The Beatles 'Come Together' | 2024 Remix, Separated Vocals & Centered Drums For A Fresh New Listen

• Revitalized Beatles: 2...
• 1960's British Music I...
This is a minor remix of The Beatles' 'Come Together,' sourced from the '1' album version. I believe the small modifications I have made result in a major 'never heard before' listen.
Most noticeably, I have isolated and separated Paul's vocal from John's vocal which occupied the same space. McCartney's brief vocal contribution can now be heard more prominently, revealing a more 'swampy' and 'gritty' feel, especially with his rare lower-pitched harmony.
In this new mix, the drums are more centered, with the kick drum dead center throughout the entire song. The drums still retain a stereo spread, allowing them to balance better within the guitar in the left channel and the keyboard in the right channel for a more natural feel. This also improves the clarity of the guitars and keyboard, which were competing with the lower end of the drums in other versions.
My remixes, including this one, always strive to stay true to the original. Some listeners who are less familiar with the song might not notice the differences, but many will hear the changes immediately! I haven't added anything that wasn't part of the original recording and have not used any pseudo-type acoustics that drain energy from the recording. It is strictly an isolation de-mixing of the vocal and instruments and a remixing of those elements in a style common to the era of the original.
Thanks for listening!

[@artysanmobile]

I’m reminded hearing this fresh new remix of what made them so special. They could sing and play at the very highest levels, no limitations whatsoever. But, what really separated them from their peers was an almost unimaginable gift for arrangement and production. The spaces in this song take ones breath away. No one else did this. The arrangement is more like a perfectly directed scene than almost anything heard in music of the time and they could do this over and over, filling an entire side of an album with one unique masterwork after another. I feel so fortunate to have been there to witness this mastery in real time.

Great track. One of the best on Abbey Road. It demonstrates the collective genius of the Beatles. It was originally John's idea but it was Paul who suggested slowing it down, introducing a swampy vibe then adding his amazing bass line.

[@pethel12345]

I’m the same age as you, started my Beatles interest in 1964 and have never looked back. Your remixes make the songs sound so fresh again and you can appreciate things you never heard before. You really are a master at this. Makes me a little sad that Giles and the others could have done so much better with the official versions. Like so many have said, they should have hired you for the job. Thanks again. Awesome! Greetings from a Swedish fan.

[@britt2001b]

Thank you very much for this nice comment. Giles and his crew have done a wonderful job with some of their restorations but I think they missed the mark by trying to remix The Beatles recordings as music is mixed to a younger crowd today. I'm not convinced that this can be done successfully. My efforts try to remix in the style of mixes that were done just a few years later in The Beatles era, mostly around the early 1970's when a few more multi-tracks were available to work with.

[@mark-madison]

Excellent video, thank you. As I've said, the Beatles created brilliant melody, clean harmony, a vibrant tempo. poetic lyrics, and superb ornamentation effects. Now you've added a visual feast. PS: Their music will be enjoyed in 200 years, like Mozart and Chopin. Many thanks for this video !!!

[@elliotgoldberg5657]

I've heard McCartney say in interviews that he was hurt not to be asked to sing the back up harmony and that John chose to overdub it himself. But listening to this separation of the parts it does sound like Paul on the second vocal. 😊❤

[@whatspadethinks]

Paul's memory isn't the best ever; considering the 20 lifetimes jammed into his life it's understandable. I always took that quote as him saying John didn't ask him to sing the harmony live WITH him on the same mic like they did in the earlier days. Either way the supposed "debate " about whether it's Paul or John doing the harmony is baffling. It's McCartney singing 100%. Lennon didn't have that Fats Domino/Lady Madonna voice that McCartney has. I mean it's clear as day...

[@Kossman58]

I think that was in reference to the keyboard part. Paul originally played it and John watched what he played. John later went back and did it again. That's the rumour I think.

[@fviannaval]

It absolutely is Paul. I don’t know how could someone think otherwise.

[@melamineflorentine8134]

Paul meant that he was reluctant to ask John in a way hey wouldn't have been before. Though McCartney did a lot of revision and arranging on this song. Seems to have slipped his mind that he did overdub his harmony vocal after all. Abbey Road was complete 6 weeks after John came in with the song so it's not surprising Paul didn't have long to internalize the experience!

This mix sounds SO organic and natural-its various elements gently nestled against a backdrop of black velvet silence. Sometimes I think that the wonderful results you get are as much a product of the removal of any trace of hiss as they are in the enhancement of each sound element, but of course your rearrangement of the sound space is once again superb!
