nice. don't think i'd seen all of that.

nice

lennon's sideburns are kind of nuts there.

He had just come from playing keyboards at a Doors show.

That incidentally is the *only* Beatles song where's there's a video of the final track (as heard on the album) being recorded in the studio

Nothing from "Let It Be"?

Only "One after 909" as recorded at the rooftop.

The rest were re-recorded in a studio. The film shows rehearsals, ostensibly.

A Day in the Life video was shot while they did the orchestra overdub, fwiw.

Something I hadn't heard before...

The DVD "Unsurpassed Videos" set you can find ... Volume 2 of the "Studio Years" has a whole section of instrumental mixes of side 2 of "Abbey Road", which are quite amazing.

In isolation, "You never give me your money" onwards sounds a lot like "Dark Side of the Moon".

I also came across the "Cathode Ray" DVD series, basically all the TV appearances between 1962 and 1967 or thereabouts, that they made that haven't been officially issued.

Their version of the end-play of "Midsummer nights dream" that I only had fanmag pics of, then found a VHS at a record fair for 'howmuch?' money, and plenty more.

The sort of stuff I would have ended up paying a fortune for but now, thanks to the internet, I can get plus the quality is as good as possible...

In isolation, "You never give me your money" onwards sounds a lot like "Dark Side of the Moon".

I can see that. "Sun King" and "Because," especially. And maybe the latter part of "Polythene Pam."

On my way into work in the car this morning, the "Helter Skelter" mono remaster came up, and I had it turned up pretty loud and was blown away by how much more powerful and aggressive it sounded than the stereo version. That song must have absolutely blown people away in 1968.

This is a good read on a quiet day..

Results are really quite unpredictable until the top 3.

Never mentioned this here on this thread, but this actually wound up happening:

yes.

107 Every Little Thing (Points: 70, Votes: 3, NumberOnes: 0)

This is low! I might have voted for it in retrospect.

I rank their run of 15 top tens b/w 1964-1965.

Would move several of your "solid"s up to "good to great" but can't truly disagree with much else.

all of those songs are amazing. you’re crazy

also, unrelated, what was the name of the (taiwanese i think ?) director whose screenshot you had on your blog for the longest time before you changed it ?
