thnx for the info ...
that book has been on my "to buy" list for some time.
Olympic is an amazing sounding room.It exscapes me at the moment
exactly which beatles songs were recorded there (some MMT and
"Hey Jude" era stuff) ..
P.s. I just read a report that U2 may be buying Olympic as they
used it for thier latest work and the studio is in financial distress.
let's hope it can somewhat stay in the "family".

thanx for chimein' in here ..
I've been on that book since the word of it's writting. Funny thing
I've never been a beatles fan. Sure I've respected thier work and
contribution (though I've always said McCartney is THE most under
rated bassist).
they never really resonated with me .. HOWEVER ... as of late with the
re-versioning by Martins kid of "Love" I've discovered a whole new
world. And with all the boots ... especially the work of "Purple
chick" ... I've come to realise that the mixes (to me) were so flat.
never any punch ... I know our technology and sensibilities have
changed but I sure am glad they got remixed by bass-centric ears ...
so after all this time I am discovering a new sonic wonderland !
and yea, I know Olympic got gutted ... seeing it covered in all that
"par-kay" (?) turns my stomach .. but the '80's were unkind to sooooo
much. It would just be a shame if got turned into a car park or worse
.... a Starbucks ... hehehehe.
peace.

relating to the Stones in the studio ?
