Tremendous review. Thanks for posting. I first heard the White Album in 1976. I was 10 years old and in the hospital recovering from Rheyes Syndrome. My family bought me the record to lift my spirits and also because I had been a huge Beatles fan since the age of seven. My roommate who was dying of leukemia had a record player next to his bed and he let me listen to the record. I’ll never forget hearing Martha My Dear and Obla Di Obla Da for the first time in that room. It made everyone in the room happy.
Michael, you are the best at giving a review. Whether it's a record or a turntable, you are awesome. Thanks for doing these UA-cam videos. - Bill Young
As usual, you're videos are the best! Thanks Michael!!
I love your commentary and history on one of the greatest groups in rock history.
I’m subscribing to hear more of you and what we all need to know.
Thanks.
Came here from the Manley Labs video, so thanks for that. As far as this video? You are really great man!!!!! Very good documentary skill.
This video is going to favorites while I empty, it's a pleasure to hear Mr. Michael Fremer tell about the new albums.
Worth mentioning that Child of Nature became Jealous Guy (Lennon's Imagine album), Circles was included on Harrison's Gone Troppo and yes, as mentioned below, Not Guilty was on Harrison's album 'George Harrison' which included the single 'Blow Away'. Nice review.
Wow!,great information and personal story.once again michael,you're the man!👍
My Christmas Gift! Thank you for the video... fantastic!
Thank you Michael, you've certainly whetted our appetites for our early Christmas on November 9th! I'm sure many people (myself included) have preordered both the 4 LP Set and the Deluxe Box of discs that you highly recommend. I remember 20 years ago there was a "30th Anniversary" of the White Album which was nothing special that I can recall, I thought, "When the White Album turns 50, I hope they'll do something special." Turns out they did...
Thank you Michael, you are amazing!
Thanks for showing the different versions Michael. I’m definitely going to go for the deluxe booklet as I need the mono version and all the extras. Thanks..
Thank you for sharing your story from the record store. I am dying to hear this. I know I should be listening to the mono mixes because those are the mixes the Beatles worked hardest on, but I grew up on the stereo versions of the UK albums on CD and that’s what feels right to me.
Thanks Michael, I can’t wait to get my copy.....in fact I ordered all three versions and an extra 4 lp set to keep sealed , it was great seeing your original white album and the story that went along with it, i bought an original UK white album from acoustic sounds some months back and I was thrilled to finally get my hands on one, now if I could score a UK mono copy!
I have ordered this. Cannot wait
Definitely need more videos like this. I'd love to hear your impressions on the latest Bowie box.
You have a nice and entertaining presentation style. Love to see your original White Album. By the way it is a bloody great album, EVERY track, even Revolution 9
Mikey you realize a number of younger people have no idea what an awesome car the Volvo P1800 was. I so want one of those before I leave the planet! Great video. Thanks!!!!
Great review , can’t wait for my delux & delightful cd box set to come only 3 more sleeps ...
Thank you for standing up for HD audio!
Can you do record talk more often please? I would love to hear more of the stories you have to tell...
Great video Mike
I really really really really like this. This man made me cry. Such an amazing way to present such an amazing product. Just try to get a new needle to my Thorens Recordplayer. Thanks man... best regards from munich , germany .... Alex Czinke
ANOTHER fantastic video, Mr. Fremer! Highly informative and entertaining as always. And as for your recommendation on getting the 4xLP edition...Well, let's just say you don't have to tell ME twice, 'cos that's the version I already planned on getting to begin with! :-) That said, my only regret is that you didn't show us the other double album set in the box containing the Esher demos. I'd noticed that, in the first official trailer, the Esher Demo disc in the 3-CD set and deluxe box had the crude green/white "Apple Custom Recording" acetate/test-pressing label with old-style typewritten lettering. I was curious to see if the vinyl version had the same, along with any possible alternate photos on the inner gatefold, etc. But alas, the rest of us shall find out for ourselves come November 9th (unless there's some way we could sweet-talk you into making a second video showing the Esher vinyl). Again, loved the video!
