I must say that for music journalists, your knowledge of the Beatles material is lacking and thus I cannot take your opinions seriously. Example- “Great care was taken to clean the original analog tapes and dump it all down to ProTools to remaster each track, and you can hear it. A little extra guitar echo here and there on “Taxman,”…” Only the master tapes were remastered. There was no remixing done and no effects added or taken away. Read one of the interviews with the men who did the work!

I must disagree also with your miscalculation. The early recordings were raw and with a live felling to them. The polished mark they leave behind is something that many LA productions could only hope to achieve. Your distain is astonishing. You must have been a Jack Jones fan.

I’d have to disagree with your low rating on With The Beatles. Much of the material was from their Hamburg and Cavern shows, so what if they were covers? This was like capturing
the band live and in person. By this time, 1963, you couldn’t hear them in concert anyway, so why not get the next best thing? I would give it an 8 out of 10.

I’m just happy that Phil Spector is finally doing hard time for his “Let It Be” production. This should be served concurrently with a sentence for what he tried to do to the Ramones “End of the Century”.
