Stories of old tapings coming to light inspired me to dig up a reel to reel I bought many years ago. I had dim memories of some Beatles tracks being on the tape, but thought it was basically just a compilation. Long story short - nothing to see here. My Bonnie was on there, and a few covers by "...

I've been listening to a podcast that has Eric Taros in now and then. He's a film-archivist with a keen interest in the Beatles who was involved with sourcing and restoring film for 8DAW amongst other film projects. He's been dropping hints about using some new film for an upcoming film project. The...

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...

Larry put the tape up for auction a few times didn't he? Since Peter Jackson wants to restore it and has deep pockets, why doesn't someone put him in touch with Grossberg and allow him to buy it? I don't know Peter unfortunately. But someone needs to hook those two up. It seems Peter has already bo...

I think Paul was right to chop that part. It would have made the song too gloomy. Also listening to the demo again, John's singing is very iffy on that part. I second that. I love that part, and I keep singing it in my head, although it's not in the track. But one of the remixes that included it sh...

I can't get enough of Mark Lewisohn speaking. My wife and I have a long running joke that consists of pointing out who the Jason Bateman of ....... is. i.e., the person who is reasonable and calm while a whole lot of craziness is going on around him. Mark Lewisohn is the Jason Bateman of Beatles Sch...

That's a fantastic difference. Although I like Now and Then, the compression in the release just got at my ears the whole way through. It sounded heavy and rigid compared to what I expect from a Beatles Track. Almost monolithic in the backing, and while I appreciated the different parts here and the...
