I tried to get the CD single on Friday from HMV but was told it wouldn't be available until Monday, I was also told that the vinyl variations were nearly sold out in most HMV stores across the UK. I asked him if he thought it would get to number 1 and his words were "no doubt whatsoever" !
I would like the vinyl of now and then.with Sony being the big wig of music,won't contribute to their underhandednes with the rollers,even Eric said he wouldn't of done anymore under the rollers,but woody owns the name.
This song just keeps getting better the more I hear it.
It really does! The song just becomes more beautiful every time I listen. A true Beatles song.
I think its fair to say that we are living on planet Beatles right now.
I have been since 1963
I can't understand how can anybody be excited or happy with this cr4p... Perfect time to stop listening to the beatles
I'm in Oz and saw McCartney twice this week.
At the Gold Coast concert he only made a passing reference to the new song
PAUL WAS FAB
COME BACK SOON!!
I am surprised nobody is talking about the domino piece in the back cover, because it is quite significant. For me it represents how the Beatles first lost John and became a trio and then lost George and became a duo. How appropiate for a song called Now And Then. That should have been the main cover !!!!
This song is a true Beatles quality. In my opinion it could be on Abbey Road or on Let It Be. Lennon voice, the little tricky guitar noises, the strings in the end... I'm so happy.
Thanks God, Beatles, and Master Andrew😇🤗
I agree! Make Abbey Road a double record with All Things Must Pass, Now and Then and more Paul. Would have worked beautifully.
Hi Andrew,
Now and Then has hit no: 1 in the UK singles chart becoming the Beatles 18th UK number 1 single,
In its first few days of sale, it outsold everything else in the UK top ten ( not surprising),
I’m loving Now And Then more and more. Just waiting on my HMV exclusive Red vinyl 12inch to come,
Indeed so pleased for the track it's also No1 in Germany, No4 in Ireland and even Top 40 in South Korea, I suspect the red or blue album could be at No1 this coming Friday too. 2023- No1 hit from The Beatles and No1 album from The Rolling Stones, what a time to be alive!
I bought the cd single and I bought the Red and Blue cds. The original Red and Blue (cassettes in my case) were an important part of my Beatle history. My older brother bought them. I knew of the Beatles but I never really listened to them. Once I got a hold of them I listened to them ad nauseam. So I need the new version. I do love the new song, the more I hear it the more I love it. Great video!
Hi Andrew, I agree, they should have used a slim jewel case, like they did for FAAB & RL. Once I get mine in the mail, I will put mine in a jewel case. But I will use the back cover with the clock as the main cover. I like that a lot better! 😊 🍏 🎸🎸🥁🎸
Some versions of the FaaB and RL singles were in standard size jewel cases (the maxi-singles) so a slim case still wouldn’t match for everyone. I think they should have remixed/remastered both of them and put all three in matching packaging.
John's voice is so clear that scares. Vinyls weew made in Germany, where the magical mystery tour-adventure of the Fab Four began, what a way to close a circle of many generations.
Very nice idea of you! Greetings from Germany 🙋🏻♂️
I was tempted to buy the CD single, but in my opinion, it doesn't really complete the Anthology CD singles. To me, Free As A Bird and Real Love were part of the Anthology experience, where Now and Then stands alone. Plus, I'm disappointed in just the two tracks on this CD. If it had an exclusive track like an instrumental version, that one addition would have sold it for me. FAAB and RL received 3 extra exclusive tracks that were not on the Anthology sets (I think). So to get Now and Then on CD, I'm just going to buy the Red and Blue sets, as I never bought those before.
I love the song and the video. I don't always go all in with these releases, but I couldn't help it this time. This first and only new Beatles song in my life, so this is a once in a lifetime event. So, I bought the black and red 12" singles, all 4 7" singles, the cassette, both 6lp sets, the 4 cd red and blue, and the cd single. The only thing I missed was the 10". I had heard about Now and Then for years and was really hoping that would one day be finished. I am incredibly happy with the result. :) I am glad you are too!
Simple for me. They never announced CD version until last minute, which resulted in the fans buying the single twice ( as I did ). Had CD been available at the start of the campaign, people may have bought that version only. This help it get to number one.
Love hearing you talk about your passion for music. Great video.
Thanks 🙂👍
Thank you for a very thorough and very interesting video, Andrew! Peace!
