@@huskyjerk Everyone on the team was present preparing that mix. The stereo version was a sort of last-minute addition and not everything was done 100% correctly. In another video Richard mentions how he and Geoff would notice later how they forgot to flange this or that line, etc. He had the amount of phasing and flanging written down on pieces of paper, some of them were misplaced or something. Stereo at that time was a bit like 8K today, not a major target.
I had McIntosh amps and Klipsch speakers back in the 1970's!!! The whole system was only $23,800.00, however a Linclon was only $7,000, back then so...
I had a tune in my head that I could not get out. It was the song; "Oh Babe, What would You Say," by Hurricane"Henry" Smith!!! He was the engineer on >100 Beatles Songs at Abbey Roads? I am sure you know his work, you may know him!!! I used to be an engineer at a radio station in Dallas, Texas, in the 1970's I played it back then on the 45rpm. I don't know if I like the song better, or the way he multiplied his voice on the recording better. That was 1971, when "Oh Babe," was released, so there were only wood burning stoves back then!!! LoL. Brother James Kendall Moore OSB
Somewhat coincidentally, I'm now listening to an Australian Crawl compilation CD, which also has excellent sound production (and some great songs). Mark Opitz, Peter Dawkins, David Briggs (ex-LRB) and the great Mike Chapman.
Geoff Emerick has similar views. Geoff said that John was hard to work with (he couldn’t say what he wanted, and then got rude about it). Geoff also said that Paul was a perfectionist. Neither Lush nor Emerick suggest that John was second rate. Both found John to be frustrating to work with. Is the fault on their side or John’s?
DovidM i think you got it wrong mr. hahaha i think the man above is implying paul was the one lush was wary of but we dont know if probably he just liked calling paul by his surname
@@SteveStockmalMusic Definitely petty but also definitely annoying. I've currently got a deal with my (millennial) daughter. Every time she says "like", I let her know. And every time I say "you know", she lets me know. You know? ;)
Some great memories from Richard but, I have to disagree with him on "pepper" in mono. There is No clarity in the Mono version, even before the big box of Pepper 2 from 2 or 3 years ago, the stereo beats the Mono hands down except the Vinyl version of the Mono Sgt. Pepper which sounds slightly better than the cd version! Just my opinion 😁👍🤪
As Geoff Emerick said, the later remasters (think he may have been referring to the 2009 ones) are way too flat and loud. I always prefer The Beatles in mono. One example is the stereo version of Taxman, where the entire rhythm section is in the left channel and the guitars and vocals are to the right. Mono rules.
One question, did you listen to just one of the tracks if you were listening on a stereo turntable or CD player did you summer to mono tracks together that might’ve been slightly out of phase if so you would lose clarity right there. You need to take just one side of the stereo output of a stereo turntable when listening to a mono record and spread that to both speakers.
Having spent some time in England, they seem a bit more “chill” and dignified than Americans. Maybe it’s the pace of life or place of age, but conversing with English people requires more thought than bark.
this man is a gem
ANOTHER GENIUS BEHIND THE BEATLES
Richard Lush is such a likable guy.
Good ol' Dick Lush.
He makes me drowsy. Don't listen to this while driving.
What an amazing man, well spoken. I have a McIntosh Dream System and he is right. Listen to Peppers in Mono
What is it about the mono version that makes it the preferred version?

I like how he just presumes that we know who "Geoff" (Emerick) is.

I love the slow movement of Evie too ..Stevie wright bless you and so long man..
I've always wondered who produced the song "Howzat!".
That's possibly the most perfect pop song ever recorded.
Reverend Eslam Yes how good is the production on that ?? Good call.
That vocal build up and drum roll into 'Howzat', spot on.

ha ha doesnt everybody want to know
Henry McCullough of Wings was talking on Dark Side of the Moon about a fight (it was with his wife).
I certainly was in the right
That guy had a real people problem, from what I've seen and read.
Perfect
is this many really 83? He looks 50!
Can't be 83; he was 15/16 when he started working for the boys.
He’s my uncle and he’s 72.

It's to EMI's credit that they hired this man. He's a bit slow for the environment he was in, but that's real, isn't it.
What does he mean "it's going"? Are they tearing it down or stripping it and re-doing it?
dude.
At 6.55 "...one with John, one with McCartney". Paul is the only musician Richard refers to just by surname here. Oo-er, not a fan Richard? :-)

Lennon was a prick. Deal with it.
Interesting stories Richard, but 57 "you knows" in 12 minutes!! Why???
Keeps people like you busy counting.

why not?
Just knock back a pint each time he does a “you know”, and you will stop caring.
Well, you know...
