Mojo mag says that Pepper has been cancelled. Apparently it was a box
set with new photos and a badge. Big deal!

Ah! I just can't wait for the stereo release of Pet Sounds! :)

Just FYI it's "typos," not "typo's." You could at least fix THAT one.
No disrespect intended. :-)

That, and the fact that there is no such word as *abovementioned*. :)>

"Abovementioned" is a "portmanteau" word (a word combining the sounds and
meanings of two different words, as defined by the _Oxford Dictionary of
Current English_, and is thus valid, if not pompous as hell (he said,
knowing full well he's rather notorious for using such pretentious
language himself :) ).
ObB: Speaking of pretentious:
"The Beatles' transformation of consciousness into content has a clear
parallel in the history of fine art, particularly in the history of
modernistic painting. In painting, a comparable breakthrough was achieved
by Edoward Manet. Manet made the distancing experience of consciousness
the content of his work; he blatantly used the art of the past as his
subject matter rather than allowing it mearly to influence him; he
acknowledged the quality of earlier art, and he recognized that his
personal contribution as a painter could bonly be substantiated if it was
goold; finally he was accused of "putting down" the hisrory of his medium
and of "putting on" the audience of French art. Modernist painting has
directly and indirected explored the implications of Manet's art for more
than a century. This fact should lend caution to bredictions that rock
music will suddenly follow the Beatles' direction." -- Carl Belz, "Rock
and Fine Art," _The Story of Rock_, Oxford University Press, 1969.

It's only a rumor about it being remastered!!
Bar&Wim
No, it's not....or do you mean the "ADD"-addition on some Beatle-CD's?
Why dont' they give Revolver and Sgt. Peppers the
"pet-Sounds"-treatment? Now released in full and crisp stereo! (In a
boxed set, but that's much better than just add a button and a few
pieces of cardboard anyway)

I don't think they should remix it. I think they should one day make up their
minds about what the F... is the best remastering process and just F...... do
it already. And after it's done, let it be done so we don't have to keep
rebuying all this crap over and over again until the sun and all new and
abused technologies cease to exist!!! On a kinder note, I hope they release
the later applicable albums in mono as collecter's edition (like with the
recent Pink Floyd releases). I think they can get away with it because they
did with the mono singles and ep box sets. Let them press one, I'll buy it.
Also, release the lp's on better quality vinyl than these recent editions... I
think they were pressed on 39.9 gram vinyl. Please, at least 180 grams. It's
not too much to ask for. Note. Technically, I'm not asking for anything
because I'm posting on a newsgroup and I'm not in conversation with the powers
to be, etc.

The "Pet Sounds" treatment is very involved. Kind of like what they did
with "Penny Lane" on Anthology - they "hand synced" the original 4 track
tapes (including mixdown reels) to create a new multitrack master. With
Pet Sounds, the mulitrack layout was -mono music on one track, remaining 7
tracks for vocals. So they hand synced the original 3(or 4) track masters
with the 8 track vocal master. With Pepper, this would be a mammoth job -
involving hand syncing 3, 4, or sometimes 5 reels per song.
And would you sync the scream for "Sgt Pepper" in the "mono" placement or
the 'stereo'? <g>.
The complaints about a remix would outstrip any complaints about
remastering by about 100 to 1....but if they did do it, Furmanek is the
only one I'd trust...
