This remix of The Beatles' 1967 anthem "All You Need Is Love" is a blend of two previous remixes: the 1999 version from the Yellow Submarine Songtrack album and the 2015 Giles Martin remix, most recently featured on the 2023 Blue album. Each of these versions has its strengths and weaknesses. In my remix, I aimed to combine their best qualities for a more engaging listening experience.

The vocals in this new remix are entirely sourced from the 1999 version, as it offers a more natural-sounding Lennon lead vocal due to less processing. The 2015 version features a slight slapback echo, which is much less pronounced in the 1999 mix. Additionally, I removed the double-tracked lead vocals in the first and second choruses for a more authentic presentation. I also intertwined the instrumentation from both versions to create a backing with more punch and excitement. Some of the instrumental backing in the 1999 version feels lifeless—for instance, the intro. In contrast, the 2015 version's intro has more body and presence. However, the brass and strings in the 1999 version are clearer, so I used them in certain sections to enhance that clarity in this remix.

Importantly, I haven't added anything that wasn't part of the original recording. I avoided using pseudo-acoustics, which are often employed in remixes but, in my opinion, tend to drain the life out of the original.

I don't claim that my remix is better than the previous versions. My goal is simply to offer a more interesting and alternative listening experience. Thank you for taking the time to listen!
