Help and Rubber Soul, what did we use? We used George Martin’s 1986 digital U-matic versions and yes the press release did state ‚transferred from the original analogue master tapes‘. However we are all human and that was overlooked, but not within the CD booklets where this is clearly indicated. Why were they used for the stereo box set and not the original 60’s versions? This was not the mastering team’s decision; we’re not that important (sarcasm). This was made higher up than us, however the team along with Mike Heatley can at least take credit for proposing that the originals should be released as well, which Jeff Jones readily agreed with. Finally George Martin re-mixed these two albums back then at his own studio AIR. I might have to hold my hands up to making a mistake here as I think I have suggested they were mixed in 86, they were actually created in February 1987, sorry. In response to Ron’s statement that „I would never say that Jeff Jones ordered the original masters to be redone“, you’re right I wouldn’t, because he didn’t.
Nun ja, laut Apple-Pressemitteilung soll doch die Mono-Box die beiden originalen Stereoabmischungen von „Help“ und „Rubber Soul“ enthalten:
Apple:Help! (CD also includes original 1965 stereo mix)+
Rubber Soul (CD also include original 1965 stereo mix)+
