[Q-Eight]

The Self-Titled Q8 is uninspiring. I really don't think that or "With a Little Help" came from multi-track sources.

With a Little Help has basically this layout:

Front Left: Drums, Bass
Front Right: Organ/Guitar, Bass

Back Left: Drums, Bass mixed hotter than the front
Back Right: Organ/Guitar, Bass mixed hotter than the front

Joe's Lead Vocals are front and center with vocal echo mixed lower back left and back right.
Background singers come from all four.

I really had my hopes up for this one as many of my other A&M Q8's are actually discrete and nicely mixed. Neither Joe Cocker tape is really worth owning.
