Hear Beatles' vocal tracks soloed
My daughter sent me this link. I don't know where it came from, but it sounds as though it's soloed vocal tracks from the original (or more likely, the recently-digitized) multitracks. You can even hear the headphone bleed, and sometimes the instruments that were being played simultaneously with the vocal, e.g. McCartney playing piano while singing Mean Mr. Mustard. Keep in mind while listening to these a capela snippits that they predate Autotune by three decades. The only tricks here are double-tracking, reverb and tape delay. And, I assume, the Fairchild 670 they were fond of on everything.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

George Harrison has always been my hero. I just love that guy. I saw McCartney in 2009 and in May of this year. It's the only concert I've ever been to where it just felt like an honor to be there. Thanks for the link! I still think Abbey Road is one of the best sounding recordings of all time.

There are things in there I could never entirely pick up before - the harmonies in Sun King for instance.
Man, that stuff practically brings a tear to my eye.

I finally got to see him a few years ago as well. I came out of the concert feeling exactly the same way. I am sure it will be the greatest event I have ever been too. I love the entire Abbey Road LP. I don't listen to it very often any more, but every time I do play it, I am left with the same feeling of just how great that LP was. The back-side of Abbey Road, for me...IMO...it's my favorite disk of all time. Is there anyone out there that can listen to the instrumental solo section at the end with out starting to air drum Ringo's solo? Love it.

I also noticed something in there that I'd never heard before: a distinctly female voice singing a high harmony. Probably an uncredited session vocalist.

there are a few sites that post isolated vocal stems from the Beatles, Stones, etc. There's one from the Stones "Gimme Shelter" with Merry Clayton that will give you chills !!! check out this link [link=http://archive.org/details/TheRollingStones-GimmeShelter]http://archive.org/detail...ingStones-GimmeShelter[/link] According to... The Rolling Stones: "The use of the female voice was the producer's idea. It would be one of those moments along the lines of 'I hear a girl on this track - get one on the phone.' " Clayton gives her solo performance, and one of the song's most famous pieces, after a solo performed by Richards, repeatedly singing "Rape, murder; It's just a shot away, It's just a shot away," and finally screaming the final stanza. She and Jagger finish the song with the line, "Love, sister, it's just a kiss away." To date it remains one of the most prominent contributions to a Rolling Stones track by a female vocalist...

Probably Yoko or Linda. ;) But then you wouldn't have used the words "singing" and "harmony", I suppose.

I met Merry Clayton once. Nice lady. IIRC it was at the same party where I met Sammy Davis Sr. I also met Sal Pacino (Al's father) in his own bar. Imagine all the possibilities for the game six degrees of Kevin Becan.

Just goes to show how truly talented them fellers were. Back when you had to do it right. Period.
And yet...I'm apparently so screwed up by the constant evolution of technology that I kept hearing the places I would tweak them with Melodyne. Sheesh.
But, of course, ol George Martin would've done the same ifn he'd had it.
What a lucky break we had em to listen to in our youth. And to think...they were actually turned down by several record companies!!

After listening closely it sounds like a voice recorded at 7½ips and then played back at 15ips. There's one spot in there where the harmony goes extra high for a split second, and you can definitely hear the chipmunk effect.

its only like 48 tracks each a different note to for a chord mixed from the desk in real time ... the forerunner of the vocorder think phase buildup ...
