There's nothing they can do or release that will erase or subtract from their canon or legacy. They're simply perfectionists - nothing more, nothing less. Even when they appear to reveal their process, as on the NOTW and Miracle box sets, most of it is Frankensteined and isn't the actual takes. They are still about the mystique, and want people to see the final product, not the incremental steps as they were. And a live recording from before 1973 is in that same category, and a mono recording from a single mic cannot be altered in any major way. I'll honestly be shocked if they ever release even one song from it. If they sell the rights to some corporation, I'd be shocked if everything that'll make a buck isn't released eventually. There was talk that they were about to sell the catalogue and publishing for over a billion. But does that necessarily mean they'll be forced to hand over any and all tapes they have ? And would such a deal mean they relinquish any say in such releases ? I'm sure the legalese varies from artist to artist. |

I mean if The Beatles can get great sounding proper stereo mixes from those original mono mixes via Peter Jackson's company, then maybe it is possible for Brian and Roger too. Those are studio recordings with no background noise. Overdubbing live recordings taped with a single mic will definitely be much trickier. But indeed, who knows what technology the next few years will bring. |
