I Me Mine

1:45 • Studio version • G • Unreleased Glyn Johns 1970 mix. It is possible that the master tape of this mix (and “Across The Universe”) was not found, and apparently a bootleg was used, however none sounds as disastrous as here. Any bootleg containing Glyn’s 1970 mix of “I Me Mine” sounds superior; here, a “noise” or “interference” filter was applied to the tape perhaps during the transfer, to make the recording sound compressed and very bad, especially on the left channel, starting at 12 seconds and throughout the track. Specialized fans have published in many forums the comparative frequency graphs using special software showing that this track was taken from the bootleg “Let it Be Deluxe” of the Purple Chick label (CD 4 track 22) (it is not the first time that Apple uses a bootleg for this kind of releases), presented here with slightly modified speed and inverted channels compared to the bootleg, but it is the same transfer; although the original source could actually be the bootleg “Get Back 2nd Mix” from Strawberry Records whose speed is identical to this official version without the need to adjust it, only that the bootlegs do not have this faulty audio. The question is not having used a bootleg but having degraded the sound quality.