I don't mind the Ed Rushca artwork, but given the background story and the Peter Blake style, seems like a no-brainer to use the clock as the primary artwork for the single?
Nice that we've got both options though, I'll likely knock-up a jewel case cover using the clock image, so it sits nicely alongside the FAAB and Real Love CD singles.
It's number 1! YES!
I bought the Red and Blue albums on CD, and loving them!!
The Beatles forever!!❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this information with us 👍🏻
Hi andrew
I still use iTunes too! Thumbs up! Trish
I've tried lots of alternatives and then deleted them all!
Me too😄👍🏻
Love your channel !
Thank you so much!
For me that back cover its the real cover for now and then
Thanks Andrew, for sharing the new cd single. This is Great News and a Great Bargain, and we get along with a new Beatles single the original Love Me Do even better sound than ever, and to top that some George Harrison art from a clock. Time's a ticking on the mantel shelf ! We can't Pass this by !!! Fantastic !!
I downloaded the song from iTunes. Grrrr….Will be looking for it. Thanks for the video.
Well described as usual Andrew, awaitng on my black vinyl and the cd single,
The back clock artwork would've made a much better cover than the chosen artwork.
I’m glad you got the product!! If you “pre-ordered” this release, like I did, I guess we will wait to hear it?
Apple Records are thieves at this point!
Now and Then has brought back my long , long time Love for The Beatles. Love all your content Andrew. I have a question, is the new Love Me Do on the new Red Collection?
Thanks Michael! Yes, Love Me Do 2023 remix will be on the new Red.
Cheers for this Andrew, awaiting mine in a few days. Obviousoy it was rush released when Apple realised that people actually want it on CD! Hence the bare bones packaging. But no complaints here, as CD's still remain my favourite format.
Can’t produce 100s of thousands of CDs and ship them from Germany in a matter of hours. They likely just wanted to focus on the analogue physical formats to boost sales. Especially the vinyl with that extra sheet which has the John Harris essay.
I had read about the clock story did you see Olivia. On Jools Holland she was in the audience She only spoke a few words it was nice to see her The clock artwork is lovely.
Was that the most recent episode? I'll have a look on iPlayer for it, thanks
Last night Andrew latest she’s only talking for a few minutes
Hi Andrew. I agree with your two possible scenarios regarding the cd single. Love me do sounds great, but i would have preferred more stereo separation.
I guess the problem with that is there isn't enough instruments on it to warrant it? I'm pretty sure there's only George on guitar, John on harmonica, bass, drums and vocals. If they pull the guitar and harmonica too wide, it's going to sound very weak in the middle of the stereo image?
great video.
Nice video, and a good new song, ive just ordered it thursday, didnt now it was avaible as a cd single, hope i i will get it.
Mine arrived today too.
I totally agree with you on your comments of the Now and Then CD release. For the first time since 1968 I was hesitant to the News of the pending release of 62-66 + 67-70 Albums. Sadly these albums have been expanded to three vinyls additional tracks not in chronological order + the up dating on most of the tracks are not even recent then only Now and Then appears on 67-70 with the real absence of Free as a Bird / Real Love. Sadly this release demonstrates it has been composed by New Management of Apple? When we could of had the luxury of Magical Mystery Tour Box Set / Yellow Submarine Box Set its very dis heartening.
So glad the collectors are getting every version....even if it is lagging in announcement.
I have such mixed feelings about the Now and Then music video. Wondering how others feel about it.
Thank you, Andrew, for yet another informative Beatles video. I share your disappointment that the CD single was not released in a plastic holder like 'Free As A Bird' & 'Real Love.' And thank you for spring out the significance of the reverse cover. I wonder why it was not chosen as the Front cover for the single, given its pertinent relevance. Looking forward to Friday's Red & Blue releases.
I ordered my copy this morning. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Interesting info cheers - I'm waiting for my cd single to arrive, I was hoping for a slim jewel case version too. Given the official store still hasn't despatched my cd yet suggests it was a later option to offer it (as my other format despatched on launch day and arrived on the day after)
Great informational video. I'm still waiting for my copy. As the version of Love Me Do on the CD is a vinyl rip, it will be interesting to see how the stereo demix technology stands up.
Hi Andrew, mine arrived yesterday courtesy Royal Mail.
Would have been nice to have the insert added, but so be it. The 'Love Me Do' remix sounds good to me. 👍
I still have my original of FAAB and Real Love singles I purchased on vinyl, cassette and cd. In America we did not get the slim cd cases for the single idk why they don’t use the cd cases no more. I don’t like the digipaks or cardboard sleeves for cds. Thanks for showing. Take care!