Thank you for the review. It is Esher . Pronounced E like the letter E. Eeesher :-)
No, he pronounced it correctly.
@@TallCecil77 No, he didn't it's Eesher. I lived near there.
It's definitely Ee-Sher!
mark yexley I was just about to say the same thing!
Thank you. I forget myself
Nice review. I'll be picking this up.
Got in for $49 at Wal-Mart yesterday!!! They had 4 of them. I couldn't believe it. And I just bought the regular release at Barnes and Noble a few weeks ago for about the same price. Yes, got a new turntable (scratch and dent AT 120 for 160 bucks) and a reloop concord needle with my stimulus money 💰
Nice huge record collection you have!! Someday I'll get mine.
Great review! I'm not interested in this release but I know the Beatles fans that will watch this will be all over it, nicely done.
Thanks for the in-depth review! I too remember buying the White Album 50 years ago. I believe I paid $5.50 for it. The line was around the block to get in to the record store. I'm just about to put my MFSL version of it on eBay. We'll see what it gets.
BTW... Your narration skills are exemplary!
Very nice review, thank you !
A small thing, Esher is pronounced Eeesher. It really is. I know as I live there. lol
Paul Upton I know now. My error.
Very nice, thanks for another great video
Thanks. Very informative. I didn't know about the Esher tapes. I too have played the white album over and over, especially side two, (so many songs for one side of an LP), then side one. Proof that I am a Beatles fan: I played Revolution No: 9 a lot of times - more times than it deserves!
Thank you for all you do Michael. A friend recently gave me his record collection and it contains and never-played original EMI Parlophone of the White album. The sound is incredible and surface is dead quiet; the 4 pics are pristine. I had the pics framed and have them in my record room. Clueless friend indeed ;-)
If you have the White Album in pristine condition on the Parlophone label, and NOT the Apple label, you’re sitting on a “ Goldmine “ pun intended ...
Thanks for the heads up just ordered both! You're right buy now or end up paying through the nose later
Hi great advice it won't be around forever. I've got the deluxe book version and the 4 vinyl boxset excellent release and Christmas has come early for me as I had to buy myself couldn't see my kids getting this for me lol . Great video always fun . Great story about you picking up those box's of the UK version white album. Kind regards Joe Morgan
Had to settle on getting the 2LP set since I've also ordered the deluxe CD set. Even so, I'm rather excited.
An interesting and thorough review. Thank you. I have my copy of the White Album bought while a Hospital Corpsman back in the Vietnam era. Two dollars brand new.
What a coincidence, Michael. I was working in a record store in LA when the White Album came out. We had a nightmare during the XMAS rush season when we couldn't keep it in stock and Capitol Records couldn't press them fast enough. The result was a batch of returns with the same defect. The records were pressed sloppily. The grooves were not deep enough and the phonograph needle, excuse me-stylus- was sliding across the album!!! Really, the pressing was almost smooth.
Thank you! Pre-ordered mine.
Very underrated band The Beatles. Sold only 600 million records worldwide.
Damn you Michael!! You got me thinking (That is cwazy enough) , then came The Beatles newsletter selling, guess what? The 4LP set is on it's way. Thanks. Don't tell them about the surprise gift.
Nice. Thanks for the video!
nice review!
Buy the 7 disc CD box set, the 5.1 mix is heaven. Like I imagined it would have sounded in the studio. By contrast the 1968 mono mix sounds like it did on AM radio in 1968. Love your videos Michael.
Ordered the 4 LP set from Amazon. Can’t wait.
Wonderful Michael. Just one tiny thing that matters not in the great scheme of things but you might find helpful, Esher is pronounced Eeesher. It’s a frightfully posh place in Surrey! :) At least it was years ago when I grew up in the UK, not having lived there for almost twenty years it might have gone downhill a bit! Keep up the good work.
your intro is hysterical it reminds me of my dad haha
Michael , really enjoy your reviews and takes on the music. Will you ever get around to doing a review on Billy Joel's Vinyl Box set Volume 1?
