Beatles/Get Back The Glyn Johns Compilations 1969-1970

Similar to Rooftop, various “GET BACK” album-related releases, which were huge bestsellers, will also be making a reappearance. The acetate made during the production of the same album was used as a sound source that was broadcast on American radio, and unlike past items, the noise of the acetate was removed beautifully and naturally. “GET BACK: WBCN ACETATE DEFINITIVE EDITION” ”, and “GET BACK: GLYN JOHNS 1969 & 1970 MIX,” which was completed twice but ended up being shelved, both of which present the phantom album in its best condition. Due to its easy-to-understand coupling, this is also a bestseller and sold out. Naturally, we received many requests for reissues of these two types, so this release was made possible, but this is not just a reissue, but rather a compilation of materials related to the unreleased album “GET BACK”. It has been reborn as a complete four-disc set. Therefore, let me introduce the changes and additions to the contents of each of the four discs in a step-by-step manner. Let’s start with the first one. The main one is the reissue of “WBCN ACETATE DEFINITIVE EDITION” that I mentioned first. It received high praise from enthusiasts all over the world for its high level of perfection, in which acetate noise was removed more clearly than ever before, yet the sense of equalization was extremely low. This acetate is a rough mix version made on January 30th (rooftop day!) at the end of the Get Back session. In the series of “GET BACK” projects, Glyn Johns, who played an even bigger role than George Martin, selected album candidates from the countless performances recorded by the Beatles on the 26th and 27th, and released an album. It was summarized in minutes. At this point, it is before the final session on the 31st, and a loose take on the 26th is adopted for “Let It Be”. Also, the mixes of the takes recorded on the album GET BACK are different. Recorded after this acetate is another acetate also created on the 30th. Here, we have selected takes that could be used for the album from the loose but exciting session performance on the 26th, and it is characterized by mainly cover songs. Because it was based on a session held on Sunday, the acetate label had “Beatles Sunday” written on it. However, this acetate has been circulating as a sound source that seems to have been copied at the tape stage before it was engraved on the record. It is strange that the sound quality is monaural, but I suspect that it was converted to monaural when it was dubbed by a member or staff member who requested a copy on tape instead of acetate. First, in the LP era, John’s high-tension song “I’ve Got A Feeling” and long “Dig It” were discovered, and then the full-length version of the sound source was released with Yellow Dog’s nostalgic “CELLULOID ROCK”. For this recording, we adopted the title “GET BACK: JOHN BARRETT’S REEL”, which contained an upgraded version of the same sound source. Contrary to the title, it contained sound sources unrelated to John Barrett, who is familiar to enthusiasts. However, even if you don’t care about these complicated sound source situations, you can still enjoy it as it is very clear even though it is monaural and the instruments are well balanced. This time, the pitch deviation was properly adjusted. Also, in the previously released version, there was a drawback where there was a crackling noise in the parts where the sound of “I’ve Got A Feeling” got louder, but that problem has been fixed firmly. Performances of oldies covers such as “Miss Ann/Kansas City/Lawdy Miss Clawdy” that were also seen in the movie “LET IT BE” are also recorded here in the complete version without shortening. Regarding “Dig It,” fragments of the same performance can be heard, but in fact, the tape that became the basis for the “Beatles Sunday” acetate contains two mixes of the same song, and they can be copied to the monaural tape in the example. It seems that this fragment was the remains of one side being cut at the stage. The second disc may be called the biggest highlight of this four-disc version. This is a CD recording of “O.P.D”, which is said to be one of the oldest Beatles bootlegs that came with the release of “WBCN ACETATE”. The previous CD contained this LP, which can truly be called a mega-rare item, in its best condition. The CD included a version of the best transfer that was only available among traders, without going through the internet or mp3. That Remasters Workshop also disseminated this LP as a file, but the sound quality of this CD is definitely better than that. When compared, the difference was obvious, and the Remasters Workshop version sounded like it had a weak sound quality. The sound quality is truly vintage. The content was also very valuable, and it was very different from the famous “GET BACK” boot that appeared later, such as the long version of “Dig It” and the reprise of “Get Back”. The source of this LP was a broadcast from a radio station called WKBW, and it was an important item that could prove that another acetate had been transferred to another station. Furthermore, while the “GET BACK” bootlegs that appeared after this, such as the Three Crows, “KUM BACK”, “GET BACK TO TORONTO”, and the LEMON RECORDS edition, were all recorded in stereo, this one was recorded in monaural. It gives it a vintage item feel. This monaural sound source is in a state where you can only hear the sound of the left channel of the stereo mix, but it seems that the sound was only the left channel when it was broadcast on WKBW, so it was a mistake at the stage of producing the acetate disc. Possibilities are also speculated. Of the Three Crows, only LEMON RECORDS, who was a latecomer, copied “One After 909” and “Dig It” from “O.P.D” to enrich the content, which shows the preciousness of the content of this LP. You could say it’s a great episode. What’s most appealing is that you can listen to the finest antiques from the Beatles’ boot history. The second half of this disc contains various remix versions of John Barrett’s sound source, which caused a sensation when it was released 20 years ago. The song I used this time is “BARE IT ALL” by MasterJedi, which has been hailed as the best remastered version on the internet. All of these are stereo and have very clear sound quality, and it is especially valuable to be able to hear the version that Phil Spector remixed Paul’s “Teddy Boy” for “LET IT BE”. The third and fourth discs are again the best remastered version of each generation’s “GET BACK”, and when reissued, they have been improved and changed, while only making minor adjustments such as removing some noise. . As you will understand if you have read this far, this is no longer just a recurrence. This is a collection of sound sources related to the phantom album that was never released. In terms of content, it easily exceeds the previous release, but on the other hand, the combination of only the album itself of “GET BACK GLYN JOHNS 1969 & 1970 MIX” is simple and has a finish that is suitable for everyone. , their value hasn’t fallen either. In fact, this 4-disc version is the best package of “GET BACK” related sound sources that will truly make enthusiasts happy, as you can see from the fact that even the mega-rare “O.P.D” is included in the CD. I did. As is well known, this was a disastrous album project that faltered from the start due to discord between the members of the Beatles that surfaced from the recording stage. The album itself will not be officially released in the future. Still, it’s a fantastic album full of rough charm. In fact, everything is OK with “GET BACK”!
