THE BEATLES – PLEASE PLEASE ME: 2025 STEREO REMIX (2CD)

The most perfect 2025 latest update stereo remix, created by isolating specific instruments and vocals through spectral analysis.

　Fan demixing of The Beatles’ first two albums seemed to have reached a milestone with the completion of Prof. Stoned’s 2022 releases of “PLEASE PLEASE ME 2022 STEREO REMIX” and “WITH THE BEATLES 2022 STEREO REMIX.” The following year, he even felt like he’d reached the next stage with the release of the “Red Album,” the first official release to use extensive demixing technology on early Beatles recordings.

　However, the pioneer of demixing early Beatles recordings is undoubtedly Lord Reith. He was the one who initiated this process in the first place, and at the end of this summer he released a new demix album for the first time in a long while. The demix collection previously released in 2022 under the name “FABRACADABRA” has now been significantly reworked and released.

　So this time, Lord Reith’s latest demixes of The Beatles’ first two albums will be released on limited press CD, starting with their first album, “PLEASE PLEASE ME.”

　Even just listening to the opening track, “I Saw Her Standing There,” will leave you blown away by its outstanding finish.

Until 2022, the main focus of fan-made demixes was to place the vocals in the center while separating the performance into left and right. Three years later, with the evolution of AI-based demix technology and Lord Reith’s outstanding sense, the finished product has far surpassed the level of that time.

　Demix’s “Red Album” album caused quite a stir when it was first released, but the unnaturalness of Ringo’s drums, especially on “I Saw Her Standing There,” was obvious. In contrast, Demix’s latest recording not only achieves a natural tone and separation of each instrument, but also delivers a powerful performance.

　Furthermore, the results of Lord Reith’s recent demixing efforts to remove echoes are evident throughout. For example, deep echoes were added to “Anna” and “Ask Me Why,” but now they’ve been removed, allowing John’s vocals to sound closer. The album’s landmark tracks, “Love Me Do” and “PS I Love You,” which only exist in mono, are stunningly finished. Not only are the unnaturalness that always lingered in the past finally eliminated, but Andy White’s drums and Ringo’s tambourine are even separated into stereo. Ringo’s version of “Love Me Do” was also boldly demixed on the “Red Album,” but the stereo quality is incomparable to that.

　The second disc features a similarly demixed version of the familiar session recordings, and the results are simply stunning. As always, the vocals are placed in the center. The mono session scenes are now perfectly rendered in stereo. Even the conversations between the band members heard between takes are brought to light, which is impressive. The famous scene of George Martin ordering George to change guitars during the recording of “Do You Want To Know A Secret” makes the exchange seem as if it were happening right before your eyes.　

Finally, the recording recreates the pre-overdubbing stages of “Misery” and “Baby It’s You,” and it’s a perfect finish. The impact of the piano-less intro to “Misery” is particularly striking. Furthermore, the stereo version of “How Do You Do It” is also flawless, revealing the meticulous performance of a song that the band themselves said they didn’t want to release.

　For this release, rather than releasing the original “FABRACADABRA” files as they were, they have cut out unique but unnatural sounding recordings, such as Lord Reith’s overlay of the demo recording of “Bad To Me,” and have instead included only the original studio recordings. You’ll be amazed at how well Demix has finally achieved this level of perfection!
