Open Culture recently posted a link to Abbey Road but with only Paul's bass lines, but the actual content got taken down. [0] It was really cool though, in part because it's not nearly as precise as I would have thought, which made it feel really organic.

- TylerE 4y agoIn the real world where tracks are cut live, there is a fair bit of microphone bleed
- hammock 4y agoEspecially in the day and style that the Beatles recorded. Today, not so much
- salmo 4y agoI imagine studio-era Beatles in particular would be difficult. Microphone bleed, lots of overdubs (especially vocals), and repeated re-layering tracks on tape over and over due to channel limitations. They really were doing crazy stuff with limited tech. I think this would be hard for bands that really fill the spectrum and don’t have that clean treble, mid, bass separation. Or recordings really compressed into a frequency range. Now this makes me want to see what happens with like My Bloody Valentine and Husker Du :).
