[simonspiers]

Sl1200 MK2?



[melissa24mnm]

is this all one song???

[rjciccone]

@melissa24mnm On the 'Abbey Road' album, most of Side 2 was taken up by several short songs that segued together (meaning they seamlessly blended into one another, no clean breaks between them) -- these are considered three separate songs, but the three of them run into each other, to sound as if one big song with three sections. The same thing is with Golden Slumbers, Carry that Weight, and The End. This is referred to as a medley, when songs (moreso, song fragments) blend together as a whole

[ElectroHousejunie]

@rjciccone its also called a "medley" isnt it ? Or should there be a difference ? thx in advance

PS: Vinyl´s still the best ! :P

[daveysan]

She's a go-getter!

[Gerellz6496]

Awesome bass!



[rjciccone]

@Gerellz6496 It's Paul McCartney on the bass, of course it's awesome

[Gerellz6496]

@rjciccone I meant that the bass is loud, and yes Paul McCartney is the King of the Bass rumours say George played bass on this song though.

[Gerellz6496]

@rjciccone I meant the bass is much more powerful on vinyl =D

[rjciccone]

@Gerellz6496 that's what I thought! Bass on vinyl has more of a punch than on CD and surely MP3, almost all of the time.

[michaelaepp]

@rjciccone 'fuzz bass', sounds like the piano may be playing along too.

[TheBeechingAxe]

The horrible sound quality off this LP is the reason I sold all my records !!

[kagomie]

@TheBeechingAxe Trolololo

[SunTeleLeo]

@TheBeechingAxe

you bet )))

[averagebusinessmen2]

@Mryoursuchanoob the video may be in 240, but the audio in 1080.

[MrYoursuchanoob]

But why is it only in 240p? ;)

[MrYoursuchanoob]

Love the LP recordings on youtube.

[bootleboy79]

Awesome my freind, awesome!!!!!!

[TheJeebieJar]

lol How scouse do they sound on polythene pam !? What an album !!!

[hawking8]

The last recorded Beatles album (tho not the last released). Might as well go out at the top!



[pujols37105]

My mom bought a Fisher Price record player for us when my brother and I were kids. We were supposed to listen to the children theme records designed for it, but I'd always reach into my dad's Beatles record collection and play them on it. The sound quality was lousy, but I'll always remember the rotating apple and my mom being concerned about me finding Mean Mr. Mustard amusing.

[BloodShotNow]

i love polythen pam i wish it was 4 minutes long.

[TheCodedAtheist]

Ha! Stanton STR8-80s. My first pair of decks!

[alaxyoung1]

Either something went wrong,

Or this sounds totally flat compared with

even the first CD release in the 80s.

No, this is much poorer than on CD ;

Maybe its his hardware.....

[GogorisChannel]

@alaxyoung1

This person is not recording straight into the PC. This sounds like a microphone recording the audio.

[rjciccone]

@GogorisChannel yes, this clip is simply where I pointed a video camera at the turntable and turned up the speakers loud. I stopped doing this lazy-man way, and now any 'vinyl video' clip is direct to PC.

[929myohmy]

@alaxyoung1 Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Slightly slower speed maybe?

[929myohmy]

@alaxyoung1 Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Slightly slower speed maybe? I only notice it at the start.

[SunlessGuild]

Tch, with sound quality like this who needs CD's and MP3's?!

[beatlesfan464]

These 3 songs should have been released as a single.

[rjciccone]

@beatlesfan464 And the b-side would have been Golden Slumbers/Carry that Weight/The End, and you'd have one seriously epic Beatles single.

[stevies5]

"Takes him ou to look at the queen, always shouts out something obscene"

The Beatles knew about Tourettes amongst a whale of other stuff!

What a band!

[flappjak100]

is that record a remastered(like myne) or an original??

[rjciccone]

@flappjak100 this is an original

[ChazYocom]

I wonder if they are going to put every single album (remastered) onto vinyl again! Or better yet, release it around Christmas, oh and it would be cool if they put the original Parlophone/Apple labels on the LP's, and put it in a Vinyl-Box set!!! Only this time, release over 1 million box sets better that like a Limited Edition!!!

