Red Album - 2023 Remix - Full Epsiode

The Red Album was (the first half of) the first official Beatles Greatest Hits collection when it was issued in 1973. Until the CDs were released in the late 80s, it was the definitive Beatles collection --- it seemed everyone had a copy. Although it is "just" a compilation, the "Red Album" has emotional importance to many Beatles fans for whom it served as a gateway to the band. So we love the Red Album! But.... we don't really love the remixes! And we have loved most of the remixes that Giles Martin has overseen! But there's something off here, especially with the very early Beatles singles. But of course there's tons of exceptions to this, and we go over it in this 90 minute discussion.  We also go over what songs we wish were included in the original Red Album release, and what we think of the changes to the lineup in this expanded release!
