Simply brilliant... man, the extras!
I don't want to open up old wounds, but listening to Rocky Raccoon..... I was 'Team Mountain', as per the official lyrics.... don't know if it is my imagination, but this new remix.... well, it certainly sounds like 'mining'.
I think we might have our answer.... finally!.... I am conceding.... it is 'mining'.
This album is just the most generous offering of all the releases.
Brilliant!
I agree on all accounts. Some of these songs sound so clear. And as far as Rocky...Nancy already conceded a few weeks ago in another thread. LOL!
Ha! Then we are universally agreed!.... The 'mountain' is over....
How great are these songs!... A lot of them show a lot of love between the fellas, despite popular opinion.
I've never heard that Let It Be take before.
That Let It Be take is great isn't it? I never heard it before either.

I guess you missed my post in the Rocky Raccoon thread where I also conceded it was “mining.”

The original 1968 release, John Lennon suggested numbers on the album
John was a bunch of zeros follow by the number 1
Paul was a bunch of zeros follow by the number 4
What numbers we’re selected by Ringo and George?
I say George took a bunch of zeros follow by the number 3 because I bet he thought this was odd.

I just purchased The White Album Super Deluxe 6 CD + 1 Blu-Ray Set! I can't wait to get it!
-
Mine arrived exactly when Amazon said it would - 8 pm! Still wading through Imagine set, but I think I’ll switch to White Album tomorrow!
P.S. The lyrics on the back of the poster still say “mountain” hills!

I hope you ordered it from Amazon- they have the best price ($147.06 including tax + free shipping)

I thought Ringo ended up with the 0000001 set. He sold it at auction last year I think.
Yeah:
it was actually 2015:
Dec 5, 2015 · Ringo Starr's personal copy of the Beatles' The White Album, numbered No. 0000001, sold for a world record $790,000 Saturday at the Julien's Live auction of instruments and items from ...

I did my shopping before I ordered it from Amazon! Some places are selling it between $250.00 to almost $300.00! Check the prices out on eBay, the prices are enormous!

Well then technically it is still 'mountain'!!!!....although, in good faith, I believe it to be 'mining'.
How great are these extras!

This article details Beach Boys Mike Love's influence on Paul's composing "Back in the USSR". It also has other information about the Beatles' time in India and some White Album DEMOs

I reckon that song is hugely underrated. Sends a shiver down my spine. It's a beauty.

I so love that Giles mixed the song to lift george's excellent vocal up front. Not sure why it was so quiet previvously. Beautifu song. Now, if only his "Sour Milk Sea" had made the album, I would be blissfully happy. that goes for "Not Guilty" too. George's stuff on the album is excellent. Well, it's all excellent; a masterful collection of songs. I kinda wish they had pursued the less lush "Good Night", with the version of all four singing rather than the one of just Ringo with the heavy orchestration. While the song is still the perfect ending to the album, it could have been more so. IMO

Listening to the Esher Demos right now! So cool! Like being a fly on the wall, right there in the room!

The Beatles’ White Album at 50: When They Was Fab

The best moments on the new remix for me are Julia, which sounds even more beautiful than the original. And Yer Blues just knocked my socks off!
As for the Sessions, Revolution 1 and Helter Skelter alone are worth the price of admission! I am also blown away by the lengthy band only version of Hey Jude, which I never knew existed. These aren't just outtakes. Many are different versions of the songs entirely. It just an amazing set of musical treasures that Giles Martin has dug up. I think it's incredible that all these tapes still existed. Thank you EMI!

I received mine earlier today but have not been able to hear it due to watching THE PACIFIC on HBO for Veterans Day! I have tomorrow off so I'll be listening to my 6 CD + 1 Blu-Ray Super Deluxe set all day! I LOVE the set itself, IT IS GORGEOUS!
