A Jury of My Peers Weighs in on The Beatles The Singles Collection
Michael Fremer  |  Nov 25, 2019  |  18 comments
Ever since the publication of The Beatles, The Singles Collection box set review, it's been gnawing at me.

Michael & Malachi Exchange Thoughts on, Among Other Things, QRP’s “White Album” Pressing
Michael Fremer, Malachi Lui  |  Jul 03, 2019  |  17 comments
Malachi Lui: First and foremost, let’s note that while this is a review of Quality Record Pressings’ version of the Beatles “White Album” 2018 stereo mix, it’s really more of an excuse for me to humiliate Michael in the best ways as much as possible (laughs).

(For those who don't know, QRP pressed the 2 LP set worldwide. Optimal in Germany, pressed the 4 LP box set worldwide, containing the original 2 LP set plus the 2 LP Escher demos).

Michael Fremer: Always up for that! It’s a way of life.

ML: If you weren’t up for it, then I’d force you to be!

MF: Of course you would!
