Re: THE LOST '65 SINGLE

Re: If Stuart Sutcliffe had lived...

I can imagine John would have talked him and Astrid into reluctantly starting up Apple Gallery and giving them free rein to do whatever they wanted to do. At least until Klein would have shut it down...would have been interesting to see how that worked out.

Re: George: allmusic leaks 2020 (1969 & 1970 & Cassette Sessions Samples)

Sorry mate I've removed the link since this is a pending official release that has already been taken down elsewhere by the estate...I've updated the rules now to include how we should handle official or pending official releases.

Re: What's new on the POB set?

Also posting a link or explicit instructions to an (albeit not yet available) official release violates the old BZ code. We don't do official releases do we? I suggest no one even touch this thing.

ATMP 50th

I know we've got a nice press release and a preview single, but has anyone heard anything about what else is being worked on from the 'mountains of tapes' that Dhani mentioned? The demos from those sessions are for my $ one of the best batches of unreleased material in all of their history, so hopef...
