I do believe that a mental health professional or a medical doctor would not validate your equation of heroin use to working with a hangover. My point isn't that heroin is the same as a hangover. What I'm trying to say is, we don't know what he did the night before. It could well have been a hangov...

I don't doubt it would while under the influence. The Beatles learnt early on that anything they recorded under the influence was no good. While he may have been doped up during some of the actual Get Back sessions, I think it's a bit reductionist to assume that means he was suddenly under the influ...

I often hear it discussed that John played on hardly any of George's later songs, and mostly this is put down to him not wanting to use his energy on them, or as some form of disdain. Watching Get Back, we hear John complain about there being too many chords in George's songs. Could it be that John ...

It actually pops up a few times in the movie as "Their song."

From memory, they even sing or say a couple of lines from it, so they must have had a good idea of what they were getting fairly early on, unless those shots were pickups.

The new challenge would be to find a photo of Paul's Bass being played on stage by the landlord's son.

I may have long ago read this in this amazingly bountiful thread, but: I have the Lord's BBC Archives 2021, with all of the updates and expansions. Once I copy over disc 24 ton this set and add those two new files, is the old set completely redundant? We need Mark Lewisohn to do a "Reith's Comp...

There's a 33gB folder labelled "Lord Reith"!

Listening to this fresh, I think it's a pre-echo of his later drunken Rock 'N Roll sessions! This makes me wonder whether a version of Rock 'N Roll with all of the reverb stripped away is possible. It's anohter chance to hear Lennon rock the oldies, but I can never get past the production when I tr...