[rjciccone]

@ChazYocom If there was enough of a market demand for the Beatles remasters on vinyl, then it just might happen ... the Rolling Stones just put out their entire studio vinyl LP output over two box sets ... the Beatles could do a stereo and a mono box like the CDs from last year. Only a matter of time ... they always find ways to make the "Beatles for sale"

[ninjaerik]

@rjciccone Now i saw the Abbey Road Album record for sale at my Best Buy for 12 dollars

[rjciccone]

@ninjaerik There are several used LP copies of Abbey Road on eBay and for less than 1/2 of what Best Buy would charge for a new copy (this includes shipping) might want to take a chance on a used copy -- I buy vinyl from eBay all the time and for the most part it works out fine.

[ninjaerik]

@rjciccone Yea it was 12 dollars which i thought it was a little too much and its more like around a 10 dollar item

[rjciccone]

@ninjaerik You should be able to find used LP copies for one or two dollars on eBay or a garage sale.

[imdriver39]

It's about the music guys......which is brilliant!! Still can't get enough of this medley, from my favorite Beatles album!! :)

[outlawcountryman]

when i bought my copy of abbey road today, this was the first song i played. it sounded superb

[rjciccone]

@outlawcountryman good for you -- I saw that today was the day the Beatles music was finally made available on iTunes ... that people would still rather hear them on vinyl says something

[outlawcountryman]

@rjciccone you got that right. and when i saw the beatles were on itunes i had a cow, i dont purchase from itunes, but an agreement of both apple records, and apple inc is hard to comprehend they have been filing lawsuits for 30 years kinda hard to figure it, i guess paul and ringo figured they could make alot of folks happy and make some more money to..

[rjciccone]

@outlawcountryman Beatles on iTunes yet another way for them to sell the songs and indeed the decades-old lawsuits now finally history. For many who have the CDs and records, not much of a big deal, but it's cool that folks who want just a few songs, not a whole album can now get legit downloads.

[MrJonno2]

i me, excellent sorry for yous that missed that time period.

[knallhartbaerchen]

Mr Mustard and Polythene Pam is for sure a couple and is so good not to seperate them. The belong together forever. And I heard, that Mr. Mustard is a friend of Frank Zappa's "Wino man ("Wonderful Wino",Zoot Allures)". Thx for posting.

[karlmcewan85]

Your turntable is fuckin cool :)

[lexi41269]

it's all about technics

[steph32984]

Three songs you just have to hear in their original order. LOVE.

[YellowUkuleleKid]

hehe. I have this recond too. Its pretty amazing. This is my fave Beatles song- along with Ocotpus's Garden

[HighlyIllogical77]

No fair you have a Beatles record..... :-(

[stivick11]

Vinyl is awesome. With the greatest band ever.....what can I say.

[chrishay29]

they just don't make them like this any more what a pitty

[russellharman]

saving up to buy him some coke!

[rfranklinw1]

i bought all their albums when they first were released. still have them lol. vinyl is best but cds are sooo convenient .

[sk8erguy246]

@jonmonbuckeye1, i wouldnt go that far, what about revolver or sgt pepper's?

[disengage1984]

Niiiiiice vintage! I've got this album molded into a torilla shape shell, makes a nice fruit basket.

[tealemat]

Chromatic power chords, time change. High energy D, A, E on acoustic guitar. Transitions between songs very good. Harmonies on "She came..." excellent.

[joethulhuz]

@13lostlove13 They also have inferior (digital) sound quality, which is probably the main reason.

[narred]

@13lostlove13 i know whatn u mean but i always kinda liked mini disc. i still got my MD player and the discs still work as new. they can't be scratched cos they in a little case. same capacity as a cd too.

[rjciccone]

@13lostlove13 Vinyl just sounds better than CDs and MP3 files - long as the vinyl is in at least good condition and you have a good enough turntable and needle.

[sadeviant]

@13lostlove13 yeah, vinyl never gets scratched. ever.

[AlternativeBaroque]

@13lostlove13 You're fourteen. You weren't even alive when vinyl was still a viable, marketable format. You've never owned a real record player, you've likely never owned any vinyl, and your only exposure has been to people like me who HAVE owned it and like to view it through rose-tinted glasses. Vinyl now is only marketed in small amounts to a niche, hipster market of other fourteen-year-olds and so-called "audiophiles" who conveniently forget its drawbacks.

