Recording The Beatles

Looks good. $100 though, I guess an ordinary paperback version will come out eventually.

Have you read The Beatles' Gear? Excellent read.

I haven't got that one yet, the fact he mentions the wrong Vox solid state amp for 1967 annoys me though.

Oops. I think the one I have is a revised edition, maybe he updated it to fix that faux pas?

In any case I was more interested in the guitars, everybody knows that Vox solid state amps are rubbish. ;)

Well The Beatles themselves clearly didn't, neither did The Roliing Stones. :up:

The ones I love are very unique, not like yer usual solid state amps at all.

So what tracks did The Beatles use the solid state amps on?

Of course they used some lovely Fender amps as well, but...

She Said, She Said on Revolver and the piercing treble leads on pepper are the hybrid amp for example

Then sometime in 1967 Vox gave The Beatles a whole new backline of completely solid state amps, as well as The Rolling Stones and The Hollies.

Anyway, songs which obviously feature the all SS amps are:

Hello, Goodbye

Lady Madonna

Hey Bulldog

Birthday(the piano was fed through the amp and utilised its 3 position M.R.B effect, you can hear it being flipped through the positions during the song, especially at the end.)

Savoy Truffle

Happiness Is a Warm Gun

I've had the preamp made in to a pedal and should have it soon, yippee! :love:
