A YEAR IN THE LIFE






This Album is the result of months and months of hard work inside the recording studio. New songs were chosen from the official Beatles records. We dealt with new arrangements, new mix sounds, new sound effects, and new instruments (like Mini-moog Synthetizer used for Here Comes The Sun and Because tracks)...


The effort of capturing every single detail, sound, vocal phrasing, pronunciation, double track vocal, arrangement, made of this album our evolution beyond "Over Me" (the previous official beatle songs recordings) and something completely different from the album we worked under the band-name of "Virtual Beatles".


In the reviews of this new album, it says we reached the top of guiding the work of The Beatles like in a Museum. We take you back to those songs, without changing ANYTHING, so that you can listen to the real Beatles music, not played by them of course, but just like they used to do in the moment they were taped and tracked for the world to enjoy.

THE VIRTUAL BEATLES "WITH A LITTLE HELP..."



The Album is here, for you to download and enjoy! These recordings are a tribute to the Beatles Reunion occured in 1994, when Jeff Lynne produced the finishing of two Lennon demos with the surviving Beatles. We chose some demos by John, Paul & George (of those songs we thought had good quality of sound and composition) and tried to capture the sound that Lynne would have given to them if a COMPLETE reunion album had been made. We did it respectful and carefully. We don't have a profesional studio, or full time or knowledge to make it sound as an official recording, but we did our best. Some demos are not quite good as Free As A Bird, or Now And Then, where the vocals are at front and clear, but we managed as well. Hope you like it! and thanks for writing and waiting for this material!


TRACKLIST:

1.- Free as a bird

2.- I don't want to do it

3.- Real Love

4.- You saved my soul

5.- Your school

6.- Let it down

7.- Now and then

8.- India

9.- You know what to do

10.- Help me to help myself

11.- Nowhere to go

12.- Grow old with me

13.- Goodbye

"OVER ME (The Beatles recorded in detail")" Is HERE!



Hi everybody! Well, as we promised (until we all are waiting the new "beatle" album) we present OVER ME, a CD fully attached to the Vintage Beatle Sound.


This CD was recorded during 2007 by us, two beatle musicians who were playing in bands for the last 10 years.


Max Gonzalez and I, mostly are used to roleplay John Lennon on stage, but at this point we sort of encouraged playing the four beatles parts inside the recording studio...


After we chose the songs, we began to listen very carefully to every single arrangement, guitars and basses parts, drums, editing matters, vocals, and the next step was to get the closest original sound during the mix and mastering sessions.


It was not that easy, mainly because the Beatles didn't record on digital source, and the sound effects were not "plugins" or "directx", but we tried our best.


Personally, I played in several beatle tribute bands, visiting the UK in 2003 representing our country in the International Beatle Week in Liverpool for 10 gigs, also toured latinamerican countries until 2007 where I played Paul McCartney for The Beats at Vía Funchal in Sao Paulo (Brazil).


Max Gonzalez plays in bands since 1998, and his devotion for The Beatles, and John Lennon made us meet up some years ago for jamming, then made close friends, and know taking part of the "Virtual Beatles" new album, finishing home demos.


In this album you will find beatle songs played and recorded faithfully, while we all wait the project we're working on nowadays (some tracks have been published on you tube as "the beatles now and then", of "john lennon free as a bird (remake)...


Until the full album is complete, we hope you enjoy this CD and leave your comments if you like.