Nice review going to get 4 box set!
Pre-ordered today... thnx for the heads up and Beatles have been with me since the 60s because of my parents records and they so much influenced my not-only-music taste - the Beatles i mean... my parents too in a way ,-). They (the Beatles ;-) developed so fast and invented so much music and sound engineering wise (together with their combatants)...
For me Revolver was ground breaking too.
Thanks for the great video is there a link to where this can be purchased? Was the remix done in analog then transferred to digital for preservation ?
I can’t wait to get my copy
I agree that the artists shouldn’t be involved in remastering albums. Only thing with Zeppelin is Jimmy was also the producer.
I notice Michael, you always are able to tell a great detail of information for lots of albums. Even if someone hands you a record, there's a good possibility you will have some deal of info on it. I'm curious, where do you source your info usually from (besides info included on record sleeves/inserts), and also how the heck do you remember it haha. I love learning about stuff like that, but I can read something then soon forget it.
Most of The Beatles history info he referenced has been stated for years now. The only info he stated which was not was the part of the new releases and his personal details of when he got his original copy. Great review with exception to the opinion bits which i wouldn't necessarily agree with unless there is some facts cited...5.1, Artists shouldn't be a part of a remaster, no exclamations on the original analog to modern day transformation if there is any...etc etc
Can't wait for my copy to arrive.Thank you for sharing.Love those glasses you are wearing,who makes them?Hope you'd share them info as well.Cheers my friend!This is Noel from Bayonne NJ
Really cool un boxing. 😎
pre-ordered the deluxe version it as soon as it was available (just like I did with Sgt. Pepper's). Getting it on 11/9. Can't wait!!!
Nest stop, Abbey Road!
Great video thanks you
Nice review! One thing though - In the deluxe set, the blu-ray contains 24/96 of the remix, 5.1 surround, and mono, but you do NOT get 24/96 high resolution of the Esher demos or sessions. For those, just the 16/44 on CDs 3-6
1:00 "like this, not 'like this', it is this" lol idk why but i find it hilarious
I have an original 60's mono copy,totally amazing
Thank you for this. I think *everyone* mispronounces Eeeeeesher as Esher.
so it seems that the 2lp set is pressed by QRP and the 4lp set is pressed by optimal (which in my experience presses a lot of nice records but many of them are warped.
What worried me about this release, is when Mr. Martin said he did not want it too hi fi. I hope the cd and lp sounds better than the tracks they released on Tidal. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
I am getting the deluxe set for the mono transfer. 'Not Guilty' ended up on George's excellent eponymously named solo album.
Thank You!
🎶We wish you a Beatles Christmas, we wish you a Beatles Christmas, we wish you a Beatles Christmas, and a Happy New Year! 🎶😁👍
You are very good sir!
Thank you for the review. How do the new mixes compare to the original ? I believe many of the original , as many other albums, contain several reduction mixes to free up tracks, even when they switched to eight track partway into recording the album.
Have the mono mix and stereo mix on CD, several differences, both worth having
Beautiful shirt man, pity we can't see the whole product. I'll have to wait to other review or buy the record for myself.
You have just made up my mind to get the 4 LP set over the 2 LP set. Canceled my order for the 2 LP and got the 4 LP Esher set. Now for the hardest part.... The Waiting is the hardest part. Looks nice but I have to say I am curious which apple labels are on each of the LP's???
Ditto!
Yep, I’m like a kid counting down the sleeps for summer vacation! It’s that crazy unbearable excitement that can’t be explained to someone who doesn’t understand! “The Waiting” is truly the hardest part!
The blu ray also has the album in 96/24 5.1 surround sound. I can't wait.
The Beatles and their management need to pay you. I wasn't going to get the box set 4 Vinyl set but after watching this video, I just pre-ordered it. Thanks for this review and video.
do you collect also obscure japanese electronic jazz music? or in general electronic music? im very curious about that because your collection looks huge! anyway hope you will show once some interesting not so popular music!:)
@1:33 the second photo is actully from the Abbey Road album sessions
I'm so happy to hear you refer to those people who say you can't hear a difference at 96K imbeciles. I've been doing high resolution digital recording now for over 15 years. I know they're imbeciles but hearing it from you is just overwhelmingly validating.