Hello Andrew - thanks for the video! Some details regarding "Love Me Do", going back to the basics ...
Disregarding the 6 June 1962 version of "Love Me Do" with Pete Best on drums, there were 2 different recordings made of "Love Me Do":
(v1) recorded 4 September 1962 with Ringo on drums [this is the original single version, which is now on the "Now And Then" CD single], and,
(v2) recorded 11 September 1962 with Andy White on drums and on which Ringo played tambourine [this is the original album version].
Important note: the original twin-track tapes of "Love Me Do" [ditto for for "P.S. I Love You", "She Loves You", and "I'll Get You" - going by memory, I believe that "Ask Me Why" is also MONO] were "discarded", which likely means that they re-used the tapes for other EMI recordings! I believe there were a few occasions when "Love Me Do" was released in *fake* STEREO, but, the "golden" master tapes of the song were purely MONO.
Both the MONO and STEREO 2009 remasters of PLEASE PLEASE ME contain "Love Me Do" in MONO, and, it's the Andy White-on-drums album version (v2). According to the "1" CD booklet, track 1 "Love Me Do" is the 11 September 1962 *album* version (v2) and (as you'd expect) it is in MONO, since that's the only true source.
Thus, when you were comparing the new CD single containing the remixed [more on that below] "Love Me Do" -- which is derived from "Love Me Do" v1 -- to the 2009 remasters -- which both came from "Love Me Do" v2 -- you are actually comparing 2 entirely different recordings, i.e. v1 was made on 4 September 1962 vs. v2 was made on 11 September 1962.
As for the "Love Me Do" remix, don't forget that the source material was MONO. Using new technology, they are able to extract voices and instruments to individual tracks (most likely on ProTools or something similar). Once they have "deconstructed" the MONO sounds by extracting the recording's elements (voices, instruments, etc.), they can then create a STEREO mix. And, with those elements extracted, they can balance and emphasize the sounds that they want to, and, each element gets more clarity.
The mix for "Love Me Do" is not a terribly wide mix [I'm not being negative, just stating my observation], and, you can best determine that by listening with headphones.
Using the old but reliable analog clock method to describe the STEREO spread/field: the voices are centered at 12 o'clock, harmonica is located at say half past 11, bass is at 10 or 11 o'clock, drums are at 1 o'clock, hand claps are at 1 or 2 o'clock .... there's nothing detectable at 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock. (i.e. there no sounds out wide in the mix)
In the past, Beatles fans have laboriously created their STEREO mixes of Decca Audition material and the few Beatles songs that were only MONO, but, it's great having official remixes of those coming, too. I'm looking forward to hearing what they've done to remix "She Loves You" into STEREO.
Mike
P.S. the original RED album contained "Love Me Do" in MONO, but, I can't recall whether it was v1 or v2 (but, I would guess that it was v2)
Thanks Mike, great info.
You're welcome, Andrew! After I wrote the above, I realized that I forgot to mention that, not only was the original session tape for the 4 September 1962 single version [v1] of "Love Me Do" lost forever due to EMI's re-use of the tape, apparently the master tape that the single was made from was also lost. (under what circumstances, I don't recall)
The MONO and STEREO remasters of PAST MASTERS in 2009 both included the MONO single version [v1] of "Love Me Do". On the final internal page of the STEREO set's CD booklet, it states the following:
- This album has been created from the original stereo or mono analogue master tapes with the exception of "Love Me Do", which was remastered from a mono disc.
Assuming that the original master tape of the "Love Me Do" single version [v1] has not been found / re-discovered since 2009, then the remixed "Love Me Do" on your CD single was sourced from (a cleaned-up copy of) that MONO vinyl disc, which was said to be pristine back in 2009.
I’ve been looking for this info everywhere, thanks!!!! The difference in the drums is clear. The original red album has the “tambourine” version, and in the credits of the new mix says that the red album “now opens with the UK 1962 single version”. IMO I find the v2 version punchier, but that’s just me. Let’s see what they come up if they release a remix of Please Please Me 🤞🏻
You're very welcome, glad that what I wrote was helpful! I can't wait to hear the "She Loves You" remix into STEREO, especially after hearing what Andrew had to say in a video that was made available a few hours ago as I type this.
