New Beatles song released

[M Gaudino]

Ffs why does it have to be so complicated, I just want to hear what they sounded like back then.
This nonsense is part of the reason I couldn't be arsed in the first place.
Not a dig at you, BTW, but you don't get this sort of confusion with other bands.

its cos of how old it is. stereo was a new thing and those mixes were an afterthought.

if you want to hear what they sounded like back then you have to get a mono record player and a uk pressing from one of the first few runs.

anyway if you’re streaming i’ve told you how to get the mono versions or just listen to the recent anniversary editions of the albums from revolver onwards

Cheers, I guess I'll not know the difference anyway, completely new to beatles albums.
I was surprised to see I saw her standing there as the opening track on please please me. It's a record I've always liked.
Looking forward to listening to the album.
Thanks for the guidance, it's appreciated

I have no problem at all with people not loving The Beatles as i do. Why should I ? It's all subjective, we're all different. If we were all the same life would be boring.

I do get a bit twitchy when people say they were shite and overrated. if they were shite how did they sell a billion records and have thousands of cover versions of their songs ?
Even this new release already has 10 million streams on Youtube. Not bad for a shite group that split up 53 years ago :)

But yeah I've no problem with people not liking them, I never liked Queen but I appreciated their talent.

My favourite band ever, are clearly huge fans and it clearly shows in their whole back catalogue, I appreciate the love for them, and how they changed popular music forever. I respect them for that.

But I just don't enjoy them. I know exactly why too. As a child between say three and ten, (1963 - 70) I was regularly babysat by my two older girl cousins. During which times, they played Beatles records over and over and over and sodding over again. They even took me to see them (at Belle Vue?) in 66. The buggers brainwashed me with them.

So as I grew into a teen and discovered 'my own' music (Sweet, T.Rex, Mott The Hoople, early Queen) I did all I could to distance myself from the Beatles ... I even gave away (or worse) binned much Beatles memorabilla I had got from them ... cups, coins, plates, handkerchiefs, etc.

Maybe my love of Cheap Trick is subliminally linked to my early exposure to them ...

Heard it - nowt special and comes across as - to me and probably incorrectly - McCartney wanting to be as relevant as the Stones who recently released a whole album - neither will change the world of music

Two and a half million views in one day tells you all you need to know about the Beatles this little film is really good, “Now and Then“ the record I’m not sure about it but George Harrison didn’t like it he thought it was rubbish.

Insipid.

John’s singing on Twist and Shout is my favourite bit of that album.

Lots of Beatles stuff on BBC 2 now

It's impressive what they've been able to do to separate the vocal from the ropey old recording but I don't think the song itself is anything great and that's pretty much why it was a leftover until now.

Much prefer the ones they did on the Anthology in a similar manner, Free As A Bird and Real Love.

That 2 million views has grown to 14 million in 1 day it tells me all I need to know which group is most popular.
I’ve heard it a couple of times and I like it :)
