Re: What is it that keeps your interest in The Beatles alive?

Multitracks. I've been a Beatles fan since the early 70's and thought I'd seen, heard and read everything. There was certainly a lull in all things Beatles and then the internet happened. And then Rockband and other multitracks started to appear. I remember the first time I heard the Sgt Pepper mult...

Re: HAPPY EASTER

The Cadbury Egg incident was a real occurrence https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-68673505 But, as explained in the article, the 'Gesture Egg' was a promotion by a single franchised Cadbury outlet, independent of Cadbury/Mondelez Mondelez International, which owns Cadbury, said it ha...

Re: Birth Of The Beatles, European and US Cuts?

A European version exists, and is a different cut from the American version. The following changes were made to the European version: • The prologue, which includes John saying that he wants to see Mickey Mouse is omitted. • The opening theme song is "My Bonnie" instead of "She Loves...

Salisbury Plain clip

This was on TV tonight on an archive clips type programme. A 4 minute clip including Colston Hall concert (no Beatles content) and followed by Salisbury Plain amateur footage, in colour. This looks better than some versions I've seen on Youtube but don't know if there's any better source out there. ...

Re: REQ: BBC You’ll Never Be Sixteen Again

Have you checked archive.org ? Looks like it was rebroadcast on BBC Radio 6 in 2016

Re: Harry And His Box Set

Considering the title - it could have been so much worse... Ha ha! I still have never really recovered from first seeing the Two Virgins cover when I was 13. Having adored The Beatles since I was 10, never did I expect in my young life that I would ever be called upon to see John Lennon's penis. :s...

A good day at the office

I retired a couple of years ago and now volunteer for a local charity, taking in donations of furniture, electricals, books etc. A lot of rubbish comes in but today was different. Five boxes of Beatles books & DVD's were donated. Nothing ultra-rare, no signed copies of 'In his Own Write' etc. Qu...

Re: Is Abbey Road studio next?

Burglars could do less damage to Abbey Road than the overseers of this great institution have done already. On a tour of the studios in 2021 I asked an engineer what had happened to the old consoles and gear now they were using 68 track digital. ‘Gave it all away’ he said, ‘to schools and such’. ‘C...
