To: a fool in paradise

Did their business guru Aspinwall die recently? I am sure this was leaked to stir up interest in a new album. I bought that Love compilation which was remixes for the Circuq Soliel circus and it pretty much sucked. I did not like the remixes.

What George Martin was able to do with a 4-track tape recorder on the original stuff was pretty amazing.

Yes, Neil Aspinall, who, incidentally fathered a child with Pete Best's mother, Mona, in the early sixties, died a year or so ago.

Ditto.

Give George Martin credit for the song arrangements, but engineer Geoff Emerick was responsible for the 4-tragic magic. Geoff Emerick wrote a book about what life was like in the studio with the Beatles and describing some of the tricks he used during the recording/mixing process. I highly recommended it.