There is no stereo version of the single version of Love Me Do on the 2009 box. This recording has only ever been in mono before.
Hi Andrew, Got goosebumps when you read the story about the back cover. Still use iTunes myself , also still use an ipod.
Me too. You can’t beat this pairing👍🏻
Fairly recent subscriber to your channel which I really enjoy. Waiting for my CD to arrive but in the meantime have just bought the hi-res 24/96 tracks from Qobuz. They sound fantastic and cost around £2 for both. Wow!!
Good plan! I've done that a few times when necessary.
Looking Forward while going Back to Now and Then, it has its Ups and Downs.
Hello Andrew, Great video. I love that the pic of George’s clock was used, it’s another way of remembering George!!! That cd single package is a Shame. The price is The best when compared to the tape and vinyl but it sure is to bad it’s not in a thin case. I really don’t like cardboard cases. I with the sound quality was louder for the new mix but hey what can we do maybe on the red it will be improved. Great video thank you take care
Think they timed the releae date to prefection (even though we seemed to be waiting for months and months ) - All the Christmas oldies back in the charts next week - Christmas Time is Here Again !!
Great thinking Andrew. My guess is the push to vinyl…..CD single is still so convenient. And yes I use ITunes as well! The back cover of the single should have been the front.,
Hi Andrew, love the song and love your videos. I was wondering if you know the different numbers of pressings for the vinyl variants and also this CD? I see they’re totally sold out in the UK on the Beatles website so very glad to have snagged a copy or two of the vinyl variants!
Thanks Steph, sorry though I don't know details of how many have been pressed.
Hi Andrew, on the screen I read the credits for 'Love me Do'. I could read the credit in block black print to 'MPL Communications Ltd', but not the fainter writing against the darker Apple label nearer the bottom. Could you print out all the credits, for the curious? I wonder, is there some corporate shift between MPL Communications, Northern Songs/ATV/Sony Music Corp, and Apple etc as to who owns the song publishing rights, the performance, and who owns the present remix of the song with 'Love me Do'. Thank you.
Publishing rights owned by MPL Communications Ltd. Sound recording copyright owned by Calderstone Productions Ltd (a division of Universal Music Group/Apple Corps Ltd).
I found the initial release of the audio to be distorted but the audio on the music video very balanced with some DR. Any way you can compare that to the CD version?
I first bought the cassette, which was the only format I could have (I don’t own a vinyl player).
When I saw your tweet on the CD, I went to the Beatles store and ordered mine.
Just a curious fact, I do own both FAAB and RL, but my RL copy has a standard cd case opposed to the slim one that FAAB came
U.S. pressings of 'Free As A Bird' and 'Real Love' CD singles came in standard jewel cases. Your copy of the FAAB CD single is probably a UK import.
A shame the cd single didn't come with the folder, i bought this and the black 7' vinyl, waiting...
I wonder if George made the clock connection too in the 90s when they were working on it originally? I read one comment as a way of seeing the front cover as being linked to the red and blue albums? Don't know. Maybe...
the more i look at that cover...the more i see the Red & Blue covers !!!!!!
Do you expect a physical release of the music video anytime soon?
Wouldn't have thought so, unless there really is a revamped Anthology being worked on, as rumoured. Even then I would expect that to be streaming only for a while. I would expect it to be permanently available on CZcams though
I purchased cd single for £3.95 so to make it worthwhile for postage I have the black vinyl single arriving with it. I am waiting for the white and blue marble one but I reckon that will arrive with my red and blue colour vinyl set.
2024 new Beatles and Stones. It's been a great year
Still can’t buy it in Australia. May have to do a special import from the UK.
I know it's true. It's all because of you!
Which of the different versions is limited edition? Which one do you recommend I buy?
What about the sound of ‘Love Me Do’ regarding the new stereo separation?
Ordered a copy from Amazon last Wednesday with a delivery date for yesterday. That got put back until today. Now I’ve just had an email stating they are have a delivery or despatched problem, which probably translates as an out of stock cock up. Now their website states not available and don’t know if they will be getting anymore. I’m really annoyed about this if it turns out to be a limited edition.
Love Me Do is encouraging for the rest of the red album and the first six albums!
I was hoping you'd say something about the difference in sound quality between the CD single and the 12".
The cover of Now and Then I think is a Paul design. In thoughts they should have done an E.P. of Free as a Bird, Real Love and Now Love.