I am going to hold out for the 100th anniversary edition.That one has George Martins' great great grandson remixing the lp from the original wax cylinders .
So lucky to get an advanced copy! Is it me or are the pictures of the Beatles larger than the original 4 photos?
The ads I've seen for this state that there is a 64 page book included. But there doesn't seem to be one in your box.
Hi Michael, in your Analogue Planet review you note that the CD version of the Esher Demos lost the Magic of the vinyl version. Is this also true of the CD of the main album or is that on par? Also the new mono transfer on the Blu-ray what are your thoughts on that ?
Better to buy the double LP from QRP and then pick up a copy of EEEEEsher on discogs? Or go all in and start with the album + EEEEEEsher that are not pressed at QRP?
I would like to get the four LP box set, but would love a mono copy, the Beatles sound better in mono in my opinion. What about a mono reissue that came out a few years ago, which is a top loader?
Great Video
Is there going to be any difference in quality or sound or anything at all between the 2 LP discs and the same 2lp discs in the 4 LP box set,being as they are pressed at different places? Genuine question from someone who can only afford the 2LP unless I sell something. I dunno a lung or whatever,lol. Seriously though really waiting for your reply. Thank you,Craig.
Don't sell a body part over this please! I was wondering the same thing! Especially since I was out at QRP on Saturday. They got the same lacquers from Abbey Road, but plating and pressing can make a major difference. However I believe QRP plated and pressed the 2 LP set for worldwide distribution and Optimal did the 4 LPs so if you are buying the 2 LPs you'll get the QRP.... I will try to do the comparison though.
you should try and get, one of my heros Tim Burgess on. He's a huge vinyl colletor, and has even wrote a book charting his favourite record stores from around the world rather fabulously titled "Tim Book two",.... As it was his second book, you see lol...... He's also an all round "top bloke"
Thanks again Michael ....... Jimmy ...
Two thumbs up!
Really enjoyed the vid - just one point though Esher is pronounced Eee-shur, with the E as in e-bay. Just thought I'd mention it!
I want to get the blu ray box set because i have a proper surround sound setup but it's soooo expensive
Is the ten minute helter skelter on the 4 lp box, if so I will buy it
Do you think they'll do anything for the 50th of the Let It Be / Get Back sessions?
Thanks for this - am dying to get my deluxe package, although I morally disagree with remixing this stuff (and the same for 'Pepper' last year). By the way, point of accuracy, "Esher" is pronounced "Eeesher".
Michael , got 2 lp set friday not really interested in the bonus stuff. I will say I'm impressed and heard things differently. I'm going to listen to the originals again there some things with some of the vocals that sounded strange , Back in the U.S.S.R. for one at the end.
Good synopses.
I just got the 4 lp box set mine is in stereo from Walmart (Go Figure) $51.00 Just wondering did they make one in Mono 4-Lp version as well??
Is it already available? I thought it will be released on nov. 9.
Got a 10th anniversary, in white vinyl on the Capitol label, rare?
I've placed my order for the Deluxe set as well as the 4LP set, I've anticipated this release ever since the Pepper remix so I've had the money ready to spend. I'm really more interested in the LP set but I really want the book. At this point I'm just thinking if I should upgrade my shipping so that I get it sooner. At first I had Amazon on the slowest shipping but I upgraded it to the middle one and may even upgrade again for the fastest shipping but I'm not sure.
Did you check the Beatles site?
I am familiar with the Beatles web site but as I have never made a purchase there before I never considered it when I made my order.
Prices are cheaper than Amazon
Both the Deluxe and the LP set are more expensive than what I'm paying on Amazon. More so in the case of the Deluxe CD set.
If you preorder anything from amazon they usually guarantee you'll receive it on release day
Awesome. You forgot the 5.1 mix on the Blu-ray. And I believe it’s pronounced EEEsher. According to Giles.
