I generally am rather fond of the Giles Martin remixes. But I felt he was somehow asleep at the wheel for this one as released on the Blue Album in 2023, especially the end starting around 3:15, which completely lost the “fairy dust” and mystery of the original. And Holy Smokes. You not only give the sound of the band a drive and muscle here I’ve never heard in this song, while never losing the spirit, you’ve made the fadeout clear and true yet integral to the vibe of the original. I’ve probably studied this song, especially the end, more than any other audio that exists. I’m guessing I’ve heard it 1000 times at least. And what you’ve done here is wonderful. Thank you.

[@britt2001b]

Thank you for this nice comment! That was the goal. It's not exactly as I wanted it but it was the best I could do with my limited resources. Hopefully someday the professionals will do this properly. Thanks for listening!

[@Lancecats]

Meanwhile home-brew remixers have taken the clean, crisp, wide stereo mix of "Walrus" and using spectral demix algorithms have moved the drums and bass to the middle. Every time the official remixers go back to the multi-tracks and try to reinvent the original versions it always sounds off in one way or another. The vintage EQs get ignored, the compression is off, and literally every element gets it's own dedicated reverb. In the end you get a wonky disjointed mix that doesn't gel or swing. Even in 2015 when they tried to exactly reproduce the original mixes for the "1" CD the mixes lacked any sparkle/excitement and sounded muted as if they shaved off all the high end to make them sound "vintage" (who knows).

One of the compositions that puts The Beatles above everything else that was done in terms of popular music. A true masterpiece, daring, avant-garde, that even today sounds as fresh and modern as it did almost sixty years ago thanks to its complex and surreal lyrics, its unusual and hypnotic melody and the brilliant arrangements by George Martin, which elevate the song to unsuspected levels. Let's not forget that this song was mixed on four channels, almost sixty years ago... Thanks for sharing your talent britt200!

I have to admit, when I first heard GIles' new remix, I thought it was interesting and added something. But after several listens, I found it quite irritating that he chose to take some of the liberties he took to perhaps "modernize" the track. Britt....you've modernized it without taking away any of the essence the Beatles had in mind when they recorded and produced the song, including all of the randomness, especially at the end, where they mixed in the radio broadcast of Shakespeare. George Martin and the Beatles would be so proud of this mix. The video also drips of psychedelia!! Thank you!! Just brilliant! Dig, DmGrk

This mix really allows The Beatles to shine with greater clarity and power. This is especially true of Ringo's creative, inventive drumming. But that clarity is also apparent throughout the entire recording and, as an enormous Beatles super fan, it is greatly appreciated.

[@britt2001b]

Thank you. I appreciate your kind comment and thanks so much for listening!

[@TTM9691]

You don't want clarity, you want blend. That's why it's called a "mix".

[@alanstein5930]

@@TTM9691 , the two terms are not mutually exclusive! You want a "blend" of voices, instruments, and other elements, that allows the listener to hear all elements clearly. The mix may determine, among other things, how prominently each element is emphasized or de-emphasized. But the sounds of all elements should be clear rather than muddy. This clarity helps the listener feel enveloped in the sounds so as to allow the listener to feel like the singers and musicians are right there beside the listener rather than at a substantial distance from the source of the sound. And that sensation of the artist being right beside the listener is precisely where "clarity" does its magic.

[@britt2001b]

@@SilverHammer1969 I think I've found a way to make the Giles remix more interesting. For me, part of the fun and excitement of the original mix was the movement of the vocals across the stereo stage. Giles did away with that in his 2015 remix. I'm replicating that movement combined with the improved sonics from his mix and so far, so good. I seem to be having some success in placing the instrumentation back to their original positions also. I think some would say "why do this?" "just listen to the original." But this would bring back the fun of the original with the addition of improved sonics. By improved sonics, I mean that Giles apparently extracted earlier generation takes from the multiple bounces The Beatles created from only having a 4-track recorder at that time. Thanks for the inspiration!

I think you have done a really great and insightful job - thank you for this. I have to say that I have LOVED every single Giles remix, even Walrus but you have found a lovely balance. I've been listening to The Beatles for many decades but I truly hated the stereo remix of The White Album and so Giles has saved this album for me. The Giles remix Abbey Road makes it sound like a truly modern recording, and his remixes of the early 60s (the Red collection) made me reappreciate the wonders of those records, so much better than the bland stereo mixes of the great performances of those times. I always preferred the mono mixes of almost every Beatles album, Giles has given me peace in stereo. But again, wonderful effort here and I will do some ongoing A/B/C comparisons over the next few weeks to see how I feel long term.