I keep saying this to everyone and I don't know if anyone else has picked up on it but on the picture of the clock there a are the dice and the buttons..add up the numbers of the dots on the dice and buttons it comes to 9.. that right guys 9.. John's favourite number....hope everyone can spot it now (or then) pardon the punt..i also believe the clock reads 1.53....1+5+3=9...forgot to add that sorry guys.
I’m being a bit picky, but how was the print quality on your disc? The credits were illegible in places on my copy.
Hi Andrew - I agree with your observation that on the CD version at least that the 2023 remix of Love Me Do does somewhat surprisingly sound quieter than previous releases although I suppose that the days of the mid - nineties when remastering simply meant making tracks louder to please the ' bass boost ' generation are thankfully behind us. I recall an interview with Paul Mccartney where he revealed that he felt nervous and apprehensive about recording his vocal for Love Me Do. I think this really shows through on this 2023 remix and you can hear the uneasiness in his voice. What a contrast to the confident young mop- top that would be belting out Can't Buy Me Love some 18 months later ! The latest remix also highlights the sheer rawness of John Lennon's harmonica part not heard previously.
Interestingly, Amazon US isn’t showing a CD single at all. I’ve ordered my copy through Amazon IK. It shows as being sent… but by Australia Post Global, which seems rather strange…
Do you expect remixes of the albums that have not been box sets to be released? I doubt the early albums have much that could be added for bonus discs. I am trying to decide if getting the red and blue sets make sense or will be redundant when remixed albums are released.
I'd be surprised if they don't do every album, but we shall have to wait and see!
Spiffy art direction or what?!
Apparently they are still raking in the vinyl sales in U.S. CD not yet available on Amazon in U.S. I will wait.
Hmv in Solihull completely sold out of all formats today. But they are getting 3 more next week....
Not the strongest track Andrew but to be fair it grows on you excellent work by Paul Giles ringo magnificent achievement
I'm a bit disappointed that the information included with the vinyl singles isn't included on the CD single somewhere.
Odd that they got the mastering right for the b-side, but not the a-side.
I wonder, did the artist that made the clock put the small image of The Beatles at the bottom when he created it, or was that added for this release?
I do not know if has already been mentioned or not but I thought it was going to be a double A side single - It looks like Now and Then is definitely going to be Number 🎉One in the UK Charts on Friday - down to physical sales plus downloads and streaming etc - Does that mean now that Love me do will now not re - enter the charts? Can anyone clear this up for me ? Thanks
Love me do entered low in the middle week Top 100
So how does it compare to the 12-inch vinyl? I've read complaints that the vinyl is too compressed as well.
Anyhow, I'm a bit envious of folks who already have this in hand. I ordered the vinyl as soon as it showed up in the Beatles online store, and it still hasn't shipped.
I have a slight preference for the vinyl sound, I think the Because harmonies and George's guitar parts shine more there.
I may do a needledrop of the vinyl soon and see how compressed that waveform looks. I'll report on that in a future video if I get that done.
Andrew. That little leaflet that gives the story of now and then, what format does that come with? Large vinyl only? Small vinyl ? CD?
Cheers
It's not in the CD single, it is in the 12 inch single. I don't know about the 7 inch until I get mine in the next few days
@@AndrewDixonMusicI love a booklet ! 😂
It is included with the 7" singles. They also have polylined inner sleeves.
I didn't think there would be so little stock of the normal black 7" . Ordered from one local store and they didn't get any copy from Universal, maybe only the cd single sometime.
The 7" was originally the only version I wanted but watching Andrew's video about the 12" and also reading about the sound quality I ordered a copy. Looks I got lucky soon after I placed my order it went out of stock. With this release you almost needed to order on the day of the announcement or you miss out.
I thought I could take it easy, hear if I like the song first, which fortunatley I do and then maybe walk into a shop one day and buy a copy.
In the end I got one copy of the blue 7" which there seem to be enough copies pressed and available, 12" black vinyl on its way and then the cd single with the Blue and Red cd's in a box on order from the Beatles store.
From the Norwegian Wood Org webside.
Here is a proposal for interpretations that we would like to pass on:
1. The measuring tape at the top represents how old George, Paul and Ringo were when they first worked on this song (between 52 and 55).
2. The key may represent the MAL technology that made it possible to unlock the bond between Lennon's vocals and piano. Alternatively, there is a key to wind up the clock again, which has stopped at 1.50 (see point 6).