[AlternativeBaroque]

@13lostlove13 Furthermore, if you're going to be an analog snob, at least be one about a medium which deserves it. Such as hi-fi reel-to-reel. Oh wait, but you probably don't know what that is.

[AlternativeBaroque]

@13lostlove13 No, I just get a kick out of children who try to sound smart by liking things that are "retro". Vinyl might sound better, but everything else you said in your statement was wrong. Objectively speaking, CDs are more durable and cheaper to own and produce. Modern CD players can overlook most scratches, plus you can clean scratches off CDs. Vinyl wears out remarkably fast without immaculate care, and even then it's just counting down the clock. Voice of experience, right here, buddy.

[AlternativeBaroque]

@13lostlove13 How about you don't say stupid shit and then you won't have to get butthurt when people call you out on it? That sounds like a better plan, to me.

[SuperMeanmrmustard]

where did you get this album at/ please answer.

[rjciccone]

@SuperMeanmrmustard I'm not entirely sure exactly where I got this copy of 'Abbey Road', could have been give to me as part of someone's LP collection they gave away, could've been from a thrift store.

[SuperMeanmrmustard]

@rjciccone thank you

[jonmonbuckeye1]

I absolutely love this album. This was the pinnacle album for the Beatles.

[rjciccone]

@jonmonbuckeye1 Arguably their best album - and as a friend once pointed out years ago, surprisingly chocked with superb guitar leads and playing in general.

[scottnowell]

@jonmonbuckeye1

I've always thought this was the best. Sgt. Pepper is vastly over-rated. This section here is my fav. Beatles piece.

[winterlandboy]

Hearing vinyl again,even on a fclip is great and sooooo superior to crap CD or digital downloaded compressed rubbish,

Instead opf raising the bar as we've "progressed" the bar just keeps getting lower ..in everything..and we just except it as the norm.

Fuck that for a game of soldiers

[tokyoisfun]

Ringo's best drumming ever. It sounds so much better on vinyl 33 1/3 too, not anything like it on CD.

[MrRobwalters]

That is one of the best versions of that tricle o tunes. I have witnessed. FABOULOSO ALBUM!

[FLOWERfreind]

ooooooooohhh :)

[neonHEARTSbitches]

uhh its almost sickly unatural how fantastic i find this song

[reddragonpa]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDD <3333333333333

[SpideyFan1]

My record player plays half a key higher. Do you know why?

[rjciccone]

if you have a belt-drive turntable, see if changing the belt will do the trick

[sgntpepper95]

it might be spinning to fast

[NGC1235]

50Hz Mains?

[morsimaniman]

@SpideyFan1 cause it plays faster!lol(f**kin 'ell)

[fatcatbuzz]

Nice, but you should have started the song with Sun King. The Beatles come out so much better on vinyl.

[rjciccone]

I really should have started with "You Never Give Me Your Money" since it segues into "Sun King" then the three songs of the medley "Mustard/Pam/Window" but the time limitations made that not possible -- besides "Sun King" can stand alone -- whereas these three and "Slumbers/Weight/the End" are both "three-in-one" songs

[fatcatbuzz]

To me, "You Never..." is its own song. When ever I listen to these song I just start with "Sun King," but I know the radio usually plays the version you have posted. Still nice to hear it posted on vinyl. What is genius about The Beatles is that these songs were recorded seperately I believe. I have to dig out The Complete Recording Sessions book. If you find it you should read it. A must have for any Beatles fan.

[rjciccone]

I have that "Complete Recording Sessions" book by Mark Lewisohn - pretty amazing book filled with lots of details. Polythene Pam, and Bathroom Window were recorded as one. The book points out that M M Mustard's ending chord is found at the beginning of H Majesty - you can splice the ending of Mustard with the beginning of Majesty and see that this is the case.

[kenfig]

I got that book too rj ; its an awesome book yeah ? i loved readin' it all an often dip back in it to re-read bits again !

[Connor6742]

@fatcatbuzz Ha, I actually start the medley on Because. I just like the affect of hearing the next song being You Never Give Me Your Money. It just sounds affective to me.
