I’m not a Beatles fan as such- I’m a very casual (and very occasional) listener, but I’ve had these on non-stop for a week. They sound thrilling. I can’t tell whether that’s just because the music is so great or if it’s the new polish. Or both. But listening has been an absolute joy.

[@drewengel7073]

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" had always been on the Blue Album, you show the song sheet next to when you say George only had three songs.

[@Warmo767]

Yeah nah. Some of the remixing is not as good as the original remastered. "Now and then" doesn't even rank with "Twist and shout".

I was listening to the blue album in my car on the way to work this morning, and Magical Mystery Tour came on. I actually exclaimed out loud to myself "THERE'S A GUITAR IN THIS???" 45 years of listening to that song, and I never really noticed the guitar. The Beatles are the gift that keeps on giving.

The difference between a young, perceptive person such as yourself reviewing these albums and the 50 plus Nay-sayers is truly thought provoking. This is by far the most informative and motivating review I have seen so far ❤

52 year old here and AMEN mate. I love these albums remixed. The older songs sound really fresh.

[@dorkydoodle3573]

The remix of Hard Day’s Night is so spectacular I didn’t even realize Ringo going ham on the bongos in the original 😭

[@PowerPackers90]

My dad passed away in 2019 and had the original release from the 70s of these. He would always listen to them still when I was a kid, and they're what made me become a Beatles fan myself. Sadly, they got damaged when we moved back when I was in high school. So when I heard that, they were getting rereleased. I just jumped on pre-ordering these new copies and maybe play them for my kids one day. If I ever have any.

I think an underrated song on these albums is the new mix of "You Can't Do That". The backing vocals just pop so much more, and the "everybody's green" bit just goes even harder.

[@ROBYNMARKOW]

I always thought that lyric was “Everybody’s Grieving “ 😅

So refreshing to hear someone who’s a fan of and praising these reissues, rather than being a bitter old gatekeeper angrily clutching on to their original mono copies (which most of us can’t even acquire since none of them are in print and clean originals are prohibitively expensive). These new mixes sound phenomenal and certainly miles better than the original stereo mixes IMO. I fully enjoyed every single second of spinning each disc. 😊

[@NokiTravels]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the new mix of You Can't Do That, holy cow does that mix bring such an unbelievable punch. Best mix of them all in my opinion

[@Mackerdaymia]

Oh my god, completely agree. What a tune.

[@DigitaIJustice]

The harmonies on the early songs sound excellent. Appreciating each of their voices singing together is my favorite part of Beatles music

[@Rickywwx]

This makes it all the more tragic that if I fell was not included in the new release 😢

[@eyeyayayay]

My parents had the red album. As a young boy growing up in the 1980s I made sure we played it all the time. Then in the 1990s on a high school trip I bought a cassette tape of the blue album, probably only my third or fourth ever album purchase. Listening to my walkman on the bus, hearing Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane for the first time, I was hooked forever.

[@MitchelGant]

The old stereo mixes sound abysmal through headphones. Paperback Writer and Taxman are particularly bad. Thanks for your hard work ✌️

[@The_One-Eyed_Undertaker]

Damn right he is a so-so drummer! As a matter of fact, he is not even the best drummer in the band: Paul is!

[@brandzai]

An aunt from my mother's side had the blue and red albums, and when I was about 7 that was my first real listen to the Beatles, quietly with my head buried in the speaker while the grown-ups were talking. Then I discovered that an uncle from my dad's side had them, too, making me think well, if so many people have these albums, and I like the music, there must be something in this. That was over 45 years ago and now not a week goes by without me listen to something Beatlely. Thank you, Elliot, for your great videos and insights. I enjoy them tremendously.

[@Keither754]

22:36 I know quite a few other comments have pointed it out already, but “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” *was* already included on the original Blue album. You can easily tell which songs were added by looking at the 2023 Vinyl track listings. - all of the new tracks for each album were added to the last LP disc (sides 5 and 6) in each set.

[@GlennDavey]

I DID grow up with the Red and Blue albums in the 90's, and looking at the track sequencing - how each song leads into the next, and which songs start each side - it brings back memories that this was actually my first introduction to their catalog.

