I have had it up to here waiting for the Beatles catalogue to be remastered

For myself, it's a matter of whether one is talking about Sting as a soloist or Sting as a Police member. The latter is obviously better than his daughter, but his solo output (save maybe for the first four albums) is really not much to boast about.

OOps wrong thread.

Proof that Geir just doesn't bother reading what anyone else says, the headfucked solipsist.

Harrison demo'd "Something" on a harpsichord while taping the White Album, I'd love to hear that...

disc 2 of the dvds has been up for a lot longer, which is why disc 3 is dl'ing at a slower pace, i think. 3 is certainly the one that is of most interest to me though....and it's taking forever.

Though Geir is right abt Sting, fwiw, lol

can anyone just please give the slightest hint about a torrent site for unsurpassed promos? i cannot find one that has them

d3m3n0id has 3 of them.

merci, sofa

XXXXP In this case, I had just been reading another thread, then must have opened this one for some reason before I posted what I intended to post in the other thread.

Seeing as I started all this talk of promos, I'd very much like an invite to the 'noid.

The torrents are not turning up anywhere else and I'd like to get them while they're popular

Me too -- very sad. An invite would be most appreciated, guv'nor

What about the 5.1 remasters in 2026?

Yea... The next step after the 2CD Collector's Editions released around 2018. Would be particularly interesting to hear the 1963 2 track recordings in 5.1 surround, not to mention "Love Me Do", "PS I Love You", "She Loves You" and "I'll Get You". :)

A Hard Day's Night: Special 2D-3D Conversion Edition (2024)

LOL OMG someone has a youtube channel of 3d Beatles music video conversions...

Need a not-torrent.

I love how those 3D Beatles clips don't work.

Hamildan/Lago check yr emails.

I haven't got any 3D glasses now, but OK, those 3D clips look a lot more psychedelic without... ;)

I've got 3D glasses and they do stuff-all.

I knew a guy once who had a 4D Beatles youtube channel. His name? Ludwig Wittgenstein. The year? 1912. The place? Trinity College, University of Cambridge, moral sciences club.

Yeah I got 3d glasses and they don't work either. I think the red/cyan channels are just way too shifted. They sort of look alright from far away, as thumbnails or whatever, but yeah...

Maybe someone could throw what they have of the Unsurpassed Promos on m3d1af1r3 or m3g4upl04d (or something similar).

If you cross your eyes and focus "inside" the videos, you can see a yellow submarine floating about.

Magic Eye Beatles posters. When are they going to release THOSE?

If you look hard enough, you can see Paul's dead

was idly wondering this morning about how much John contributed to George and Paul's various tracks post-White Album. Take "Old Brown Shoe", for instance, is John even on that? Or "Something"? Did the other two just occasionally bring him around for a rhythm guitar part here and maybe a backing vocal there...? I've never gotten the impression that he was interested in playing the multi-instrumentalist roles that George and Paul often assumed

like that sounds like John playing rhythm guitar on "Get Back" but it's hardly like a critical or creative part or anything

It really seems like as they neared the end, John would come in toward the end and shake a tambourine on their songs and that would be that.

Waggle a syringe

rattle his jewelry.

Play the pocket comb.

His bass playing on The Long And Winding Road is really bad.

Wave his cock around.

Waggle a syringe

lol

I was wondering about this because I was reading about how John had been "hurt" that George completely glossed over their relationship in his autobio (I Me Mine) and that John felt he had served as a mentor to George, that it was them against Paul, etc. But everything else I've read about their relationship seems to bely this - John refusing to play on George's stuff, not being interested in him contributing songs, etc.

Here's John making a very valuable contribution to a Harrisong:

Shakey, Im about to consult the Bible (Lewisohn's "Recording Sessions") so I'll let you know what it says...

16 April 1969 : "Old Brown Shoe" had a rhythm track recorded live w all 4 Beatles, including John on rhythm guitar. John also joined Paul for backing vocals. John did further guitar overdubs two days later. They also did "Something" on this day but John isn't on that one, even though he was apparently still in the studio. Probably shouldn't read too much into that because early on he was pretty vocal about it being one of the best Beatles songs.

As for "Here Comes the Sun", which was started later in the summer, he wasn't on that either. "Recording Sessions" say it was due to injuries, and he was in a car crash in Scotland the week before, with Yoko, Kyoko, and Julian.

huh interesting - thx!

Also it looks like as soon as John got back into the studio, Paul was drilling everyone into turning "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" into the next "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da", so I would guess that song curbed John's lack of interest more than anything.

The Maxwell sessions had to have been maddening

I don't mind that song, kinda love it, but ad nauseum would lead to homicide I'm sure

the irony.

funny that paul didn't just play the whole thing himself -- kind of sounds like he did anyway.

My favorite version of Maxwell is John's piss-take, where Paul chimes in Tiny Tim style. They could still have fun, even toward the end.

I just picture Paul grinning away, playing piano with everyone else scowling, grumpily banging hammers on a rail tie

Aren't railroad ties made of wood? I don't remmber hearing any railroad ties being played on Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Great, now there's another bootleg that I need to track down: the railroad tie mix of Maxwell's Silver Hammer.

Track not ties.

Just playin', I think it was actually an anvil in the Let It Be film.

Yep, Mal Evans is hitting an anvil w a hammer.
