Multi Grammy award-winning Giles Martin is a key part of the Abbey Road family, having produced and mixed many projects at the studios, with one of his most recent being the highly-anticipated #AbbeyRoad 50th anniversary reissue.
We sat down and spoke with Giles about the process behind remixing The Beatles' last recorded album, what we can expect from the project and his work at the studios.

It's pure poetry, because he's probably the only person on earth that can actually do it. He has a direct and personal relationship with the material. Can you imagine the kind of scrutiny one is exposed to when they "tinker" with The Beatles catalog? I'd have a panic attack at the board the minute they pushed play!

From what I’ve heard so far, I think Giles did a fantastic job. Does it sound like an original UK press? No, but it’s very charming in its own right. The panning of some of the instruments have been spread out nicely. There’s definitely more clarity to the instruments. Ringo’s drums have have more attack to them, especially his kick drum. Paul’s bass is more defined, etc. Can’t wait to receive my copy. I’m sure the outtakes are very cool. 🎶🔊🙂

I, too, would love to hear all that. However, one thing to keep in mind and oft-forget is that Michael Jackson purchased nearly all the rights to Beatles songs after outbidding the combined effort of both Paul and Yoko. One ironic and sad chapter in that is that it was during the sessions of Paul and Michael Jackson on their smash collaboration "Say, say, say" that Paul had mentioned to Michael that owning copyrights was a great way to make money. Then, the asshole, Michael, took "his friend's" advice and bought all the rights to Beatles songs, resulting in the fact that, at that time, whenever you heard a Beatles song, Michael would receive royalties, not The Beatles. I must admit, however, I do not know what is the present state of Beatles' royalties lies. Here is something from 2017: "McCartney lost the rights to the Beatles catalog back in 1985, when Michael Jackson outbid him when they went up for sale. Jackson paid more than $47 million for ATV, the company that had owned copyrights to Beatles songs since 1967. A decade later, Jackson sold half of his share to Sony for $100 million" I can neither confirm or deny the accuracy of my last paragraph; however, here is the source I am using 2019 Ultimate Classic Rock is part of the Loudwire Network, Townsquare Media, Inc.

Love is simply brilliant, pepper is amazing, the white album, brilliant, and Abbey Rd is excellent! I’m looking forward to what you will do with all the early albums! I’d love for the drums ect to be stereo and centered more! I feel this would make listening to their early and mid period music an even more amazing experience for both old and new fans! We old fans have everything the Beatles put out so I feel for us it would be a wonderful experience to have that style of mix! Imagine a wider, cleaner stereo mix of the A Hard Days Night Album! It would be a Wow experience for all in my humble opinion! Please please please do this for all of us Giles, we would be so great full, Ps, The Hollywood Bowl rerelease is amazing! Having said that, I loved the original when it came out here in Australia in 1977, I always love hearing boys on that album! I’m probably wrong, but I feel the drums cut through louder and punchier on boy’s because of Ringo’s vocal mic! The kick being louder adds so much more excitement!

The only problem with the Blu-ray and DVD-based issues (for the surround mixes) is that their menus have music on them which makes menu navigation absolutely maddening. If you want to see how menus should be done, check the US-based Criterion Collection or the UK-based Masters of Cinema series. Also quality classical music releases (say, Deutsche Grammophon) demonstrate quality authoring as far as the menu design goes. If you absolutely _must_ put music on the menu, make sure it starts few seconds after each selection so that a person navigating at a reasonable speed does not get assaulted by those awfully butchered snippets.

There's nothing worse than a silent menu because one is never sure if the audio settings are correct - at least for those of us with multiple audio-visual inputs. Define "reasonable speed". For me the second I hear sound on the menu I'm on to where I want to go. The sound bothers me not one iota.
@JanPBtest
@JanPBtest 4 жыл бұрын
I'm probably not explaining this very well. I'll try to post a typical menu navigation through a classical (Bach's St. Matthew Passion) and a Beatles disc to show what I mean. It's absolutely _maddening._ That's why the Rolls-Royce of DVD publishing like Criterion or Masters of Cinema use either silent menus, or menus with very quiet ambient "space" sound that _gradually fades in_ or at least _enters after a few seconds' delay._ Just try to navigate through the menus for the recent Beatles video collection: you'll end up constantly chopping off bits of very _loud_ (and very good) music. It's absolutely _unbearable._ I always set my amplifier to "Mute" before putting any disc in except the aforementioned Rolls-Royces. Also most Hollywood films have well-designed menus with good music. But all the special Beatles releases over last couple of years are just _dreadful_ in that one department. everything else is purrfect.