[@robadr13]

I was struck for some reason by your comment that you got into the Beatles through the '1' and 'Love' albums. As a member of an older generation who experienced the Beatles 'as they happened' through the 1960s, it's always a slight shock to imagine people hearing the Beatles for the first time through those compilations, decades after their time. Of course anyone under 60 years old has to experience them in that way, but your comment just struck a chord with me. 🙂 I realized I can't really know how their music sounds when approached that way. I think of the Beatles very sequentially, how they sounded in 1963 and how they changed every year through the rest of the 1960s. It's wonderful that people still appreciate their music, but it's also hard to know exactly how they are hearing it. Does it sound the same to all of us? Are we hearing the same things? How do we hear the different eras? I basically still experience them as 'revolutionary'...the excitement of the new that so many songs conveyed, whether it was 'Twist and Shout' and 'She Loves You' in late 1963, or 'Strawberry Fields' barely 3 years later, and I still often hear (and relive) that newness and excitement when I listen to many of their tracks. That obviously can't be the same for someone listening to them several decades later - it must be the simple quality of the music that attracts them, but I'm not sure that I hear them that way. Interesting (?). 🙂 I do like most of the new mixes. They bring the songs into the modern era and inject new life into them, while still being completely recognizable as the original recordings. Just a random ramble on my part...I enjoy your insights.

[@Dreamer98-l9t]

I´m 23 and i also deep on the Beatles on the 1 album, its pretty good for knowing the most recognizable songs, then you can just delve into your favourites, mine is the Antology 2-3

[@emmarossiter8168]

Also, every single one of these Giles Martin album remixes has been life-changing for me as a huge fan of Ringo's drumming. That bit in the new mix of Please Please Me that you highlight at 11:08 gave me full-body chills the first time I heard it (and continues to!), and I still remember crying at how beautiful the drums sounded on Long, Long, Long when I listened to the remixed White Album after it first came out in 2018. It's so exciting seeing those drum parts shine in new ways with each new mix that's released.

[@Steven66b]

Of all the Beatle KZbinrs, your channel is by far the standout. Informative, genuine, and accurate. Well done.

[@luffa96]

Listening to the older songs remixed honestly felt like I was hearing them for the first time again. Giles Martin did a wonderful job and man I cannot wait for Rubber Soul and Help! remixes!

[@TheRealStarspeed]

Getting to hear these tracks remixed has been a DREAM. I'm in full agreement on being as excited as I was for the Red Album more so than the Blue Album, and hearing how the new stereo mixes for their earliest stuff is so cathartic. I actually hadn't heard about the mixing troubles with "I Am the Walrus", and it does make a lot of sense as to why it feels strangely muddled compared to the other tracks. This is especially baffling because in my opinion, I thought they NAILED the mix they did for the "Love" album, which not only preserves the sound quality, but maintains all the elements so nothing feels overshadowed... versus the new mix, where the orchestra completely got lost in the cacophony of radio sounds, which I was disappointed by. But other than that, I love these new mixes! I'm curious as to why they didn't include "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love" when "Now and Then" got the special inclusion treatment, but I'm just happy with the treasure trove they already gave us. :D

[@jesserussell7242]

I think the reason why we are alive and free as a bird was not included as I think you’re going to be remix for the anthology which does need remixing and expanding and we do need an audio version of real love and free as a Bird cleaned up since it’s available on the oneplus from 2015 those two songs.

[@McMastersofficial]

I’m so glad I’m not the only who thought the same thing about the I am the walrus mix. I think because THE George Martin worked on the Love mixes they sound the way a Beatles song would sound if it was made with modern production

[@jesserussell7242]

@@McMastersofficial I love that I am the walrus remix I think that’s the best remix ever it’s fantastic just as great as the love mix and I love the radio coming through it’s fantastic

[@funkmon]

Real love and free as a bird sucked IMO. The new one is actually good.

[@brunosamppa]

"Love" was Remixed by Paul Hicks.

