I’ve decided to remaster some albums and tracks that have already been released.  Just felt I could give them a different kinda sound...

I import the audio files into the daw and then usually load one or more processors of some kind (vinyl, compressor, desk emulations etc) on the stereo master buss. This is configured to colour, shape the sound. My versions are sometimes lower in vol level than the originals. Some releases are hot to signal, but I'm looking for an inherent sound.

Sometimes I apply some chamber and or hall reverb.

Grover Washington - Greetin's from NY (Remisted)

I’ve decided to remaster some albums and tracks that have already been released.  

I import the audio files into the daw and then usually load one or more processors of some kind (vinyl, compressor, desk emulations etc) on the stereo master buss. 

Sometimes I apply some chamber and or hall reverb.  

A selection of tracks from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, 1967
Also, You Know My Name (Look up the number), 1967

I slowed Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds down a half step to its natural speed as recorded, likewise I sped he’s Leaving Home up a half step, to the same result. 
I edited Within You/Without You in three places, to remove some lyrics which were untrue/naive, here they are,

First verse,

We were talking,
About the space between us all,
And the people who hide themselves,
Behind a wall, 
Of illusion,
Never glimpse the truth,
Then it's far too late,
When they pass away

We were talking,
About the love we all could share,
When we find it,
To try our best to hold it there,
With our love, with our love, we could save the world, 
if they only knew

I edited out, we could save the world.

I took out the first chorus,

Try to realise it's all within yourself,
No one else can make you change,
And to see you're really only very small,
And life flows on within you and without you

and also the second (last) chorus,

When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find,
Peace of mind is waiting there,
And the time will come when you see we're all one,
And life flows on within you and without you

For the remist I retitled the track from Within You Without You to Within You/Without You.

I decided to include You Know My Name (Look up the number) as the last track. This was recorded over three sessions (in May and June ’67), the first commencing a month after the last recording session for Sgt. Pepper’s. The outro features Brian Jones on alto saxophone.

Remist cover features photo from album shoot.

For the remist I retitled the piece, Rolling Thunder.

Remist cover photo is same as original - Dylan, 1975. 

The Rolling Thunder Revue comprised two tours of the United States by Dylan with an assorted group of muscians/artists. The first - the American northeast and Canada, in the autumn of 1975.
The second - the American south and southwest, spring 1976.

The band played to halls, theatres, auditoriums, arenas etc.

Dylan came up with the name rolling thunder for the tour after having heard the continuous sound of thunder on a particular day.

A selection of tracks from Dylan, tracks 1 - 3, 1973 (rec 1970)
Also outtakes,
Another Self Portrait (tracks 5, 6, 8, 10), 1970
Minstrel Boy, 1967
Wallflower, 1971
Lo and Behold! (Take 1), 1967

Dylan was an album released in 1973 comprised of outtakes, mostly from 1970, that had been recorded re other albums. It was released by Columbia with no input from Dylan other than the music. It features nine tracks, which have a production sound of their own. The cover design features a colourised photo of Dylan from 1970, printed onto (what seems to be) alfoil. 
Dylan 1973, as it’s also referred to wasn’t released for decades, until 2013 when it was released for the first time onto compact disc as included in Bob Dylan: The Complete Album Collection Vol. One (it was released online at the same time).

Another Self Portrait was released in 2013 and consists of unreleased recordings, demos and outtakes from the Self Portrait and New Morning albums (1970), with a few other tracks close to that time. The story behind its release is that Steve Berkowitz, one of the mixers on the album, discovered the boxes of tapes in one of Sony Music’s vaults, the material had not been listened to for decades.
Tracks 4 - 6, 8, 10 are from these boxes.

This version of Wallflower was recorded in 1971 and released on the Bootleg Series, Vols 1 - 3 (1991).

Lo and Behold! (Take 1) and Minstrel Boy were recorded in Woodstock, in 1967, and were part of Dylan’s series of recordings with The Band known as The Basement Tapes. These two tracks were released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 11: The Basement Tapes Complete (2014).

For the remist I retitled tracks, 

Went To See The Gypsy (Alternate Version) - Went To See The Gypsy (Take 2)
Belle Isle (Without Overdubs) - Belle Isle

I edited out some lyrics from The Ballad of Ira Hayes, the last two verses (and one chorus), 

And Ira started drinking hard, jail was often his home,
They let him raise the flag there and lower it like you'd throw a dog a bone,
He died drunk early one morning, alone in a land he’d fought to save,
Two inches of water in a lonely ditch was the grave for Ira Hayes

Yes, call him drunken Ira Hayes, but his land is still as dry,
And his ghost is lying thirsty in the ditch where Ira died

-I did this because it's never possible to fight physically (as in violence, murder) for freedom, this is in regards to the line 'alone in a land he’d fought to save.'

1. Lily of the West
2. The Ballad of Ira Hayes
3. Big Yellow Taxi
4. Minstrel Boy
5. This Evening So Soon
6. Went to See The Gypsy

I’ve decided to remaster some albums and tracks that have already been released.  Just felt I could give them a different kinda sound...

I import the audio files into the daw and then usually load one or more processors of some kind (vinyl, compressor, desk emulations etc) on the stereo master buss. This is configured to colour, shape the sound. My versions are sometimes lower in vol level than the originals. Some releases are hot to signal, but I'm looking for an inherent sound.

Sometimes I apply some chamber and or hall reverb. 

A selection of tracks from the Sex Pistols concert at HM prison, Chelmsford, Essex, UK, 17/9/76, from Live 76, a collection of four Pistols concerts from that year. 

Glen Matlock played bass on this, at first I boosted the bass frequencies searching…. was barely able to hear anything.
Glen can be heard though, in the opening bars of Don’t Give Me No Lip, Child (one can hear the lack of bass frequency).
So I played synth bass to all tracks, feeling that it could do with it.
Also edited some of the dialogue.

Remist liner note,

'Julian Weir played bass on the album in 2022, so is it really from ’76, can you really call it that, a ’76 piece?
Well…. he was live in ’76, having been born some two months earlier etc….

A lot of music comes from the year 1976, and from the '60s/70s era, did it come from 1976…. or… from somewhere else?'

Remist cover features photo of Tindal St Chelmsford (1970).
It depicts the demolished remains of the historical street, to make way for the Boots store, it’s now High Chelmer Shopping Centre, the actual street was replaced with a windowless brick edifice and a service yard.

Remist back cover features the same street, same year.

With the remist inside cover, at first I set out to create a collage of Pistols photos, mainly from 1976. Dumping them onto the design page, I liked the way they fell, decided to keep it that way.
