Re: Acetates Vol. 1-3 (Audrey Records) [24-44]

Never heard of this title before. Thank you. Audrey is an Italian label, they issue vinyl compilations of singles and acetates most of which is still commercially available. They’ve done several Beatle albums in this vein and if you have a search of Discogs you’ll get an idea of what they do and wh...

1968

Channel 5 in the U.K. are running a series of programmes focusing on a particular year. Number 10 is 1968 and it naturally features the Beatles, specifically the Apple Store and the trip to India. Some of the footage I’m not familiar with - colour film of Paul, George and Ringo individually going in...

Re: Beatles Medley

Does anyone recall if there was a bootleg that had a Beatles medley of songs on a 45 on the one side and an interview on the other side? I'm looking through my data and cannot find anything. Was it the promo single for the Reel Music LP? This included the Movie Medley on the ‘A’ side but instead of...

George RSD Reissues

Not to be left out, Wonderwall Music and Electronic Sound are being reissued (again), this time for RSD. We must be at the stage now where both of these albums have seen more copies repressed than were actually sold in the first place: https://www.roughtrade.com/en-gb/product/george-harrison/wonderw...

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...

Re: Is Abbey Road studio next?

I read the news today, oh boy... hxxps://abc7.com/sunset-sound-hollywood-recording-studio-burglary/14417254/ I can’t see Abbey Road being the victim of burglarising by homeless people. It’s in the well heeled St. John’s Wood; to the denizens of that fine neighbourhood, homeless people will be somet...
