Re: Recording from Mimi to John

How did this tape reach us? Lost Lennon Tapes? Mimi and John clearly had a difficult relationship and given the circumstances, it's hard to see how it could have been any other way (absent father, mother perhaps not fully capable, husband/uncle died when John aged just 14, his mother died just 3 yea...

Re: Harry And His Box Set

The listening figures for the early Here We Go's were like 2 million I think. But those weekday shows had only started on New Year's Day 1962, and probably took a while to catch on. Prior to that there was sweet FA for teens during the week excepot a record show called "Teenagers Turn" wh...

Re: Harry And His Box Set

Did your school friends like The Beatles too? It seems odd that no-one ever would have mentioned it to you. If you weren't told by someone, it would be tricky to know they were on. Flicking through an issue of Radio Times, I have to look really hard to find the listing, even when I know it's suppos...

Re: My Beatles On Film Site

A truly fantastic job. I look at your site at least once a week (to research whichever Beatles film I'm crossing off my to watch list).

If they are still in exist...

Re: The Beatles And Harry At The Beeb

Thank you so much Lord Reith!!! It's unbelievable to listen to these songs, you did an incredible job, the sound quality is really amazing!!! Back in 1994 when I did all the work for the Great Dane box, trying to recover all the available tracks in the best possible quality, I would never think tha...

Re: What I want in '24

Star Club - Peter Jackson/MAL mix
First US Visit - expanded and restored by PJ
Anthology - ditto for the TV show, accompanied by 'restored' FAAB and Real Love audio.
Back To The Egg SDE

But I don't really expect to see any of them.
