Beatles oldies will get them back to top of the charts

The Beatles are set to dominate the charts next week when the entire album back catalogue is released in remastered form. All 14 CDs are expected to enter the Top 20, selling at about £10 each, or in box sets. Engineers have spent four years working from original master tapes. A spokesman at Apple, The Beatles' company, said "discussions continue" on the release of their music online. The band has yet to allow their songs to go on download services.

Ooh ooh saw the advert for Beatles week on BBC 2 shown on Saturday can't wait, this really is a momentus occasion for The Beatles, god I love rubbing it in those bitches faces who teased me at school for liking them hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Top of Page remember people I am above you so thou shall bow to me!

lol, yeah, I agree. the funny thing is that they will go straight to #1... no new stuff, just remastered stuff, but it will all go to #1. Just like in 1995, when they released Free As A Bird... one dead Beatle singing into a shitty analog tape recorder and the other 3 and Jeff Lynne filled out the sound and what happened? #1, absolutely nuts! lol

No.2 over here they were kept off by MJ's Earth Song, which isn't bad going, so bets on what do you think will go to no.1 in the album charts, people might be surprised. I think it might be Revolver I don't think Sgt. Pepper will be No.1

^lolwut?

^Gotta get... Gotta get... Gotta get!!!!!!!!

I need to get the remasters. My mother is getting them for her birthday today and I am hoping I'll get mine for my birthday on november 15th. I've been a fan since I was 7. I'll be turning 25 this november. Since I've been in love with their music for so long I encounter a lot of active haters of the band and it puzzles me to no end. Did anyone go to coachella this year? Because McCartney was on fire. He played 2 hours and 40 minutes strait. Quite kickass. For NIN last tour dates, I thought it would be a dream if Trent covered 'I want you (She's So Heavy)', 'Helter Skelter', "A Day in the Life' or 'Yer Blues'. Has anyone heard 'the grey album'? Its a cross between the beatles 'white album' and jay z's 'Black Album'. Really Really Strange.

On on another note, I've been reading "Helter Skelter"about the manson murders. It makes the white album sound much creepier than if you didn't know the story.

One other question, has anyone heard the song 'You Know My Name (Look Up My Number)'. Really experimental.

Here's a metal version of "I want you (she's so heavy)" : [www.youtube.com]

See the Site of the Beatles’ First US Performance…Before It’s Gone for Good



Just two days after their introduction to America on The Ed Sullivan Show, the Beatles held their first live, stateside performance at DC’s Washington Coliseum on February 11th, 1964. A crowd of 7,000 packed the arena at 3rd and M Streets, NE, as John, Paul, George and Ringo kicked off a landmark tour of the States that would influence an entire generation to come.

But, for the building that hosted this celebrated moment in the history of rock and roll, the ensuing years have been anything but kind. The derelict structure, more commonly known today as the Uline Arena, was most recently an indoor parking lot — and, prior to that, a informal trash dump. Now, all of that could be changing and metro area residents have two chances for a look back at the Uline before it goes under the development knife.

On Saturday, September 19th, the NoMa BID will be hosting a brief tour that will feature the Uline, along with other a handful of other historic sites in the neighborhood that includes the old telephone warehouse that will soon make way for National Public Radio’s new downtown HQ. The tour, organized in conjunction with Cultural Tourism DC and entitled “From the Beatles to NPR: The Evolution of NoMa”, will run from 10 to 11 am. Attendees will meet at the New York Avenue Metro Station.



A few weeks later, a “reunion” concert of sorts will be held at H Street’s Atlas Performing Arts Center with attendees of the original show coming together to share their recollections, memorabilia and, naturally, music from the near-legendary performance on October 3rd. The get-together will mark the end of an era, as just two short months later, the Uline Arena is scheduled for a date with the wrecking ball. This December, developers will knock the kit-and-kaboodle down to make way for…a new $120 million office building. Any Beatle-maniacs out there would do well to give it one last look now before it’s gone for good.

For more insights into the storied history of the Uline, which also includes Nation of Islam founder, Elijah Muhammad, Bob Dylan and the godfather of go-go, Chuck Brown, among its motley cast of characters, visit the DC Preservation League.

Q magazine has 200 facts you didn't know about The Beatles so I'm going post 10 once a day.

1. John Lennon was the poshest Beatles. As a child he even owned a pony. "He didn't come from a slum," said his Aunt Mimi in 1970.

2. Paul McCartney was the only Beatle born on a private ward: his mum Mary was a nurse at Liverpool's Walton Hospital.

3. George Harrison's dad, Harold, was a local MC. He helped launch Ken Dodd's career.

4. Ringo Starr spent a year in hospital with peritonitis at the age of six, and two years from the age of 13 with pleurisy.

