So, I slapped on the headphones and listened to the new Giles Martin remix of the greatest album the Beatles ever made, in beautiful 24-bit stereo. George would be proud of the kid, maybe his best work yet. Flawless.
I had to listen through headphones because I wanted to get the full effect of “Tomorrow Never Knows”. Stereo psychedelia as God intended. Effects panning left to right, then right to left. Then towards the ends the drums seem to start moving more to the foreground…I don’t remember that in previous versions.
I won’t say it was revelatory…no reason to get crazy with a masterpiece, but this 56 year old record sounded as clean as anything of that era could.
My only regret was that I was sober and not sharing the experience with a hot naked chick. May have to remedy that with my next listen.
Life is good, particularly when listening to great music. Happy night before Election Day, good people!
