Sorry about the previous post, hit the wrong button.
Yes, I just got off the phone with my "contact" at Capitol Records who has access
to the archive data. He claims ALL BEATLES STEREO OR MONO mix reels
are Quarter Inch15 ips. I cant think any artist of the era who mixed to Half Inch. I
also believe that multitracks of the era were also 15 ips. I'm pretty sure McCartney's
solo album RAM ('72?) was mixed to half inch. There is one rocker "Smile Away"
with a huge fuzz bass, that sounds awesome on the flat master, but they rolled it off
for the vinyl. I dont recall hearing a CD of that track. Apparently theres a DCC
version of the album, anybody heard that?
