For instance, “When I’m 64” is the version on the final album but prior to the addition of clarinets. Many of these are instrumental takes and some of the ones with vocals are the basic, un-dubbed master takes. It should be understood going in: there isn’t really any buried treasure among these outtakes, in terms of complete versions. The other two audio discs contain the the most expansive Apple vault offering since the mid-’90s Anthology series. This new stereo mix sounds like a punchier, fuller, and overall more detailed expansion of the mono. The balance of the instrumentation and effects is notably different in the mono-something which was new to many listeners in 2009 when it made its official debut on CD. The mono mix was the vision labored over for weeks by the band and George Martin. The new mix, by Giles Martin and Abbey Road Studios engineer Sam Okell, attempts to create a stereo expansion of the original mono version (which is, in fact, part of the package on its own disc). Purists take note: the one thing you won’t find in the six-disc, lavishly packaged Sgt. The remixes were subtle, tasteful, and hinted at a future in which the stereo mixes would make more sonic sense than in their original form. But after that there wasn’t too much to get excited about until the 2015 reissue of the 1 compilation, entirely remixed by Giles Martin (son of the late Beatles’ producer Sir George). With that batch of 2009 remasters, the first four albums were finally available in stereo and all of their mono mixes were now on disc. It was bad enough waiting 22 years for the band’s catalog to simply be remastered following their CD debut in 1987.
Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band boxed set has been a long time coming. For Beatles fans, a Super Deluxe release like the new Sgt.
