Get Back Sessions [Big L Productions 7CD] Recorded at Apple Studios, London,
Jan 27 1969. The sessions ended Jan 31. Songs covered on Jan 27 include
Old Brown Shoe, Let It Be, Long And Winding Road, Get Back. As every Beatlefan
knows the Get Back sessions were filmed and the entire month's recording
was simultaneously recorded on two Nagra mono reel-to-reel recorders with
overlap to ensure that every second was recorded. The Stereo Get Back
Sessions "uses the two mono Nagra recordings from cameras A & B, [for]
these 'stereo' recordings. The stereo space produced by these two mono
recordings often is stationary, but at times moves as the camera/ microphone
crew moved and shifted their locations during the sessions." Ex SBD stereo.

Dubs artwork] Ex SBD stereo Copied from original MFSL vinyl copies, most of them sealed and played for the first time. This is likely to be the B Series which means it was copied from the A Series CDRs. Here is some info: The Digital Vinyl Audiophile Collection (DVAC) began as a closed audiophile project in 2001. It is not a duplication or derivation of the fake MFSL collection printed in Italy and Japan. The DVAC discs are true direct-LP recordings and capture about 90% of the fidelity and 'feel' of pristine MFSL vinyl pressings (the other 10% being lost--or altered--in the digital domain). Moreover, this collection addresses some of the sound-level and artifact problems that persist on virtually all the official CDs, tapes and records. For instance, the new DVAC-4B disc is the first to present the original master recording of Run For Your Life without the "thump" noise. First, the original DVAC project (A-Series) relied on high-quality pressings (some of which were sealed prior to recording) that could be captured directly with little or no noise. Second, all aspects of the recording and copying involved quality audio components; the original analogue material was never compromised by software filters or home computer equipment. With the exception of Please Please Me, all titles were recorded using the shortest and cleanest signal path possible: phono stage to CD recorder. The result is a "permanent" near-mint collection of rare audiophile recordings. The Mobile Fidelity LPs used to produce the A-series master discs were solid examples of mint and mint-minus JVC-Japan pressings. In fact, the DVAC discs boast reference quality sound for the three most admired Beatles albums: The sources for Abbey Road and Revolver were virgin (prior sealed) pressings, while the source for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was an equally pristine UHQR pressing! Only rarely throughout this collection can you hear a soft click through loudspeakers. With headphones, inherent vinyl noise and hiss from the original master tapes are more prominent, but seldom offensive. The new B-Series project exploits the digital format and success of the first collection. The digital master tracks were extracted to computer, de-clicked and/or edited *only* if necessary, and then burned onto new master discs. This supplemental stage improved the intertrack quality of the play discs, and it eliminated the few audible clicks that were captured in the original project. It does not appear that any bit errors were introduced by the two additional copy stages (one read, one write). The Digital Vinyl Audiophile Collection omits The Beatles (White Album) because the quality and fidelity of the 1998 CD re-issue is already excellent. The digital re-issue of Yellow Submarine sounds even better, but was partially used here to produce a superior 'original' album. For the other 10 titles, the best high-fidelity stereo sound is still limited to select vinyl pressings; hence this collection. The original albums in this series were all sourced from MFSL vinyl: Please Please Me
(1963) * The trader who
offered me the set included the Beatles White Album as a 2CD set. But
according to the info about the DVAC set, the White Album was omitted.
The trader also said his copies were silver discs pressed in Japan. There
is a possibility that my copies are not the famous DVAC set. Apple Singles Collection

Ex SBD stereo. The Beatles - "Rarities 3:The Final Mixes" [Red Robin/ Beat 1CD] "In 1976 George Martin wanted to update the sound of certain early Beatles tracks and some of the later songs as well. While hoping he was upgrading, and he was, Martin was actually creating a monster. A lot of folks, The Beatles included, were against, somebody messing with the original mixes. After all they had been "butchered" years early by the American company Capitol Records, now they were being again, but this time within their own EMI camp! "Now, many years
later, upon listening to these versions really loud you can't beat the
artistry of these mixes. You won't be disappointed! And don't forget,
it's stereo!" - from the liner notes. Is this a 'pirate' of the Rock n'
