I've had a dream of making a vinyl record for a very long time. Well for the last 12 years I've been in the vinyl industry, but alas no records. On the new BR800 there's this cool old vinyl record effect complete with scratches and noise and wow and flutter :D ... I just couldn't resist using them on this one.

Magnificent, it all works so wonderful, thats all I want to say.  Beautiful Geir, at this point in time this is my favorite of all the Beatlesfest posts.  I want to take you home with me, put you in my closet and pull you out for parties and the like (I mean that in the nicest way).  All joking aside, this is simply beautiful, perfect the way perfection has a way of being perfect, you know what I mean?

Sweet and mellow.  Vinyl effect does give it good "age", like a wine.  Would like to also hear the non-vinyl version, though.  There's a special on TV I saw recently in which McCartney played the White House, and he got this grin on his face and said "There's a song I've just been itching to play at the White house ever since this president got elected", then played Michelle to the audience, including Michelle Obama.  President Obama obviously knew the song and was singing along serenading her as well.

Did I hear "monkey" at 0:31?   ;)

Nice job, as always, Geir. The vinyl effect is pretty cool, though I think I'd have preferred if it was reduced a bit so it doesn't distract from the song as much.

I just found a medley of "Act Naturally" and "What Goes On" by the Elderley Brothers.

So that means "Rubber Soul" is now complete!  :)

Here it is in its entirety:

This is wonderful. Personally, I love the vinyl feel. It makes it sound like an old jazz record that's been in the attic for 90 years, and adds to the vintage flavour of the songwriting (along with your beautiful jazz guitar work...). Yet again, you've come up with the goods. Love it!

i want to dig out my old dansette record player. this is a fine vintage cheers.

cheers geir.(now officially my shortest poem).

What can I say? You rule, bro!

I had a feeling you would be doing this one at some point - Loved the vinyl effect! Now I'm going to be singing this one all day!

I love it!  :)

With your baritone voice and all the pops & scratches on it, the first few bars brings to mind Maurice Chevalier, circa 1926! It's a little difficult to identify all the instruments (especially on these crappy little laptop speakers), but it sounds like a ukulele and electric guitar arrangement? Can't wait to listen to it on decent speakers and headphones (very soon).

A perfect closer to 'Rubber Soul' - well done, Geir!  8)

After a good listen on speakers, it sounds like an acoustic guitar, not a uke.

Very jazzy, and tres bien ensemble!  ;)

Rubber Soul was one of the only Beatles albums my parents owned.  When I started getting into them and played the album "Michelle" was a little more "worn" and "scratched" than the rest.  Guess my folks liked it the best.  Your version, complete with scratches, bought back those memories.  Very well done, good performance. 

Simon.

It's so cool how well this works!  The baritone vox and the song and the arrangement are just right for the time frame that an old vinyl represents.

Great job Geir. ;D ;D ;D

Totally agree with all comment s and oddly engouh the vinil
that sounds like an old 78 works wonders very creative..enjoyed
a bunch tc NEIL

Brilliant Geir..talk about adding something different with the vinyl sound, its sounds as if it pre-dates the Beatles version!

Fantastic performance as ever.

Very cool version...I really like its vintageosity!

Vintigosity...nice description ...sweet recording...an original cover!!

Fantastico!!!

Vinyl sound and voice are a time machine to the '60s...

Nice work Geir!

Great stuff as always. Geir, well done....Alex

Oh this is lovely but I would very much like to hear it again without the effect on . . .

Great Bump Hilary,
and once again well done Geir...
Its a Cracker.........

Alex

Sorry I forgot to answer this.

Well I recorded this on my Boss BR800 and I applied an effect called "PHONGRPH". It's an emulation of what it would sound like on an old phonograph. The pacth does some EQing, removing a lot of low frequencies, in addition to adding the scratching noises and a bit of wow and flutter.

ah...OK thank you for your answer

It s certainely possible to have the same effect with a filter high pass..and a scratch sound in addition
