Beatles/Help! Rubber Soul Cadadian CD 1995 Original Stereo Mix

Coincidence, mistakes, and mistakes…a valuable version of “Help!” was created by a combination of various factors. ” and “Rubber Soul.” A masterpiece set of “original stereo MIX & non-remastered” will be released. The true identity of this work is the official CD “Help! ” “Rubber Soul”. However, it is the “1989 Canadian CD “C2 46439” and “C2 46440” that sets it apart from other countries’ CDs. How on earth is this Canadian version different from other countries’ versions and the current version? To explain this, let’s first turn the clock back to 1987. Speaking of 1987, it was the time when the Beatles began to be released on CD. However, not all albums were released on CD at the same time, and “Help! ‘Rubber Soul’ was the second release along with ‘Revolver’. Initially, it was planned to be released as a mono CD, but the standard was changed to a stereo version at the last minute. Mike Jarrett of EMI, who was in charge, created a master tape that was a reproduction of the original stereo master. However, George Martin heard the master and suggested a remix. As a result, a “remix stereo version” was released on CD worldwide. So far, this is a well-known story. However, something happened here. The CD was supposed to be released under a uniform worldwide standard, but for some reason the Canadian version of the CD “Help!” was released two years late. ” and “Rubber Soul” were different. The mix was different from other countries’ versions, and it was the “original stereo version” produced by Jarrett. This wasn’t a plan or a prank, it was just a mistake. It is not clear who made the mistake at the scene, but it is said that it was probably a mistake in sending the digital tape. In the first place, each country’s CD is pressed for each country from the master sent from their home country. In the case of EMI, until the early 1990s they were sending digital tapes instead of glass master CDs, and it has been pointed out that there may have been a mix-up here. Speaking of “original stereo MIX” here, many people will remember “The Beatles MONO BOX” released in 2009. Yes, that box set includes the original mix of stereo and monaural music, and this is now considered to be the official “first original stereo CD.” However, this work is the “true first CD” that existed before that. Its natural feel is amazing. If you trace the origin, even though they are the same master tape, the finished mastering is different, and the unprocessed sound was created by simple digitization before commercialization. Most importantly, there is a 20-year gap in the timing of digitalization. Unlike LPs, which record in physical form, master tapes are magnetic. Magnetism disappears over time, and tape is physically susceptible to deterioration over time. Therefore, it is said that it is preferable to digitize it as soon as possible, and this work, which was reprinted from the 1989 Canadian edition, has a sound that is 20 years younger than “MONO BOX”. George Martin said of the 1987 remix, “I took it apart and put it back together again, pretty much the same way,” without making any major changes. The processing such as localization and effects were also very similar to the original, but “close resemblance” does not mean “same.” This work is the “true mix” at the time the historical masterpiece was produced, and it conveys the “sound 20 years younger” than the current version as it is. Of course, the “1989 Canadian CD” that was created as a result of the accident has long since been discontinued. The sound of this work will probably never be “official” in the future. However, even if what flows from this work is not “official”, it must be “real”. THE BEATLES – HELP! & RUBBER SOUL (CANADIAN CDs: 1965 ORIGINAL STEREO MIX) Disc 1(34:33) Help!
