Also, the new cd's should sound completely incredible if the Love album is any indication of what they're doing with the sound.

"Let it Be Naked" sounded like it was recorded yesterday, so if that's any indication, I can't wait to hear the new remasters.

John Lennon's remastered solo albums also sound great, btw. "Walls and Bridges" is a big improvement over the original CD pressing.

This is also true.

The remastered reissues should be incredible!

I just got a botleg of the Decca demo the other day:

"Like Dreamers Do" (Lennon/McCartney)
"Money (That's What I Want)" (Gordy/Bradford)
"Till There Was You" (Meredith Wilson)
"The Sheik of Araby" (Smith/Wheeler/Snyder)
"To Know Her Is to Love Her" (Phil Spector)
"Take Good Care of My Baby" (King/Goffin)
"Memphis, Tennessee" (Chuck Berry)
"Sure to Fall (In Love with You)" (Cantrell/Claunch/Perkins)
"Hello Little Girl" (Lennon/McCartney)
"Three Cool Cats" (Leiber/Stoller)
"Crying, Waiting, Hoping" (Buddy Holly)
"Love of the Loved" (Lennon/McCartney)
"September in the Rain" (Warren/Dubin)
"Bésame Mucho" (Consuelo Velázquez)
"Searchin'" (Leiber/Stoller)

"Hello Little Girl," according to Anthology 1 is the first song John Lennon ever wrote.

The quality of the recording is pretty bad, but if you are a Beatles fan it's worth owning just for its historical importance. It's also kinda cool to hear what they sounded like with Pete Best on drums. His playing is stiff, but really the whole band gave an underwhelming performance.

I love that video, and then I think to myself about Pattie cheating on George with Ron Wood (Rolling Stones) and I get pissed all over again. Oh well, George was no angel either.

*hugs to you!*

I know, I know....its bittersweet. (WTF was Pattie thinking?? lolz)

Really, Pattie? REALLY?

So now that MJ is dead, what does that say legal wise for the Beatles songs? Is it gonna be a free for all, go back on bid, what?

Hopefully Michael had that shit in his will that Paul gets the songs back...if not than MJ truly is a dick.

If that's true I'm kinda grateful Michael died. Because honestly I didn't expect Paul to outlive him being 15 years older and all.

Good to know he no longer has to pay to sing his songs.

Doesn't matter if MJ did the right thing in the end or not... he was still a total ASSHAT for what he did! Sir Paul McCartney having to pay to sing his OWN DAMNED SONGS?!?!?!?!? I can proudly say that MJ as a solo artist has NEVER gotten one red cent from me (I do own a copy of ABC - Jackson 5 and at one point I owned a copy of The Girl Is Mine though I no longer do). MJ should have done the right thing from the beginning though and not taken what didn't belong to him!

I don't know, you can't blame the guy for wanting to own Beatles songs, Neverland Ranch doesn't pay for itself
But yeah, Paul McCartney having to pay money to sing his own songs is really lame

Which leads to my next theory, Paul McCartney killed Micheal Jackson

Was gettin into the beatles recently and thought it was just regular pop music...

And then I heard Because (a Capella) and Sgt. Peppers...

They rock my socks.

Basically since "Rubber Soul" everything they've done is great (except the few "mistakes" of Ringo and a couple of Bubblegum McCartney songs). "Abbey Road" is definetely their most challenging and most interesting albums IMO. Although they shouldn't call it a Beatles album since half of the songs are Lennon songs and the other half are McCartney songs.

dont forget George Harrison never had a misstep while he was part of The Beatles.

also, I finally got around to buying Rubber Soul. And its amazing.

Huh?

Even though all of the Beatles songs are credited as Lennon/McCartney, (except for covers and Harrison songs) weren't those either "John songs" or "Paul songs" for most of their career? Except for "A Day in the life," "Two of Us" and a few others, few of those songs seemed to be a 50/50 collaboration. "Eleanor Rigby" is a Paul song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is a John song, "When I'm 64" is a Paul song, "Strawberry Fields Forever" is a John song, and so on and so on.

I understand that, I don;t understand why he said Abbey Road shouldn't be called a Beatles album

TBHA posted:

Me neither.

TPC, did you ever make it through the Anthology series in its entirety? If you watch, George Martin says that the four Beatles came to him saying that they wanted to make an album (Abbey Road) to which he told them that they could but only if they did it like they used to. He went on to say that they went into the studio and had a ball doing the songs together, playing, laughing and singing all together like they did in the old days (lol, pre Sgt. Pepper).

I get the half Paul half John idea, but it was always like that, even at the beginning. Abbey Road is no different from any other Beatle album.

Haha, I made it through the Anthology series in almost one night, and I remember exactely what you are talking about. but yeah if anything Abbey Road is more a Beatles record than the earlies ones because it features two Harrison songs and one Ringo

TBHA posted:

Wasn't the Anthology series fantastic? I loved it so much I now own it!

It is, I stole it from my Dad
It's great, but there is is still so much more that isn't even on there, or there are things that only gt talked bout briefly each episode should have been like 4 hours

Thats the official video to Sympathy for the Devil...
