The Beatles

[Gnasher]

Junior Parker version.

 

 

 

Coincidentally Cypress Hill sampled Parkers version of the Harrison song on their 'I want to get high' hit.

Had a little listen to the new Revolver mix this morning. Must say Here, There and Everywhere with the Dolby Atmos spatial audio on Apple Music was goosebump inducing.

How so? I think they were complaining about the super tax they were paying which, I think but am not totally sure, was about 95pence on every pound they were earning, plus Harrison knew a lot of that money was being spent on arms/military. 

It was allegedly very high but I imagine there were plenty of loopholes back then too. And back then those high taxes allowed people to have more spending money and many spent it on Beatles records.

Ringo though...

A rich man complaining about paying tax. Can’t get much more Tory than that.

Liverpool was often a Conservative city in the 20th century, until the early 1970s. Different times. 

 

Anyway. I was hoping that there'd be a acoustic or piano version of Eleanor Rigby, but it's not to be. I'm guessing one no longer exists, if one ever did?

 

Also, I've always thought imagine if they'd swapped Dr Robert for Rain and/or Paperback Writer.

Giving discs 2 and 3 a listen now, the Yellow Submarine development is excellent - a lot like emergence of Get Back in Peter Jackson's film.

 

Originally I always though it was a John song, but McDonald (Revolution in the Head) stated it was a McCartney song - whilst these tracks show us it was mostly a John song, with Paul contributions, probably 60:40 I think.

Wanted to buy Get Back on DVD for my father in law but they only have Blu-Ray in HMV. Looked on Amazon but don't know if this is a legit seller, some banter about it being Region 1 and other stuff about the packaging being crap.

The packaging on the DVD is really minimal, it'll be sound I think. Lots of UK reviews there so it'll be Region 2.

Only just sitting down and watching the documentary and going through the comments on here. 

 

Plenty of good moments of them appearing to still get on and looking like they could go on for years. But George stands out as the one that had just had enough. He was increasingly coming into his own as a songwriter and likely pissed off getting one sing on a album. Aside from getting to do your own stuff the money side of things would piss you off. 

 

Felt like had they agreed earlier to put the bestles on hold to meet up again 3-5  years later they could have carried on. Especially had they brought Billy Preston on board as a 5th member. They looked far more comfortable together with him there

60 years ago today they recorded the Please Please Me album in around 10 hours. The talented fucking twats!

Yep, been on the National Trust tour to Forthlin and Menlove, it was really good. And I've took people I know on my own tours - the homes, Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, the Cavern, Garston chippy etc. 

 

Yes the NT tour I went on was brilliant. I’m not a local though. The guide who showed us round John’s house knew people who knew them and had lots of interesting stories. Then we moved onto Paul’s and the guide was the wife of the first guide. 
They try and be really respectful of the neighbours and Yoko is still involved and they send her copies of the visitor book comments.

 

The reason they might seem closed a lot is because they’re only opened about 3 days a week and only about 4 tours a day that have to be booked in advance. We had to meet at the Jury’s Inn and then taken by minibus.

That's ace! But George & Ringo look like the Gibb brothers. If you put Staying alive over the video it would like Paul & John had joined the BeeGees.

Haha they do actually. Maybe he reuses them for a BeeGees version.

I'm enjoying a Scottish (or two)... and thinking how cool it is to love a sports team and a band from the same city that are unique, if not unsurpassed.  Cheers.
