) With Organ Solo.
As you will know, on the recent 'Unforgettable' disc these tracks were ruined by garbled tape loops, but yet offered the best quality above the 'Entomology' source.
These recordings I did an exact pitch match between 'Entomology' and 'Unforgettable' sources, I then combined the top end from the best source with the lower frequencies from the lesser source to offer what should be a garble free recording.
For each of these I have also added the unedited 'Entomology' source for comparison (and because it is so damn rare!). These will be marked V2 for each recording.
This is the first time that the 'Entomology' sources have been included anywhere (with thanks to Mr Anon) so I hope that you enjoy them!
I have omitted the 'Sessions Mix' of 'I'm Looking Through You' as it is essentially the same as that released on Anthology 2 (which is here).
Everything else should be on this set, and if not, I will add in an updated version.
This is an Official Helter Skelter release. Accept no imitations
Some parts of this release have been treated with minor hiss reduction.
This has been done at very low level and only on certain frequencies using 'Algorithmix' Industry Standard Software to ensure that the original audio was not compromised.
Nothing has been lost (the Helter Skelter policy) during this process - only minor hiss removed for better listenability on studio chat.
No noise reduction has been applied to any music elements.