5. McCartney's mother died in 1956, when he was 14. He wrote his very first song, I Lost My Little Girl, about it.

6. In 1953, McCartney won an essay contest. His prize: Geoffrey Trease's The Seven Queens of England.

7. Lennon's third year school report: "Hopeless... he is wasting other pupils' time."

8. McCartney's first piano was a second-hand upright that bore a label for North End Music Stores - the Epstein family business. Brian Epstein later used the NEMS name for his management stable.

9. Skint, a teenage Lennon considered breaking into a shop with a friend. "But I was too much of a coward," he later said.

10. At 16, Harrison tried to encourage his family to emigrate to Australia, Canada or Malta.

I have to say some of them I did know but some I didn't.

more next time...

wow, its not often I hear someone hit every note and add their own vocal stylings on a youtube cover. nice work.

I've said it before and I'm saying it again Charmless, we could so duet.

Anyway, didn't get the box set but did pick up Rubber Soul and Help! today... MY GOD!!! Don't ask what kind of orgasms they were listening to them because that's an experience one keeps to one's self!

RHEEBLES!!!!! Yes, Mendips actually even had servant's bells in the doorway above the kitchen according to John Lennon: The Life by Philip Norman.

A bunch that I didn't know either though. Hmmm... Need to get a copy of I Me Mine next. Had it years ago but lost it due to my ex asshole's negligence. He really needs to DIAF!

LET'S DUET!

I'm going to do 11-30 only because 17-26 are part of the same category:

11. Lennon met McCartney on 6 July 1957, at the Woolton Fete. Lennon's group, The Quarrymen, supported an onstage display by the City of Liverpool Police Dogs.

12. McCartney wrote a song in his teens called Suicide, thinking it would be perfect for Frank Sinatra. Years later, he sent a demo to the crooner, who thought McCartney was joking.

13. As teenagers, Lennon, McCartney and their friends would enjoy communal wanking sessions. We'd all sit in armchairs and we'd put the lights out and we'd all wank," said McCartney - ROFLMAO

14. Lennon initially viewed McCartney as a threat in The Quarrymen. He later admitted, "It went through my head that I'd have to keep him in line, if I let him join."

15. Lennon and McCartney tried to write a play, Pilchard, about a man who thought he was Messiah. - Ooh maybe the spirit of The Beatles entered Monty Python like George said.

16. The Dandy-ish Harrison's most memorable get-ups included a canary yellow waistcoat and lurid pink shirt, worn with blue suede winkle-pickers. - Go George!

The People Who Appeared On Beatles Records

17. Andy White (Drums; Love Me Do/PS. I Love You)

18. Mal Evans (Organ; You Won't See Me)

19. Marianne Faithfull (Backing Vocals; Yellow Submarine)

20. Brian Jones (Backing Vocals; Yellow Submarine)

21. The Mike Sammes Singers (Backing Vocals; I am The Walrus)- They also sang on Goodnight

22. Nicky Hopkins ( Piano; Revolution)

23. Jackie Lomax (Backing Vocals; Dear Prudence)

24. Chris Thomas (Harpischord; Piggies)

25. Maureen Starkey (Backing Vocals; The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill)

26. Linda McCartney (Backing Vocals; Let it Be)

27. Those pre-Beatle namechange in full: The Beatals, The Silver Beats, The Silver Beetles, The Silver Beatles and, finally, The Beatles.

28. If National Service hadn't ended in November 1960, The Beatles would never have existed. "That would have split the chance of any group," said McCartney.

29. The band's tourmate on their trip to Hamburg trip in August 1960 was a Caribbean-born calypso singer named Lord Woodbine.

30. The Beatles won a 1961 Mersey Beat magazine poll after Lennon and McCartney filled in dozens of entry forms under false names. They put rivals Gerry and The Pacemakers last.

^^

Collective Obsessive Behaviour a mass energy that is contagious to one person to the other when a group of girls start screaming it can emancipate onto other girls, also it was a release, the feel of excitement, anxiety and even sexual attractiveness are what can make women (and men) go completely barmy over someone.

Or so I think.

Oh yeah and another thing Charms, what made you think I wasn't a girl?

The same thing that allowed Jim Jones to convince hundreds of folks that it was time to commit suicide as well as the same thing that allowed Charles Manson to convince a bunch of druggie dullards to go out and kill for him.

Just The Beatles used their power for niceness instead of meanness. lol

Rheebles, Yoko Ono can clearly be heard on Birthday AND Brian Jones also played sax on You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) - thank you for that Splash. It should also be noted that John loved to disrupt those "wank sessions". They would yell out the names of female stars that they "admired" (i.e. Bridget Bardot), things would get to a fevered pitch then John would yell out something like WINSTON CHURCHILL!!! to the dismay of the others in the room who would then be unable to finish. I'm sorry but just ew! lol

*edit*

I'm not trying to argue with you Rheebles *hugs* merely adding to your postings!