[@PatchworkGirl1113]

I grew up on the red and blue albums. They were my introduction to the beatles and were constantly in the CD player of my moms car. Hearing these new remixes takes me right back there in the best way and I'm so excited for it!

[@barkboingfloom]

I always enjoyed those mixes with two instruments and lead vocals in one channel and two instruments plus backing vocals in the other channel. As a youngster it helped me appreciate the different instruments being played when I could separate them.

[@brunoneiva6418]

I was listening it all in my car radio and it is OUTSTANDING. My gf and i were so mindblown with the quality of the tracks that we didn't said a word during the whole trip. We just sat there and listened to it quietly as i drove. Of course when I got home I started to listen to it in my headphones

[@Jason.Brayshaw]

You Can't Do That and Magical Mystery Tour really blew me away. So glad to see If I Needed Someone.

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Magical Mystery Tour is one of my favourite Beatles tracks, so I'm so happy it's sounding better than it ever has before. Twist and Shout is another one of my favourites, but it's now competing with Please Please Me purely thanks to this remaster!

[@goodloverice9797]

I'm a pretty new Beatles fan (started listening to them in May this year) and even though I have already listened to all their studio album I always had an intrest in listening to the Red and Blue albums and I was especially excited when they announced the new mixes! I can't wait till I can get my hands on them!!

[@Earlywinters09]

I'm sitting here listening to the remixed Red Album for the first time and I am hearing things I didn't even know existed in the prior versions of these songs. As a Beatles fan who actually saw them play on the Ed Sullivan Show back in the day this is really quite exciting. The remix shows just what good musicians they were on their respective instruments!

[@kblixt]

I love most of the remixes on the red album tbh. I do love the Magical Mystery Tour remixes as well

[@timgrace767]

Your red/blue attire isn’t missed … great overview! Your choice of sound samples is just what I needed to send me shopping for a new addition to my Beatles collection. Thank you!

[@davidbaird6910]

I just love the clarity of these mixes. All instruments and voices are clean and sharp and the stereo spread is bloody brilliant. The bass and drums, the 'engine room', really knocked my socks off and I've been listening to the band for all but fifteen of my seventy-five years. Great job, Giles!

[@ShoesoffBand]

just want to say on behalf on my fellow Beatles fans in the comments, watching your videos is a great time. Feels just like discussions with my friends talking about this amazing band . Thanks from the UK

[@BlustoyourRay]

Has Peter Jackson entered “The 5th Beatle” conversation?

[@Pendletones77]

Yeah yeah yeah!

[@walterwhitejr.445]

The first Beatles album I owned as a kid in the early 1980's was the Red Album, so this was like coming full circle. Everything was a revelation, across both sets. But the greatest moment, for me, was listening to one of my all-time favorite tracks, "The Long and Winding Road", a song of love, abandonment, and yearning written by Paul... immediately followed up by "Now and Then", a song of love, abandonment, and yearning written by John. Those two together keep bringing me to tears having provoked a full-on catharsis regarding my father when I first heard them, so now I tread carefully. But damn... 'effing BEAUTIFUL.

[@brainysmurf1125]

I've never really taken the chance to appreciate their older songs, so I love this how this video is making me appreciate these new mixes. Thanks Elliott!

[@WhatHandlesAreAvailable]

Recently go into the Beatles just before now and then, loving your videos as an introduction!

[@LBAW]

Truly LOVE the I Am The Walrus remix. I actually jumped a bit when Ringo’s drums came in as I didn’t expect them to be so powerful. And I also love the leaning in on the tape collage. I didn’t like the Hey Bulldog remix though. It sounds off in a way I can’t explain.

[@Nerkin610]

For me, the problem with the new “Hey Bulldog” mix is that it’s too centre-right heavy. There’s very little action in the left field, only the piano really, which makes it sound out of balance. There aren’t too many layers to the song, so it’s a difficult one to balance perfectly, but I think the “Yellow Submarine Songtrack” mix got as close as possible with the piano and drums together on the left, killer lead bass alone on the right (sometimes joined by lead guitar) and vocals in the middle.