Nope...no mono mixes of Abbey Road were ever made...it was released in Brazil, and some other countries in mono, but they're simply a fold-down of the stereo mix...

You have to get used to the more pronounced drums and bass and the much more natural spread of the stereo image, where each instrument and vocal has more clarity and space. This is great for me because it adds a newness to songs I've heard a million times before.

It seems like we would have seen an anniversary LP edition of Magical Mystery Tour by now! Giles Martin needs to do a stereo re-mix of this one most of all. That's because much of MMT was never released in true stereo on the album pressings from most countries, which issued most of the side 2 songs in fake stereo. Germany, of course, was the exception. I guess there must be a problem with the multi-track masters, which, I guess have been lost or maybe they're just not in usable condition. Too bad. I don't see any other reasons why Giles would be ignoring this album.

I didn't think Abbey Road needed any tinkering, but I'm sure I'll love it too. Love all the new Beatles stuff (i missed them the first time round). Revolver, and perhaps Rubber Soul are the albums in need of a good modern remix. Sgt Peppers badly needed the remix.....and it sounds fantastic, thanks Giles. I think nobody knew what to do with stereo when it first happened. Things got put all over the place haphazardly. In 1966 and 1967 stereo was confused. By 1969, and Abbey Road, it was known how to make a rocking good sound.

I do like the remastered version of Abbey Road. It's probably the first of the remixes, other than the Cirque de Soli Love album mix, which was amazing. But Abbey Road was the Magnum Opus. They took special care. Everyone was on their best behavior. So to revisit it with an eye towards 'making it better' would be a challenge that I find, fantastic. I guess they're redoing Let It Be for April of 2020! I wonder if Giles wants to tackle anything on Past Masters?

For all of us Beatles freaks, I would highly suggest the bootleg titled "Unsurpassed Masters, Vol. III" Perhaps that is only the name given to it by the person I bought it from. However, it has these: Paperback Writer [takes 1 and 2] Rain [2] Tomorrow never knows [mark 1, version unknown (whatever that means] Strawberry Fields 1, 2, 3 4, 5, 6, 7 and mixes from 25, 26 and 27. My favorites are 25 - only the London Symphony Orchestra ( no singing) and 26, where it's much faster. John liked both slower and faster versions. When George Martin asked him which one to actually record John said, "I'm sure you can something do about it." So George, in his infinite wisdom, blended the two versions. That is one reason why what is heard on the released version is one of the most ephemeral and most difficult to reproduce in any song ever, let alone that this was 1966. It's kind of amazing how this one band transformed in the 60s nearly everything aspect of how we listen to music and how some people listen to music to this very day.

Maccas on board now will these deluxe editions and releases with outtakes and alternate takes. But originally he wasn’t thrilled with the idea because he said they spent a lot of the time polishing the music in the studio to record it and sound perfect. And now your going to release rough outtakes or run thrus that have mistakes? But I like to hear all that stuff and especially studio chatter.

2 weeks after "Abbey Road" was released came . . . Giles Martin! He was born on 9th October 1969, so when AR was being made, so was he! Happened to be John Lennon's birthday too (29 on that day). . . and then 6 years later came Sean (1975) again, on 9th October.

I agree with those calling for a Revolver Remix done by Giles... Revolver is my favorite Beatles album, not because the songs are necessarily the best too to bottom of any album ( you can make the case though, I always lump “ Rain/Paperback Writer in with this album), but because this was the time it seemed they were not disgruntled at all yet, they were being innovative, and the joy seemed to still be at its peak. Just a subjective opinion, but that’s the sense I get.
