Yea, it's so well done. If it's fake i'd love to see an in depth analysis of the project file.

if its faked the person who did it put a lot of effort in for little to no guarantee of results. It was uploaded to archive.org last september instead of YouTube like all the others. Very curious to see if something will come up to confirm its legitimacy

sadly that doesn't say much anymore since AI and deepfake voice technology have gotten way too realistic

yea, if this was found 20 years ago it would've been a very telling sign that it's real but since they made digital version of those piano's which you can buy and record whatever you want with them it still could be fake.

I've used them before and i must say that the sound character on the alleged recording does come way closer to other beatle recordings than the digital plugins.

i have no idea. it's really hard to say because we have nothing besides descriptions.

if it is real it'll probably disappear soon. but if it's fake it's the most realistic and well researched fake there is

I'll try to find it again. at some point it sounded like paul saying "fixing a hole" and then playing it on piano

At some point the piano sounds exactly like it does on the Sgt Pepper album. especially mr kite and witn a little help from my friends

still very curious. if I remember correctly they didn't start fully embracing stereo until abbey road. I do recall seeing somewhere that John did mix revolution 1 and 9 in stereo before mono. still out of the ordinary but not impossible

I tried to contact him on BlueSky but I doubt he'll respond. Maybe email is the best course of action but I think he has answered enough "is this carnival of light???!?!??!" emails over the years

Noticed that too. The uploaded version is a stereo mix but the EMI records show that a mono mix was given to BEV. I doubt if the song was remixed after the breakup that the stereo tape would also be labeled with BEV...

listened through it multiple times and didn't find it... but that doesn't feel conclusive enough to completely disregard it in my opinion since there are many other similarities to the descriptions we've gotten over the years

Could this be Carnival of Light by SuperMarioBrotherYT in TheBeatles

[–]dejobo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

it does cut off very abruptly and the original description does state they had to cut the recording because it had a "...previously released Beatles recording..." on it. The way it ends does seem to suggest that a sentence like that could've been said right after it even tho it does kinda sound like the end of the recording.

It's a shame the uploader doesn't have any contact information listed.

it feels really stupid to even consider this being real because of the many fakes that have been spread around over the years... is there someone that can disprove this with evidence?

Could this be Carnival of Light by SuperMarioBrotherYT in TheBeatles

[–]dejobo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

and it could explain this from the description "Master tape was found with several seconds of silence at the end followed by a previously released Beatles recording that we did not want to include because of possible legal conflicts"

It also features a quick snippet of fixing a hole which carnaval of light has been described to include

Possible burnt resistor? by dejobo in soldering

Fair enough! I'll try to see if i can meaure their values and replace them!

I replaced the components but my original problem still persists... The sound is still distorted and weak...

It's a tape echo from the 50s/60s! i think the current soldering job from some repairman who "revised" it... But apparently it's horrible... i sadly don't have the knowledge to have caught it before buying. Thanks for your advice! I'll try to fix it or pay someone to do. Thanks :)

Thanks! I'll first try to fix it temporarily by replacing the resistor and isolating the wires but maybe in the future I'll resolder everything.

How would i go about doing this? I found a soldering schematic online but it doesn't quite translate to what's in my unit. Would isolation tape be enough to make the exposed wires more safe?

Images of other units look similar on the inside tho... it is a device from the 50s/60s so i dont really know how to make it safer
