Re: The Beatles white album on cassette
 

I haven't heard the Spotify version, but I have heard it on YouTube Music and another music streamer (Amazon I think it was), and they were both the same.

I very much doubt those re-mastering the album did this deliberately. They've basically ruined these tracks for me.

Re: The Beatles white album on cassette
 

If those two streams were the 2018 remasters then it is likely deliberate if they were both the same.

Re: The Beatles white album on cassette
 

What you seem to be saying is that they deliberately put those sounds in the wrong place, which doesn’t really make sense to me at all. Why would they do that?

Re: The Beatles white album on cassette
 

They may be in a different place to the original release. But that doesn't make it wrong. Spotify has the Ltd edition of the album that includes alternate takes and different versions of many of the songs. They used the original recording notes too to ensure everything was as close to the original vision for the songs.

Basically because NOTHING IS PURE anymore,its mostly crap.

Heres those songs from that album,do you hear the same in these??

It is wrong, because it’s not as the artists intended. If they did this deliberately, they are Philistines. :mad::mad:

More likely, they were just plain ignorant.

Re: The Beatles white album on cassette
 

How do you know it's not as the artists intended? The producers may have done what they thought was right at the time, but not as they planned.

Look at Let it Be Naked. It sounds so much better for being stripped baked and more basic.

Paul McCartney likes it...

OLD BOY did you listen to the songs??

I listenend to PIGGIES but to be frank I dont like the sound compared to my analogue cassette...

Re: The Beatles white album on cassette
 

I've always been a music person, I would much rather listen to music than watch TV for example.

Over the years (and there are many) I've amassed a nice collection of the stuff I enjoy and listen to. I've also bought, or heard elsewhere, some of the 'remastered' stuff that is supposed to sound better.

My opinion:
I've listened to many tracks so many times that they are ingrained into memory, all the subtle nuances, the guitar tones, the 'background' ambience, the cymbals, how the song resonates etc . . it's all there.
When I hear the same track that is remastered it's different to how I know it, it's not the same song, and therefore my feeling is that it is 'not as good' as the original.

Some may think it's definitely better, some will say worse, some may not even hear a difference, it's all down to how you yourself want that track to sound ;)

Im trying to find PART 2 of the white album on cassette BUT I CAN ONLY FIND A NEWER RELEASE (Capital and not APPLE RECORDS) -- I assume the capital re-issues do not sound as good being later in the 70s...


PART 1 is on PAPER LABELS and says APPLE RECORDS . Didnt they do the 2nd cassette at the same time??

Very sad if its not out there on the original apple label... Part 1 is excellent and has the better songs anyway (Back in the ussr,etc)

Re: The Beatles white album on cassette
 

We’re not talking about the same thing, Hugh. I’m talking about the streamed version of the album available on the Apple and YouTube streamers.

I have only listened to the original and the other version I mentioned. I think this must be a newer version.

In the streamed version I have, the sounds of the blackbird and the pigs are in the wrong place.

Re: The Beatles white album on cassette
 

I don't imagine it will sound any worse. Being released in the 70s. It will probably sound like it's played through cotton wool. Tapes were not the best format at all. Plus they were both probably mastered from the same source.

Yea quite possibly.......

I just found/ordered the original paper label release of part 2 of The Beatles WHITE ALBUM so now I have the whole album on the first release cassettes.... (Probably 1970 or 69 im not sure)
