THE BEATLES
OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA
Remastered Edition
Remasters Workshop
RMW 723 / 724

Pitch, phase and levels corrected from the 2CD set on STEMRA OBA 06869 / 70.

Everything on Disc 1 is sourced from vinyl, clicks and pops and thumps intact. Everything was at the wrong speed - some more than a semitone off - and horribly out of phase. There were inexplicable gaps in some of the waveforms. I don't know if the original is like that, or whether it was bad extraction. And two of the "Oh! Darling" rehearsals were repeated later on the disc. First they were excerpted, and then a few versions later was the longer, uncut tape of the same session, the one where John says "I've just heard that Yoko's divorce has gone through. I'm free!" This version has had the excerpt omitted.

Disc 2 was mainly from CD sources, each at a slightly different variation of pitch off A=440, with levels all over the map and out of phase. All of these anomalies were fixed. Hopefully now it is a pair of albums that people would be happy to listen to... it doesn't make me go "ugh!" anymore.

Caveat: despite the bit on the front cover stating that this album includes the complete versions of "Dig It" and "Christmas Time (Is Here Again)," it does not. There is more of "Dig It" that didn't surface until some years after this disc was made, and the longest version of "Christmas Time" is the incomplete version that is on, for instance, Yellow Dog's "Acetates" (where it isn't an acetate, either). The complete version of this track is on several other sources which use recordings from "The Boardroom Tape."

ffp files and artwork are included.

Please preserve the lossless quality of this material.
