This is NOT spam trying to sell a book...I just think it's a very enjoyable book, and wonder if others here might be interested in checking it out.

Hi everyone,

Now before I get flamed or told I'm just stupid, I know what I'm about to ask is probably not possible... however, I thought you might be able to get me half decently close to the sound that I am looking for.

Word is just out that Capitol Records is re-releasing the first 4 Beatles albums in their American versions, in a box set. This is volume 1 of a planned series of reissues.There will be mono & stereo versions of each album on each disc. No word if the box set will be regular 16/44.1 CD or SACD / DVD Audio. Sleeves within the box will be copies of the original sleeve art.

My mom who is famous for knitted sox and yellow santa sweaters sent me the Beatles "Let it Be..Naked" CD.

For those of you who don't know, this is the original Let IT Be Sessions of the Beatles playing as a band with no overdubs, before Phil Spector got his hands on it and added choirs, orchestras etc.

Does anyone out there have an opinion (and I'll bet some of you do...) on the new "Get Back-Naked" release?

I guess this could also be answered from a producer's point of view as well as mastering.

Hello Everyone,
I've always heard that Paul's bass went through a TUBE version of the Altec comp. Maybe a 436 or 438C. Now while looking at page 165 of "the complete Beatles Recording Sessions" I'm seeing what appear to be Altec comps, but they appear closer to the 1591A.

Hello everyone,
in the upcoming months ill offically be in the market for a nice mic preamp in the $1000+ range. I was wondering if anyone knew what type of mic preamp's the beatles might have used for their latter recordings ie. white album etc... and are there any similar clones out on the market?
thanks in advance!
