The Beatles - The Black Album (2CD, Remastered) [FLAC]

THE BEATLES
THE BLACK ALBUM
Remastered Edition

Pitch, phase and level corrected from the circulating CD-R bootleg at Remasters Workshop, June 2009.

This is a digital representation of the vinyl bootleg originally issued 1981 on the EVA label (that's what it said on the labels; whoever put it out is a bit of a mystery). The CD version was compiled from different sources, to upgrade the sound of the record, which, admittedly, was pretty bad.

When it got to me, I checked and everything on it was wildly out of phase (no azimuth alignment on the original tape transfers) and the playback speed was all over the place. I corrected these, retuning to a keyboard @A=440 for each tape segment, and restoring the phase to true mono, as the recordings were originally made. Levels were fixed to be consistent all the way through, rather than each segment at a different volume.

Revised front and back artwork is included.
Extra artwork, including a booklet and the poster that came with the album, is available at bootlegzone (search for "The Black Album").

Please do not convert this material to a lossy format and redistribute it.

Enjoy!