[@brettalbert3276]

Hello. Thanks for all your reviews. I'm a huge Beatles fan from age 6, and I'm now 55! A lot of people are putting down these new mixes in reviews, but I think they are expecting the old mixes, just better. I am listening from Giles Martin's perspective of "modernizing" them. I hear complaints about too much bass, but honestly even the Beatles wanted more bass - and it's still well balanced with the other instruments and vocals. One reviewer said She Loves You sounds flat - that's just incorrect. It sounds amazing! I love the drums being more out front. People complain about hearing bongos in Hard Days Night - I've always heard them. Now they actually sound like bongos! Even I am the Walrus: I like that it's different, shorter, less repetitive-and hearing the radio parts as never heard before. I enjoy it all! My favorites: Day Tripper, Hey Bulldog, Magical Mystery Tour, If I Needed Someone, Norwegian Wood, Nowhere Man!! Too many to mention. And I think Now and Then is such a great song - I judge a great song when it stays in your head for days & days. In 1984 I started a band called Now & Then - full circle...

[@cynthiaforsythe8989]

Exciting video! I was blown away by the sound of those early Red songs. Oh my gosh - I’m in the room with the Beatles playing live!

[@lasinalma]

I heard the Love me Do remix the day before the video for Now and Then came out. I almost cried, it was as if I was listening to it for the first time, I jumped back nearly 30 years to when I heard it on my Walkman non stop. I can't say exactly why, but it created that feeling of "first time experiencing something"

[@gongandfriends]

The magical mystery tour movie is one of my favourite movies.. ever

[@snowbirdlady7221]

Wow! I am one of those people who have been a Beatles fan since 1963 and all my life I only heard their music one way - recorded. When I finally got to see Paul live in his first solo tour in years, I was struck by how their early Beatles songs sounded live! A little different, and John and George not harmonizing, but how exciting and electric! Thanks for bringing these new versions to my, and everyone's, attention. They sound so great! A whole new Beatles experience for original fans and new fans. Thank you Giles and Peter Jackson for making it possible. Love your videos Elliot!

[@barnacles1138]

I spent a day rebuilding mono versions of the albums as playlists on Apple Music, sourced from the US albums compilation.

[@longdivision9831]

my...GOD!! Magical Mystery Tour sounds so good. Punchy drums, the harmonies being so open, George's guitar now seperated from the acoustic and panned to the right. So cool!

[@halfgermanantony]

You are only one to mention the difficulty for Giles Martin at the end of Walrus. Explains a lot. I don't mind the new ending but some are furious about it.

[@simoncarmichael5471]

Love the new Blue (Magical Mystery Tour was previously a song which I’d previously thought pretty ordinary by Beatles standards, but the new version is…wow!!!) but it’s the Red which has blown me away…everything about it is great but it’s really the Paul and Ringo show…Ringo’s drums always sounded great but now they’re extra great, but the revelation to me is Paul’s bass…it just packs such a massive punch, you don’t just hear it, you actually feel it.

[@GoldvsGaming]

Fantastic video (as always), Elliot! I've also been really loving the remixes, even showing my mom and friends how heavenly "Magical Mystery Tour" sounds! They loved it!

[@nebzila]

Great review. I only just clocked that Paul's brother Mike is in the "All You Need Is Love" recording and video.

[@DavidCKendall]

I ADORE 'Old Brown Shoe' ! IT'S SO CLEVER and Paul's bass work is for the ages. Yet, while it's crisper, there's mixing errors with volume and seperation at 34 seconds in. Giles splits up what apparently fixes to George's riff into right and left channel tracks at tragically different volumes, whereas the intention is to put all George's guitar on one track to cover up the fixes. To me and millions of others, this is an important song in George's canon. Compare 2023 with Past Masters Remastered versions. I think you'll be surprised and somewhat disappointed at the error, like so many of us.

[@jariehaider5413]

I really hope they mix all the albums like this, pleaseeeee

[@moviemaestro800]

What's especially striking to me about these remixes is how much the kick drum really...well...KICKS in so many of these remixes, compared to before. Paperback Writer, and I Am the Walrus were pretty much always among the faves, but I didn't know how much I could enjoy them more with intensified kick drum.

