Episode 256: Abbey Road Medley NAKED
Manage episode 297164585 series 2863839
The so-called Medley occupies most the Beatles' final album, Abbey Road. It is collection of Lennon and McCartney songettes, artfully strung together by arrangements of McCartney and George Martin.
The whole album Abbey Road stands out for its beautiful and complex vocal harmonies, sometimes extending into 3-part harmony.
We were treated to a 'vocal isolation' of Because on the Anthology CD, and teased by a reversed vocal of Sun King. But there is so much more to enjoy in the vocals of the Medley. Therefore, BDJ's engineers set to work to isolate the vocals from the complete Medley, starting with Because. Where possible, they created (world premiere!) stereo versions of the vocals, and emphasized the harmonies and backing vocals.
So here you, 18 minutes of harmony singing by our favourite American vocal group!
