Fab 4 Free 4 All Episode 254 - Reviewing the 2023 Remixed Beatles "1967-1970" ("The Blue Album")

The 50th anniversary of "The Beatles 1967-1970" (commonly known as the "Blue Album") brought us a new, expanded version of this classic compilation. With 9 additional songs, included the 2023 single "Now and Then," and 8 of the (now) 37 songs being remixed by Giles Martin using the M.A.L (Machine Audio Learning) software developed by Peter Jackson and his team, we have been treated to a new listening experience. But do the 2023 remixes live up to the hype? And were the 8 additional song added to the album from the Beatles catalog the "correct ones" to add? In this episode, the Fab 4 Free 4 All discuss their highs and not-so-highs of the new version of the album, and have a lively discussion about their personal choices for the additional songs. Enjoy!