3. The domino piece with 3 and 2 represents that there were three of them when they first worked on "Now and Then" and now there are only two.
4. The two two-hole buttons represent two dead and two living members of the group.
5. The tape measure at the bottom represents the age John/Paul/George were when they started: 14, 15 and 16
6. The clock shows the time John Lennon was killed. It was 10:48 in New York, which corresponds to 1:48 a.m. in England.
7. The dark measuring tapes on the side show centimeters to the left (Now) and inches to the right (Then).
It’s very hard to find. Also Lennon only wrote the unfinished demo, but it is acknowledged the others finished the song in the credits.
Mine arrived yesterday……has anyone worked out what the clock picture is about on the back? The packaging would be to avoid using plastic.
This video explains the story about the clock picture.
Id love Paul to do Now and Then in concert........
Is the time a bit short for a late decision to issue a CD-single and get it out?
@AndrewDixonMusic .... a good Sunday to you mate... I purchased the
7 inch splattered
colored vinyl and the
7inch black vinyl of Now
& Then. Also looking to
get the 2023 Red & Blue
Cd set. Definitely Now &
Then sounded more of a
1995 Anthology Session
song. Giles and Paul did
a decent piece of work to
complete it. Most
surprising was the
overwhelming amount
of interest in the 2023
remixed package of
The Red & Blue new
Compiled list of songs.
Like yourself, I'm an very
much looking forward to
the remixes of The Rubber
Soul songs. Also,, did you
happen to see Variety Giles Martin interview ?!
He clearly stated, there
will be other projects for
2024, however No Rubber
Soul box set in 2024. Looks now it will be
1965 60th anniversary.
Thanks Gerard, hadn't seen that about what Giles had said!
@AndrewDixonMusic Yes, it's on the internet , believe I seen it Friday. Just oddly awkward all the secrecy with the Beatles projects. Interesting to see what 2024 will bring with Beatles releases. But, Giles only went as far when pressed about Rubber Soul, that there would be other projects coming for 2024, and would
not say anymore on The Rubber Soul box set. That's when the interview pretty much ended.
it's still weird how a baby pamphlet isnt included in the CD version, like the vinyl and 7' versions
In the very last second of Now And Then, there's a very quiet voice. Anybody know what it says? Something like "You get one" or "A good one".
Perhaps Ringo said: "Good one"
@@tontofromtheloneranger1526That's what I hear.
Hi mate
You got yours Great
I'll have to wait till Tuesday.
I'll think it's done deliberately because record companies are still working above their power to release everything on time. That does count for the production of cd's as well
I can tell you....... last week was a atormy one for my emotions from disappointment to enjoyment.
And the latter feels more comfortable.
Take care
Hey Andrew, where did you buy the cd? Somewhere in England? I'm in America. Let me know. Thanks
I ordered it from The Beatles Official website
Does the CD single actually contain the 2023 mix of LMD? On the streaming version it says 2022 remaster. I’m curious as to whether this is just a misprint or it is actually different? Was LMD remastered for the anniversary in 2022?
I'm certain the streaming services have it labelled wrong. The CD single specifically says "2023 Mix" as shown on a close up in this video.
CD is indeed the 2023 stereo mix. 👍
@@AndrewDixonMusic thanks Andrew!
Mistakes do happen. Not everything is a conspiracy theory
Does bitrate vary on CD audio? I thought it was always 16 bit, 44.1 kHz which is 1411 kbps?
WAV files from CD are always 1411 kbps but the music itself rarely gets close to actually being that high a bit rate. With WAV it's just like a fixed size container for the audio at 1411 regardless of content, but with ALAC and FLAC (and perhaps other formats) it's the equivalent of being "shrinkwrapped" without losing audio data, so you get to see a smaller container that's the actual bit rate of the music contained within.
No idea if that made any sense or not! 😄
@@AndrewDixonMusic It does. You’re evaluating the bitrate you get when encoding in a lossless compressed format. Audio on the cd itself is just straight PCM with some parity bits for error correction iirc.
Do you think that “Free as a bird” & “Real Love”will receive the same remix/treatment that “Now & Then” has?
Soon all versions of the new recording will be completely sold out - what's next? Pink vinyl plus 8 other colours? A different cover? ....😮😮😮
Andrew, look up the significance of the number 93 on the clock.
Would be nice if the cd-single contained a little insert as the other issues.
