I mentioned this above, but if there was covers poll this would be my #1

"an ILX comp of Beatle covers." opening track:

Do Earth Wind and Fire post here? I think it was just Wind...

ahh, ilx. please never stop being cryptic and inscrutable!

....umm, a reference to the lyrics from the second verse of "because"?

...wait. are you saying one of the members of that band hangs out here?

i remember when one of the dudes from cameo dropped in to contribute to okplayer's artist-of-the-month:cameo thing, that was dope!

I know it's completely obvious, but with the community of ILM and its multi-national roots, I'd love to hear an ILX comp of Beatle covers.

It'd be better than anything Wet Wet Wet ever did.

If this ever happens, I bagsy "Hey Bulldog", like, immediately.

how could any version of Hey Bulldog be better than my teenage band's baggy-style cover?

that sounds awesome.

Maybe we should only do "Hey Bulldog" as an ILX cover compilation!

I would be so down with 20 covers of Hey Bulldog.

But that wasn't what I was thinking at first.

I know, but it's gotta be different, yeah?

So many songs pop up that give you a warm glow in a poll like this because their catalogue is stuffed with them. John and Paul singing together on There's a Place. I remember trying to replicate that song aged 15 with my band's equipment and multi-tracking experiments with a pair of tape recorders.

Hi,

Last night I was playing some of these youtubes, as back when I compiled these I basically played a small section to check if they were awesome (or awful) enough.

I think this guy should be re-seen.

You know that pic of Robert Johnson with the cig and the guitar, those spindly fingers? This is like watching that photo. (Also check out the Hey Jude vid upthread)

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:

Download & Listen to COMP TOGETHER - ILX Covers The Beatles (Available Now!)

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 ?
