A Day In The Life; Stereo Remaster

from BDJ's Cellar Full of Remixes · host BDJ

For most fans, a Day in the Life is their favorite track on Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Some even consider it the Beatles best song.Considering its impact, the production on the stereo release on Sgt Pepper sounds rather understated; Lennon's voice floats around from left to right for no reason, and even the piano appears to move around the room....Hence, the BDJ engineers decided to make a new Stereo remaster, based on the original tapes. Now, Lennon is firmly seated in the middle. As a bonus, we can now hear clearly L/R separated where vocals were double-tracked, the orchestra was quadruple-tracked, and how the final chord was built up.What will Giles Martin do with the same recording? We'll know on June 1st.POSTSCRIPT: Well, the Deluxe box arrived. The remix by Giles Martin is rather similar to the remix presented here; vocals remain nicely in the middle throughout. Giles mixes in some stereo vocal chorus that I didn't have..... Main difference appears to be that Giles mixed Paul's bass to the right, while here it is in the middle. And Giles included the end groove in A Day in the Life. Not correct, in my view, the end groove is independent from ADITL.