[@Keither754]

1:58 have you ever done a full video on just the LOVE album ?? Thanks!

[@shawnlennon1947]

My favorite remix is I am the walrus. They took out that real high pitch thing in the middle so you can really crank up the volume. John’s vocal sounds so great. And I love for that extra little ending they let go for longer. It’s like a radio tuning orchestra loop.

[@ocgmercury]

He’s right, it’s definitely different, but I think it might be my favorite mix of the song, that or the Love version

[@shawnlennon1947]

I wish I wouldve listened a bit longer to hear that it actually wasn't extended, it was completely re made. so interesting. I didn't hear the "...father, bless you" at the end but as I re listen I can hear it. @@ocgmercury

[@cdog1602]

These remixes are completely mind blowing and I really hope they do more because for me I have a hard time pulling the different instruments apart so being able to truly hear all of the different instruments and harmonies clear as day was such an immersive amazing experience! I hope they remix all the earlier albums, I need them :) amazing video and you captured exactly what I was thinkin

[@0010Kev]

Thanks for the review Elliot! This release brings back specific memories for me. When the original set came out in 1973 i was 13 and didnt really have any money. Therefore any recording i had of the Beatles were taped off the radio or (Lol) recorded off the tv saturday morning cartoon show! When the red and blue albums came out i talked my sister into buying the red album for me. If for no other reason ill love her forever for that! Well i thought id died and gone to heaven. The sound of those songs was fabulous! Of course there were songs i hadnt heard before so that just started opening up th Beatles universe even more for me! I really hope these new verxiins do the same thing for kids today.

[@salt9574]

The way you edited your voice going from the left to right channel was amazing.

[@miguelandrescalixcueva4442]

I personally love the new mix of "I Am the Walrus". It sounds so much fresh and powerful and immersive while retaining its ahead-of-its-time and out-of-this-world character, and the new prominence that the radio broadcast has in the ending left me speechless, as you can hear the excerpts of King Lear intertwined with news broadcasts from across Europe (for example, at 4:17 there's a French news broadcaster that says "...les affaires du Viêt Nam...", which can be translated to "the situation in Vietnam"), capturing the sheer chaos of the era. Absolutely brilliant!

[@brettalbert3276]

Well said. I think it's great too. And we can always go back to earlier versions if we want to hear the old ending - but this new ending works & is very cool.

[@carmelanoname3526]

Hey Elliot, greetings from Germany. I really love your channel. This brought tears to my eyes. I have been a Beatles fan since I turned 10 in 1973. The red album just came out and I saved for months to buy it for 25 DM back then. Lovely memories. Keep cherishing them 😍

[@cronggamer3067]

I’m honestly still miffed Revolution’s guitars were panned to one side. Also find it weird how it wasn’t remixed earlier for the white album

[@YusefIsAGod]

I know, right? It's even more baffling because the Love remix does contain a modern stereo mix, with drums/bass in the middle and the guitars panned.

[@elvisleeboy]

Not only do I think they should remix every Beatles album before Revolver, my hope is that lots of sixties and even fifties music gets this treatment, like Elvis, Del Shannon, Orbison, The Searchers and so on.

[@reeses_nixed_peices]

I definetly agree that compilations can serve as a gateway - Once upon a time, my mom got a copy of 1 from the library, and I listened obsessively while on a road trip. Soon after, I got the white album and got hooked.

[@jonathanmurphy3141]

Got these albums, color vinyl in 1978, after my brother and I saw “yellow submarine” at a cinema, a children’s film fest. My brother and I were born in 1967 and 1969. I’ve been enjoying the Red album, driving in my car 🚘😉 now getting into Blue. Yes, glad of several additions. 🎸

[@emmarossiter8168]

As a MASSIVE early Beatles fan (like, Please Please Me is my favourite Beatles album) who's been holding out hope that the early albums will all get the Giles Martin treatment too, the remixed Red Album was an even bigger deal for me than Now and Then. So much of that early stuff gets passed off as artistically insignificant or bubblegummy, but I truly think there's an energy in their 1963-5 work - the combination of their technical ability on their instruments, their pop song-crafting, and their dynamic as a group - that I've never heard any other pop act replicate. Those new mixes of Please Please Me, I Saw Her Standing There, I Want to Hold Your Hand, This Boy, And I Love Her - they highlight everything I think is so special about that part of their career, and they made me feel like I was listening to those songs for the first time again, which is pretty special for someone born nearly three decades after they broke up. Thanks for this video, I love seeing other people appreciate those songs too!!

