Description
For his latest AI-assisted Beatles remix project, Lord Reith has turned his attention to the “late psychedelic” era, covering the span from *Magical Mystery Tour* to *Yellow Submarine*. While remixes of Beatles material—not just by him—have historically tended to focus on early tracks, this project tackles the period representing the pinnacle of their recording achievements, where they pushed the limits of 4-track recording technology. The result is magnificent, offering an experience that feels like unraveling the mysteries of those complex recordings. The first disc features Lord Reith’s remixes of these albums. We live in an era where even official releases utilize AI to revive sounds buried during the tape-reduction processes necessitated by 4-track limitations—as seen on the “Blue Album” (*1967–1970*). However, while official versions sometimes employed bold remixing techniques that altered the character of the original mixes, Lord Reith’s approach focuses on enriching the sound while preserving the original’s essence. A prime example is “I Am The Walrus.” Although an official full stereo mix was achieved for the aforementioned “Blue Album,” Lord Reith’s version is breathtaking, featuring strings that spread wide across the stereo field right from the intro; the difference is immediately apparent, especially considering the “Blue Album” kept the strings panned to the right. Furthermore, sections that originally collapsed into mono have been expertly separated, balancing individual instruments and even the spoken-word audio from the Shakespeare play with exquisite precision. *Magical Mystery Tour* dates from the tail end of the era when George Martin’s stereo mixes often panned vocals hard to one side; Lord Reith once again shines by centering the vocals. “Your Mother Should Know” is a standout in this regard; the original mix’s unnatural placement—with Paul’s voice coming from the left—is replaced by a natural, balanced arrangement that comes as a welcome relief to the listener. On the other hand, the mix for “Across The Universe” offers an intriguing twist: the sound of the birds flapping their wings is absent. Naturally, the vocals of the two female fans who participated in the original recording have been cleanly removed, resulting in a mix that is remarkably simple and refined. The latter half of Disc 1 and the entirety of Disc 2 feature session recordings and remixed outtakes that utilize rare material circulating among collectors. This is perhaps where Lord Reith truly shines. The highlights are undoubtedly the full-length versions of “It’s All Too Much” and “You Know My Name.” While it has been possible for twenty years to create extended versions by splicing together existing sources, certain sections previously existed only in mono. The true significance of this remix project lies in Lord Reith’s ability to create complete stereo versions of these tracks, including those previously mono-only sections. “You Know My Name,” in particular, has been brilliantly transformed into stereo, even in parts that had never existed in stereo before. Listening to the tracks in full, the quality is so high that one might easily mistake them for having been recorded in stereo from the very beginning. The separation and vividness of the various sound effects—which escalate as the song progresses—are also superb. Furthermore, the mixes for the various takes of “Strawberry Fields Forever” unearth sounds that were previously faint or buried, offering surprising revelations about the guitar work. As for “Christmastime (Is Here Again),” the track is a marvel; not only does it reveal the acoustic guitar playing with newfound clarity, but the reconstruction—incorporating monitor mix sources—is truly impressive. Both the “Album” disc (Disc 1) and the “Sessions” disc (Disc 2) are flawless in terms of sound quality and execution. These mixes reveal the secrets of the Beatles’ late-period psychedelic recordings with audio quality that rivals—and in some ways matches—official stereo mixes. I highly recommend listening closely with headphones to appreciate the differences.
