MAGICAL MYSTERY YEAR - 4-CD-SET+2-SIDED POSTER containing NEVER HEARD BEFORE Sgt.Pepper's mixes and versions
#####################PLEASE READ#######################
This is the HOLY GRAIL of The Beatles! Really, when you think of Holy Grail, what comes to mind? Well, in this case I simply got a wonderful BOX, which bares the unheard mixes of SGT.PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND in MONO & STEREO, YES! It's simply amazing, mixes never heard before taken from the 1967 original lost reels! When John Barret entered the EMI vaults looking for everything Beatle-related to record all those marvelous sessions we all know about, this is the reel he didn't find and which was not there ; the LOST REEL! Have you ever imagined that you would hear John's angelical voice in ''A Day In The Life'' acapella? Or just John & acoustic Guitars? Or even extra never heard before backing vocals by George & Paul? Amazing! How about ''With a Little Help From My friends'' Acapella and another version with only the rythm guitars and no fading out with a thrilled commentary by Paul saying ''we did really good'' in the end of the song? Isn't that enough for you? So, how about ''She's Leaving Home'' instrumental or a different version with extra different cellos in the bridge and Paul making backing vocals with himself in the first verses? What about now an acapella version of ''Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'' and maybe another one where you can listen to extra 10 seconds of horns in the end plus no fading out at all much more complete than anything else ever presented to us? phew...... too much excitment for one day, right?
Below I quoted a few interesting differences in the NEVER HEARD BEFORE versions of this BOX ( I have to state here that this CD CANNOT BE FOUND ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, It's an exclusive, I am the only one that I know selling this material) and now I present you :
A DAY I IN THE LIFE - Never heard before beginning on the Jangle piano. John's voice completely isolated on the left with bass lines on the right, lots of ''woos'' from Paul in the background again, no piano note in the end and extra piano notes! This is probably the so rare never released before take 7!
Another version with Complete unedited instrumental isolation with acoustic guitar at the beginnningAnother version with Drums, bass and vocal isolations
WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM Y FRIENDS - Complete unedited acapella version, Ringo, Paul, John & George singing only. Paul says ''Yeah'' in the end of the song and complements ; ''We did it really good!''
SGT.PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND - Vocals Isolations throughout the song creating an amazing acapella feeling. Lots of applauses never heard before. Complete ending with no fading out, much longer than in the ACETATES YD CD and extra bass lines towards the end.
SHE'S LEAVING HOME - Complete unedited longer mix with extra backgrounds by Paul and different violin staccatos and extra cello bridge in the middle......