[@TimothyHalkowski]

Love the boosted drums and bass on most of the remixes; also the clarity in the harmony vocals. Giles Martin did a great job.

[@ItzRobbie05]

although I'm unsure if it was possible, I hoped Giles would fix "Old Brown Shoe" so it wasn't so muffled.

[@mikefrollo]

I'm a bit, well, mixed on the new remixes. I think they sound way better than the previous stereo versions, but the separation is still a little too extreme. Maybe it's just what I'm used to, but the mono mixes just sound so much more natural to me.

[@christophercsweetman9876]

Thank you for not trashing the new "I Am The Walrus" mix, I think it's fantastic!

[@strathman7501]

To me the vocal shakiness on Love Me Do sounds like it always has. I'd rather they'd used the much better Alan White version on this, as we already got the Ringo one again on the flip of Now & Then.

It's so wonderful to hear these remixes especially the early (Red Album) stuff, finally in legitimate stereo. And what a great job was done. The Dolby Atmos treatment is fantastic. The music lives and breathes. BTW The compilation "The U.S. Albums" on Apple Music has mono and stereo versions of every album up to and including Revolver, plus what is is my favourite Beatles compilation which was released as "Hey Jude" in the US. At any rate I really enjoy your enthusiasm toward the best body of music ever recorded. Keep up the good work.

I love how your outfits always match the topic of the video. Small detail but it just goes to show the dedication.

Now that it's possible to separate voices and instruments with this new technology, someone should really consider making a new Beatles Rock Band game. A big reason for why so many songs didn't make it onto that game was because it was too hard to separate all the elements of the songs. But now that it's possible, I'd love to be a new game with this in mind.

Awesome! I felt like I was the only one excited about Red and Blue 2023, can't wait to dig into your analysis.

I’m glad you pointed out the stereo mixes on those original cds. I had them on my iPod back in high school and god forbid a headphone go out. I had this happen lol

I got into the beatles when I was a teen in the mid to late 00's and I vividly remember how annoying it was to pop a single headphone in, only to hear the drums and vocals only, or just the bassline and some piano. I'm extremely grateful for how carefully and methodically they're caring for the Beatles catalog, as their music is truly a tremendous piece of history.

The subtle panning from left to right on my speakers on this video made me chuckle more than I thought it would hahahaha

I grew up with the blue album (my sisters). I tried to make a tape recording of one of the songs, and what I did was simply to place my little tape recorder in front of on of the speakers. That's how I learned about the primitive stereo mix at an early age. Hehehe! As an adult I bought the CD boxset, and it blew my mind how MANY great songs they made I was only vaguely aware of. My favorite album is the sprawling white album.

[@helter839]

I honestly really loved these issues, especially the red album for most of the same reasons you covered. I am however, still a little upset they didn't remaster the other 1995 anthology tracks for inclusion in this compilation, cause those songs could sound immaculate with a fresh update.

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

You did a great job of reviewing the updated Red and Blue mixes. I appreciate all of your views on each track.

fantastic -- this was the review i was waiting for. confirming the re-mix & hearing a bit of it. i will immediately get my copy from my favourite music store -- Rocking Horse in Brisbane...

Tomorrow Never Knows needs to be listened to for the pre 2022 mix. The sounds in the background are so much more distinguishable.

[@gcrichman53]

Thank you Elliot for your great detailed review explaining all of the differences in the original and new stereo mixes.

[@AlexRaesYouTubeChannel]

The little mono-stereo effects in this video is a nice touch!

[@deborahdenaro574]

I didn't think I needed the new Red and Blue set but after your video....OH YES I DO! Thank you. I just recently found you when you posted your Now and Then video and I'm so glad I did!
