It's funny how, when the Anthologies were released, everyone said, 'we scraped the bottom of the barrel.' Then all of the sudden, 5 box sets crammed with more stuff.

@brenthooton3412 27 күн бұрын

I suspect, at the time, they underestimated what fans were interested in hearing (and willing to pay for). They were thinking in terms of unreleased songs (Leave My Kitten Alone, That Means a Lot) and maybe takes that were dramatically different from the released versions (Strawberry Fields, And Your Bird Can Sing). They weren't thinking that we would be interested in things like a slightly different unused take of Revolution with no overdubs, or the promo version of Penny Lane that is exactly the same until the trumpet comes back at the very end.

It's great when a Beatles fan gets to visit Abbey Road studios. I'll never forget my visit there in July 1983 when it was opened to the public for the very first time. They decided to open the studio and also give a 90 minute audio/video presentation of never before heard Beatles material. They were remodeling and upgraded the studio 2 control room for about 2 months so they thought why not sell tickets for a tour and presentation while the room is not in use. They used those famous Altec 605A/612 grey monitors for the sound. I'll never forget hearing actual Beatles live takes at full volume in that room where they happened from the monitors they used.

That must have been an incredible experience for a Beatles fan! In the 1990s, a guy I know played me a recording of his band using professional (to me) equipment in his basement. If I had my eyes closed, I'd swear the band was in the room. With that in mind, I can picture what your experience must have been like.

@nedhoey 27 күн бұрын

@@Paul_Wetor It certainly was an incredible experience. It was the closest one could ever get to a Beatles live experience when the third track played was take 1 of I Saw Her Standing There with the studio chatter prior to the start from the marathon session on Feb.11 1963. It leaped out of the monitors and filled the darkened room as if they were right there. All the material played would appear on legendary bootlegs and then eventually on the Anthology discs later in the 90s.

Fabulous interesting episode, I have walked across the Abbey Road crossing (which Beatles fan hasn't) but never been inside the studio. I love that they have some of the old gear and put a high value on preservation of the vintage gear onsite while being a cutting edge recording studio but understands the importance of the legacy of the music made there. I am so pleased some of these very important people gave their time to be interviewed so we learn more. There has always been debates about what should be released and what is interesting to us Beatles fans so the admission of the strummed version of Julia that made it onto the bonus disc revealed by Matthew is testament that there is still so much to learn and so much fascinating material still to hear. Thanks Andrew

Like so many others, I grew up with the Beatles and when I DJed in the 1980s, the CD releases were something I snapped up on release. I also picked up the Complete Beatles Recording Sessions and learned that book inside out. I thought in doing so, I'd understood everything as far as their recorded output but of course, I should have realised that even from the Beatles they would mirror what I did too. When you're recording and there's urgency you don't tend to care about cataloguing or following procedure exactly. You go for what's at hand. So later when the Anthologies came out, I was a bit surprised to find more "lost" stuff on the tapes that had supposedly already been gone through. And yet again we are still finding stuff today. I'm no longer surprised of course as I now realise how these things happen, but it shows the importance of making sure.

Another fascinating interview. Your time at Abbey Road was well spent. Mr. Cocker, I think, misspeaks at one point (at about 13:20) when he tells us the most difficult project he worked on was the multi-track recordings from Twickenham. If I'm not mistaken, there are no multi-track recordings Twickenham, only the Nagra recordings made by the film crew. During their time at Twickenham they were not recording an album, only rehearsing and working up new songs for the potential live show, so no multi-track recording machines were needed. After George was convinced to return to the fold, they reconvened at the Apple studio in the basement of 3 Saville Rd. Note that the dates of the EMITAPE boxes you show are all dated from the latter part of January, when they were recording at Apple on multi-track tape.

I could not pass up the opportunity to be in that space, to feel it, hear it and as you pointed out smell it. The top on the list of things I must do before I die.

Even though they reused the 2-inch videotape that Doctor Who was recorded on, nearly all of the episodes survived as film copies up until 1972 for use in overseas screenings. After that point, they started to get junked as overseas sales dried up for the 60s B&W episodes. It’s sad to realize what could have been saved if archival efforts started a few years earlier. Having said that, they were about to destroy a large batch of episodes in 1978 (including the first Dalek story) when smarter heads intervened. Depending on who you talk to, those episodes were only a day or two away from destruction.

Thank you for sharing your experience Andrew! I bet it must've been an amazing adventure! I went to the UK back in '97 and '02, and both times I visited Abbey Road. That said, I only got to glimpse the outside of the building. You put me inside the building as if I were there, and for that, I thank you again!

I'm not a technical person, but I thoroughly enjoyed this interview with Mr. Cocker and grateful that EMI is preserving its treasures. I'm going to have to dig out my White Album box set and listen to "Julia." Thank you for the studio tour. I'm looking forward to next week's video.

Thank you Matthew for preserving and restoring my favorite music especially from the Beatles and thank you for reserving in finding that I’ll take them Julia where John is talking to George Martin I think that is one of the best in the White album super deluxe box set. Along with the tomorrow never knows early mix from the revolver super deluxe box set I not only want to thank you Matthew but all of the engineers and all of the people at Abbey Road he’ll do a great job at preserving beetle stuff along with other stuff at that wonderful studio.

Amazing video! There was a time in the early 2000s when EMI was about to sell the studios or to open them up to the public a little more and make some money that way. I'm glad they decided for the latter.

16:15 re: Revolver "And then, of course, the project didn't come out until much later, but at least then all that work had been done in preparation for it..." This suggests that Revolver might not have been the last one he's been involved with - only the last one where he's not currently subject to a non-disclosure agreement!

Would love to go there. I did meet Richard Lush assistant engineer on Sgt Peppers at an album launch party. Was a very interesting chat. Nice guy to understate. As a beatles fan I can't get enough of this content. Seeing inside Studio 301 Sydney was great but this is the holy grail. The Beatles revolutionised modern music in a massive way. In hundreds of years people will still know of them and fathom their influence. The Beatles and other legacy artists are saving the record industry selling a plethora of remixes and remasters and box sets. If I had unlimited money I would want the master tape versions of all the beatles albums. These I know would be at least 5 removed from the real masters no one sees. Slave or safety master from very original then the production masters etc etc so even at big bucks these tapes if they were to exist are a little lossy. Then there is your machine lol and storage. So many factors.

I’ve been inside Abbey Road, studio two, control room and echo chamber several times listening to talks by Brian Kehew and Kevin Ryan which come highly recommended. I also own one of just 210 studio two bricks that were for sale a few years ago after a small studio refurbishment. I was lucky enough to buy the actual brick (number 38 of 210) that was used as the photography and display sample together with the display stand which they gave and posted to me for free. It’s my most treasured possession knowing it soaked up all the sounds from opening day to the present day.
